Pretty much how it went.

Just good practice. Nothing more. Cant harm you to use a vpn.

Encrypted doesnt mean impossible to guess what it is. Your traffic to pornhub is encrypted. Your isp knows exactly what kind if content you are consuming when you download 1gb of data from pornhubs ip range.

Yes but changing audio and subs while technically could work is not well supported at this time.

Ah ok, to be fair Im an apple user.

Never replace the VPN dude

I didnt like it compared to uhf personally. Lacked polish imho.

Its has live tv and also video on demand. Kind of like how netflix works but with also a live tv selection in addition. That is what iptv is.

Im sure there are some that accept it. I dont remember all the options. You can just adk if they take it idk.

I dont understand your question. Can you elaborate?

Sounds cool, I have never even heard of it!

The one I used accepted xrp, eth and bitcoin as well as a couple others I forget. I used xrp.

Huh, to me the boot still looks exactly the same

As an instance owner I have defederated preemptively from threads. I take the same logic as ‘dont do a deal with the devil’ or ‘dont negotiate with terrorists’. Sure maybe you get lucky and win some but the odds are stacked against you. Instead I am more interested in cultivating slowly what lemmy is as a platform without some companies influence. We are doing ok right now. Ae are slowly growing right now. The only reason they are interested in us is because they see the potential. We dont need them to foster that potential. Lets focus on doing this on our own. For better or worse, at least we can say we did it our way for what we ultimately believed in if we stand on our own and do it.

And as an aside. I dont need a seconder to agree with me or tell me this is the right decision. I have done enough and seen enough in my life to make this call on my own and stand by that decision. Its not relevant to me if anyone agrees with it.

Yes obviously there is a problem here exactly like the reddit to lemmy problem. Just another obstacle but thats okay. Probably it is solvable.

I run a lemmy server and nobody pays anything to use it. It a public service by me for anyone.

Just because some company hasnt figured out how to do it doesnt mean something cannot exist for the good of the public run by members of the public.

Im not interested in conforming to imposed problems personally. Im interested in building resilient systems. That was why we invented technology as humans to begin with. Otherwise whats the point.

Just googled this also but similar issue to freetube? Just an app to the same service if I understand correctly?

Yeah no way Im paying for youtube. Totally bizarre concept to me.

Information on wikis can get out of date if nobody updates it. Probably just needs someone to refresh it a bit.
