AFAIK they had issues with their monero node sync and it has been solved. I had a warning on kycnot.me for this, but I have now just removed it since I just tested and I was able to withdraw and exchange XMR just fine.

Also, for what I know, they had a ddos attack and their site was unresponsive (for what I also put a warning on kycnot.me the moment I became aware of the issue), seems like the attack is over, as the site was responsive when I was testing a few hours ago.

Tailscale does not offer this. It is a community project. Headscale is not official.

I’ve self-hosted my own single-user Piped instance for about a year. However, I sometimes encounter problems with video loading times, and some subscriptions don’t display new publications until I manually visit the channel. The main reason I chose Piped was because it had LibreTube for Android, allowing me to sync my subscriptions between mobile and desktop.

Recently, I’ve been testing Invidious and I’m liking it. I discovered that using it on Android as a web app is quite efficient, especially in combination with UntrackMe to automatically open YouTube links in my Invidious instance. Additionally, there’s Clipious, an Android app similar to LibreTube but with an Invidious backend. Although it’s early in its development, it performs well.

I’m still weighing my options, but I find Invidious to be more stable in terms of loading times and subscription feed updates.

There’s Clipious for Invidious on Android:

Selfhosted Piped instance. LibreTube with my instance on mobile, the piped web ui for the rest.

When you selfhost an instance, it works way better than any public one with many users.

How would a “pay to download” relay work then? I’m not sure I’m getting how this would solve the issue with Tor?

Isn’t a relay with less events (spam) also faster to sync with?

Hey, reach me at SimpleX or by Mail (check on https://kycnot.me/about#contact). I’m no longer using Session for contact. You can also reach me on XMPP if you prefer at kycnotme@conversations.im.

I’m glad you were able to solve the problem, I add the comment I made to another user with the same problem:

Didn’t know about this problem. I’ll try to add a MariaDB alternative database option soon.

Whishper uses faster-whisper in the backend.

Simply put, it is a complete UI for Faster-Whisper with extra features like transcription translation, edition, download options, etc…

Unfortunately, not yet. Whisper per se is not able to do that. Currently, there are few viable solutions for integration, and I’m looking at this one, but all current solutions I know about need GPU for this.

Whisper models have a very good WER (word error ratio) for languages like Spanish, English, French… if you use the english-only models it also improves. Check out this page on the docs:

https://whishper.net/reference/models/#languages-and-accuracy

That’s a great idea! I’ll attempt to implement that feature when I find some time to work on it.

Whisper+ had some problems, that’s why I rewrote everything. This new version should fix almost (maybe there are some bugs I haven’t found) everything.

If you take a look at the docker-compose file, you’ll see it is already using bind mounts. The only special permission needed is for the LibreTranslate models folder, which runs as non-root with user 1032.

No, it’s completely independent, it does not rely on any third-party APIs or anything else. It can function entirely offline once the models have been downloaded.

Correct me if I’m wrong but, I think Brave Ads are opt-in. I have brave installed (although I use Librewolf as my main browser) and I’ve never seen an ad, you just need to disable them from the settings. Ads are just for those who want to earn BAT (the weird crypto token) by seeing ads.

Nice suggestion, will add it later

Yeah, in fact that was the inspiration of the whole rewrite. For this I implemented the point system!

Thank you for your kind words!

Yep, I’m also behind ‘awesome-privacy’! You’re right, no info can be absolute, but that’s not what I’m aiming for. My goal is to gather information in one single place, so anyone can quickly find it and make informed choices based on their own deep dives.
