Jeff Geerling: Self-hosting your own media considered harmful (updated). Youtube removed his content, saying that self hosting content is "dangerous or harmful content"

I think you might be misremembering; the original iPhone had YouTube, maps (though it lacked a GPS for whatever reason), a camera, Safari, and even a primitive HTML based App Store that paved the way for modern PWAs. Games like Bejeweled were available months before iOS 2.0 came with the App Store.
The Moto ROKR was an iPod that made calls.

Pretty fast? The video was uploaded in 2024.
”Pretty fast” after they tuned those automations to the current setting. And they will keep turning it that way unfortunately.

He's on float plane
I'll never support anyone on that platform. I'll never do anything to give LTT a cent.
Yeah I'm not big on LTT either, I'd like to see him on Nebula. The price is reasonable and they have some really good high quality content.

It's pretty harmful to Googles cloud business.
Who would win:
- A 2 trillion dollar multinational technology company
- Some guy's hobby project

Yeah I remember once when my friends Synology started acting harmful when he run jellyfin on it. it started off gasing mustard gas. It poisoned the well and made his son addicted to zyns. All of the cars in his neighborhood needed new batteries. The country's GTP dropped a lot that month and the ozone layer is gone. Thank God YouTube stopped platforming such harmful content. Too bad so luch damage has already been done.
Synology is already enshittifying itself

Saw the video… It mentions ”ripping” and even shows clips of some blockbuster movies. No wonder any copyright-sensitive automation gets triggered pretty fast. This will only get worse.
What if I decide to digitize my entire movie catalog? I would have to rip those DVDs and blurays...

it would be amazing if geerlingguy was the one to make youtube go mask off
wrote last edited by [email protected]Google has been mask off since they removed "don't be evil" as their slogan, and they've been proving it ever since. Apparently people don't pay attention!

I seem to remember Jeff explaining his choice, and a big factor was that Nebula doesn't have comments under videos, nor any other similar forums for video posters and watchers to chat. I think he said he wouldn't be happy without that direct interaction.

I think if the ripping includes de-DRM-ing it's is illegal in a lot of countries. I am not saying it's right, we should own our own content, I am just saying it as a fact.

What they did to you?

Would YOU download an API call?
Would you create an api to download an API call?

Yeah. That's illegal in lots of countries.

I would go so far as to say they are already in a shit state, but they're just not stopping the process yet.
-

A lot of people don't realise that the application of the VCR was technically copyright infringement, especially so when you lent tapes to your friends.
-
Yeah. That's illegal in lots of countries.
But it is legal in the country he lives in as well as the country YouTube is headquartered in.

Yes, exactly. The server I run jellyfin on kept promising me cake, though I am fairly certain the cake is a lie.

Is it? I'm not totally sure, as I'm not from the US but I think the DMCA is the nasty player in this game.

Technically I'm half right and half wrong (I think). It's not illegal to backup media that one owns, but it is illegal to break DRM/copy protection which is required to rip most physical media these days.
Suffice to say the legality of it is a cluster fuck, but the morality, in my opinion, is pretty clear. Fuck the corpos.

I admit I don't watch every video, I'm subscribed but I just kind of let videos come to my home feed and watch that way. I mainly use YT as background noise while doing something else.
His reasoning makes sense, so I guess I'll just continue to watch on YT since I have no desire to join FP. Thanks for the info!
