Huh. I guess they didn't pull themselves up by their bootstraps after all.

The incognito with no extensions. That should produce a pretty unique fingerprint.

Good idea but doesn't that expose you to tracking via browser fingerprint?

Would it be possible to host all the terabytes of DIY videos that are on YouTube currently or would it be more of a "start from scratch" situation? And as an aside- is it legal to do so or is there an issue with copyright and ownership? I doubt that the videos on YouTube belong to the creators but hopefully I'm wrong.

What's your browser setup if you don't mind sharing?

That's a good strategy if you're into movies but I'm looking for more DIY/repair videos, mostly about tech.

How can one consume media these days with any sort of privacy? (feddit.nl)
 

With a privacy protecting setup, the mainstream internet is almost unusable. To sign up for social media or even a gmail account, one has to provide a phone number for verification. Youtube doesn’t work when not signed into a Google account, or if one is connected to a VPN. Even downloader programs like yt-dlp and freyr have been rendered useless by the strict access controls of the major platforms. There is a vast amount of community, DIY, and educational material of all sorts behind these platform walls, so how can someone who doesn’t want to be tracked access any of it these days?

There are alternatives like archive.org and peertube which are wonderful but have nowhere near the amount of content that people have been uploading to YouTube over the years. For example, if I need to fix a washing machine and there is a tutorial on YouTube, how can I see it while still preserving a modicum of privacy online?

Great primer on neoliberalism that explains a lot about how we got to where we are.

Are children throwing rocks counted as militants? And how are military reserves counted, are they considered civilians or militants, since, in the case of Israel, they have a uniform and weapon nearby to be ready to be called into service?

Edit: are reserves counted differently in times of peace vs. when a declaration of war has been made?
