YouTube algorithm tries really hard to make me far right every few months. It suddenly starts recommending me fox news and “progressives destroyed in a debate” type shit videos. Usually lasts about a day.

Use Revanced if you’re on android

That’s the way I will go, although it’s gonna be simpler than torrents.

I use cloudflare tunnels, but for a different subdomain so it shouldn’t matter for the primary domain and safety of its visitors.

That sounds like the best way to do it. I can link to the piracy websites so people can find old niche movies with copyright expired or something.

Thanks. I’m aware of the theoretical risks and how bad cloudflare is for the internet as a whole. Sadly, I use Cloudflare tunnels for a different subdomain. While I would like to move to some alternative in the long term, it just works™ right now and I don’t really have the energy to touch it.

That seems way beyond my threat model, but maybe I don’t fully understand the risks.

Cloudflare cannot track visitors of my website, the only malicious thing they can do is to tamper with my DNS record. While they are almost surely an intelligence asset, that would greatly damage their reputation for negligible gain (my website is a static site with like 2 visitors including me).

Am I correct, or did I miss something? I don’t have an email address on my domain, so that’s ok.

Thanks, I fixed it. To my defense, I’m sick and my brain has been a bit fogged in the last few days.

Does this apply when I use it only for DNS? No proxy, none of their weird services, just DNS records…

I looked into existing Czech court cases and it’s a mess. People got sentenced just for sharing links, but also the Czech Pirate Party ran a regular pirate series streaming website with embeds and everything and won the case against them.

I could do it anonymously for sure, but I ask because I would like to post it to my website.

I highly doubt any judge would take that into account. You can probably get away with listing the pirate websites “so people can block them”, but I don’t think you can do that with a full step-by-step tutorial. I would be very curious about a precedent though.

I also taught my closest family members to pirate movies and shows and it has had the exact opposite effect - no more calls to help them download a movie they want to watch on a flight tomorrow :)

I think it might help many people and I can just state that I’m not providing any support. I don’t have comments on my website yet, and they will be via Mastodon anyways, where most people already know this stuff. If somebody does the work to find my email, I can just ignore them ¯\(ツ)/¯

Don’t

I kinda regret being defederated from Lemmy tankies, I’m curious how are they going to defend this.

Fair enough. As for leaving Instagram, I can assure you I would love to. But I unfortunately, I have to choose between privacy and social life. And will rather be spied on than miss out camping with my classmates just because I wasn’t in the Insta chat group where they discussed it. And you might have guessed from me being a Lemmy user that I’m not the popular guy, so nobody will stop using Instagram because of me or text me everything they plan on there on Signal. Also if you think using TikTok is somehow fucking up Meta, I can tell you that you’re the only one getting fucked.

I don’t think any of these are good. I currently have to use instagram, because all my friends use it for chats and chat groups etc. I don’t use instagram for reels, so TikTok is not an alternative for me. And from what I have read about the TikTok app, it spies on you even more than instagram. Also the modded instgram versions usually have an option to block some of Meta’s analytics, and that’s one of the reasons I want to use them.

Probably any adblocking VPN does. I use Rethink on Android, it acts as a vpn but is local so more of a firewall, I’m sure something like that exists for iOS too.

It could delete all the photos from it’s servers next day
