Anubis rarely ever annoys me (I still prefer it over cloudflare's Mitm) but this specific visit feels almost vindictive. It used half my CPU cores at full blast for three straight minutes.

It seems to be effective since I can't really "bypass" it with extensions, so AI crawlers probably can't either, but damn there really should be an option to complete a manual captcha or email the administrators to complain.

As I'm typing this the challenge is still running xD

Every time I watch Youtuße through Invidious and I get this crap, it gets stuck every time and goes nowhere.

Public invidious instances are more a proof of concept, its much more performant to run it yourself.

[-] random_character_a@lemmy.world 1 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago)

True.

Will set one up, if more need arises.

...but people keep sharing invidious links.

[-] webghost0101@sopuli.xyz 3 points 14 hours ago

The last part of the url is still the same Video id from youtube. You can copy that in whichever you use.

The internet actually really needs an overhaul to how links are presented. So you can press a video link and opening in the compatible player you prefer.

Same issue exists on lemmy. A link will send you to the instance of the poster, we have special ! Links to bridge the gap but i can never remember how to use em.

Technically, the internet already has what you're looking for. It's just not really standardized for video media.

The beginning of the URL or the schema is already able to on most mainstream OS be controlled by a specific application.

There's nothing really stopping anyone from making it so there's a video:// schema, and then configuring a schema handler to handle it. on Debian it would be a single desktop file with a MimeType=x-scheme-handler/video line indicating that type of url should be opened with that desktop file. I had to configure it for vortex to get it to open mod links, I never knew how easy that was

This is every scraper for YouTube.

The only applications that I've ever seen reliably access YouTube are the ones that work by patching the YouTube app and then using what the app would do.

Applications like invidious or Grayjay almost always have a 15 to 30 second delay before any video.

My guess is that they, unlike the yt client, will wait for all the video to be streamed by the source instead of playing the first chunk
