New #blog post: How I Watch YouTube
rldane.space/how-i-watch-youtu…
I was going to work on a Part II to my last post ("You Really Can't Go Home"), but I couldn't find quite the angle I was looking for, so I'm shelving it for now.
This is just a fun and technical / tips & tricks kinda post (with a nice dash of opining and ranting for variety 😆) for watching YouTube without ads that was prompted by an episode of @tuxjam where @kevie complained that he didn't have a solid way to watch YouTube on Linux like he did with #NewPipe on #Android.

I have a secret piped instance. And it has never let me down. Much stronger than invidious in my opinion. And you can use Yattee as a replacement for a youtube app. Works pretty well like actual youtube and even allows subscribing and stuff.
I generally don't use it anyway just because I so despise like 85% of web content that is driven by money. That said, my family likes it and I find it useful in the rare cases that my Searx instance finds a youtube video with the solution to an issue I'm having.

Yattee link, for the curious: github.com/yattee/yattee

It's a similar idea to NewPipe (which does work on Android TV), just better adapted to TVs.

I have installed it, but haven't played with it yet. If it's good, I'll add it to my #blost.
