I will continue to test #ytoff #locally until I am confident enough to run it on the #coffeespace #server ... Need to deal with #youtube 's weird #ratelimiting and various other issues. That said, so far it works!#invidious is absolutely killing my #ram and #browser #performance - I think I will look to #code up a quick #replacement tomorrow. I think I should be able to make something in #python as a #thin #wrapper for #youtubedl https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2649.. The #plan is to make something #boring and #simple ! No #js of course!
I agree with #drewdevault that it's awesome to see these #alternative #frontend #services for major #websites - including #youtube and #twitter in the form of #invideous and #nitter https://drewdevault.com/2021/09/23/Nitte.. I have been considering for a while now to code an ultra-basic web front end for downloading #youtube #videos just for my own use - making use of #youtubedl for the #backend ...
This could be quite a #compelling #socialmedia #alternative https://www.manyver.se/ As others have pointed out, a #offline mode is a good indication of proper #decentralization ... #scuttlebutt seems like a pretty cool system, although its reliance on #blockchain means that it is doomed to be a #storage nightmare. More #comments on #hackernews here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=286..
As somebody who regularly uses their #pine #pinetab - I would suggest that it is very much not a #replacement or #alternative to the #ipad https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xPe8bDOp.. It's seriously underpowered in a way that isn't even funny, not a single #feature of the device is even #comparable ... It appears to be something that Pine64 may be taking seriously with the #pinenote - but it will be at least another year to see if these changes get migrated back into the PineTab.
Looks like a viable #alternative to #gps could be #tgs https://microgps.cs.princeton.edu/ I really suspect we will need a #satellite alternative super soon. A single #space #collision could entirely wipe out the entire system as it exists.
#podman could be an interesting #replacement #alternative to #docker https://marcusnoble.co.uk/2021-09-01-mig.. Worth checking out I think.
Looking for an #arduino #yun #alternative device to replace #pine 's #pinecube as a #baseboard for the #linuxpda #concept ... I found out last night after reading the #hardware #schematics that it will be incapable of handling #touchscreen #display #input https://coffeespace.org.uk/projects/linu.. Currently put a call out on #irc over on #hackaday on #libera - but it's quiet in there. I may need to do some more searching myself...
I'm very #sceptical of this #wired #article on ditching #pgp https://www.wired.co.uk/article/efail-pg.. They are recommending people switch to #signal as a "better" #alternative ? Yeah right. PGP *can* and *will* be fixed, Signal #messenger #security is broken by design!

The other thing I really need to know if whether it can handle other websites too like #youtubedl can do.Seems like the #youtubedl project is struggling: https://old.reddit.com/r/DataHoarder/com.. There appears to be multiple #alternatives floating around, although it is not clear which one will win out.
Another month, another #pine update! https://www.pine64.org/2021/08/15/introd.. They have released the #pinenote which looks like an awesome #alternative to the #remarkable - it's also insanely #powerful too. I *really* want one, but most definitely cannot afford it at $400. I'm currently checking out #fitotrack for the #pinetime - an #opensource #fitness #app https://codeberg.org/jannis/FitoTrack Other than that, there is awesome progress on the #pinephone and #pinedio too!
Looks like #reactos has made some strides on becoming a viable #microsoft #windows #xp #alternative https://hackaday.com/2021/08/08/reactos-.. I've been following the ReactOS project for a *very long time* - I may even have some of the original source code on a CD sitting in #storage !
Nice #alternative to #android now out there named #calyxos https://calyxos.org/ Appears to only support a handful of #phones - but could be worth watching.
Looking forward to the future of "X for Y people", this time featuring " #netflix for #black people": https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=280.. If it gets #race based #racist content off of the main channels, I don't care so much. It's a little like how #breadtube , the #youtube #alternative has only served to remove the #leftwing from #mainstream #platforms ...
Interesting #youtube #alternative #frontend #ui https://github.com/TeamPiped/Piped I've been wanting something like this for myself... Perhaps to run on this server.
