Make all of them run a bogosort on a list of 10-100 items. Whichever one finishes last gets shot. Repeat until you no longer have idle servers

What is this, a callout post?
I've started to just download videos with yt-dlp after grabbing links via Invidious. Using Invidious itself has become somewhat unreliable lately, and this way I don't have to put up with buffering and can watch in good quality. Cut out the middle men
Sounds like Firefox text mode with extra steps. Granted, it might be good for other browsers, but I personally am doing fine so far with a reader plugin on Palemoon.
Also, as other users have mentioned already, it's sus as heck.
Well, that's shit news
Mmh. Don't like that
Figma balls
RIP Tachiyomi, time to try out Kotatsu
Really cool, particularly the inbuilt sponsorblock and dislikes. Those are something I've been missing in my own Invidious. I'll still stick with the original interface, but keep up the good work!
Looks like you weren't the only person to believe the 1994 version to be the better one
More I2P torrenting support
After trying both, I've settled on Invidious. I prefer the UI, it feels more snappy than Piped. Plus, with Piped I had this problem with longer videos where it'd just stop playing somewhere in the middle. Might be fixed by now though.
Copious amount of ebooks or web novel downloads, as well as my lofi folder for background music. All preloaded on a boot drive with a Linux distro capable of both running on the hardware and viewing everything I brought, if I can figure out how to do that. Plus however many snacks I can sneak in.
Good question. I'd hope not
A good start would be to check the website and go from there. I don't know of a good, singular guide unfortunately—there are a couple different ways of going about torrenting on I2P.
I can confirm that torrenting on I2P works quite well! You may have to set aside a couple weeks per movie, though. Still, the torrent selection is decent, if not quite as good as what you would get on the clearnet. You'll want to check the postman tracker (tracker2.postman.i2p) once you have everything set up.
This just looks like you took a screenshot of a regular desktop and converted it to greyscale. There are a lot of things you could do to make a colourless setup work better
That's neat, I should adopt that terminology!
Huh. Neat
YouTube is already a sedated, anaemic whale of a website. Adblock probably makes it run faster, given it usually removes stuff rather than add it. If you want speed, I recommend a frontend such as Invidious or Piped, it's what I use on my weaker laptops where YouTube takes half a minute to load.
Just as the founding fathers intended.
Icons are already a big part of it!
The core thought that you need to keep in mind is that without colour in your setup, you want your icons (as well as everything else) to be recognizable by shape. There should be a couple good icon sets out there, and judging by how late I am with my reply you've likely already found something decent.
You may also want to maximize the value that you can get out of the different shades of grey that are available to you. One step in that direction would be swapping out the wallpaper. Your current one is kind of heavy on gradients, which can get in the way of your other UI elements and takes away some range that you could utilize elsewhere. I recommend something more flat, or some suitable nature photography with the saturation turned all the way down if you're not too religious about the mono look.
For the theme, look for something that relies more on outlines than colours or gradients to distinguish UI elements. Ideally something that matches with the icons.
Also a little disclaimer that I don't rice much and am half talking out of my ass here. All the above is stuff I've seen or read about elsewhere, but haven't tried myself. Your mileage may vary, and happy ricing!
Going through Anna's Archive also works, they usually have zlib links
I don't use the main YouTube website at all anymore. A big reason for this is that I spend a lot of time using a really weak laptop that tends to struggle with the JavaScript-laden abomination that is modern corporate web design. Firefox itself struggles as well, so I primarily use Luakit with Invidious, which runs peachy. I also put together a local html page for my bookmarks that is generated from Yaml using a small C application (which is not optimal, I know, but I've been learning C and this was a good opportunity). Whenever something doesn't work in Luakit, I evade to Palemoon. I also tried watching YouTube via mpv earlier, and it's great! It runs infinitely better than any web player at max resolution and buffers the whole video. Never going back.
Ooh, I should try that! I already use mpv, so that'd streamline things a bit
Yup. I've resorted to checking for new videos on Invidious and then actually watching them in MPV
