Yeah pimeyes absolutely needs to be shut down and laws need to be in place to protect private citizens from having their information sharable and searchable without their explicit consent. "Publicly available information" is always the line people use to defend these services. I'm arguing that our modern capabilities needs to be adjusted for. Things shouldn't be so publicly accessable in the first place and personal data aggregation should be a much more vetted and potentially licensed business. Can we talk about what other purpose these facial recognition databases serve other than to stalk, expose, or extort people? If they required proof of identity and only allowed searches of your own face then I could understand the value.
This is the way. Frigate just had a major update and the UI is now amazing.
I operate an invidious instance. Google has really cracked down the past two weeks on YouTube front ends. Its extremely frustrating.
Invidious devs are finalizing a workaround so hopefully things will be working again in the next week or two.
For my own understanding, what potential dangers are there using a Yubikey as opposed to an open source key?
I’m not the one making wild accusations about somebody wanting to selfhost a gpu server to edit…incest porn or whatever it is you’re on about.
No idea what lie you think I’m telling. 🤷♂️
That’s such a weird leap in logic to jump to. Are you okay?
ELI5 please. What are the benefits over unbound?
Got an alternative that isn't youtube?
I've only experienced a shadowban while using ubuntu. I switch between all the major operating systems on the same twitch account and with the same vpn service/servers. The bans have only been initiated while on linux, although they did follow over to the other OSes until some type of timer was passed.
This follows what some online shopping services do, which is to assign weights to certain user metrics and if a set threshold is crossed it rejects your payment or otherwise blocks you from a transaction. So VPN+MacOS might work but VPN+Linux matches some type of metric fraud systems associate with criminals.
Your question is a good one. I'm not the one who downvoted you fyi. To answer your question, it is absolutely a personal anecdote based on my own experimentation. I'm sure others will add their own experiences. Based on my experiences there's no doubt about twitch shadowbanning based on VPN use. I'll admit I don't have a basis for Linux and adblockers being a part of the equation, but I made it clear in my original post that those were assumptions.
To further speculate, I have an idea that the shadowban may actually be triggered by somebody using the same VPN server doing something that triggers it, affecting anybody else on that server. I can't possibly provide evidence for that theory, but it would explain the seemingly random nature of the shadowbans.
I prefer to shy away from those companies, especially Google, for moral/privacy reasons.
I disagree. I think if the company wants to sell its customers' data, they need to first submit to installation of cameras in every room of each member of the board of directors private domicles, live streamed ala Fishtank style on the internet. I think that's a fair trade.
