I don’t have any youtube videos to export. Do you want me to export yours?

I can give you the alternative if you tell me what you want to watch?

So you’re looking for a service that spoon feeds you non-specific videos?

Depends on the content you’re wanting to watch.

I mean, it gives you tools to export your videos out.

What are you into?

What are you into?

Why commit to them instead of finding alternative creators on a different platform?

I don’t understand why people are so afraid to ditch YouTube

And one little lapse in not paying a cell phone bill can cause you to lose your phone number, which then means you can no longer authenticate.

If they’re not actively blocking ports 80 and 443, then its pretty clear they are allowing their users to host websites (unless their terms of service specifically say don’t host websites)

Thats why I suggested an up-to-date router that isn’t end-of-life. If you keep your router firmware updated, your firewall on, and your “server” updated, then you are as protected as any VPS that has ever been deployed.

Tailscale is centralized and prevents you from accessing your devices if it goes down, which is what the OP points out. If we want some decentralization, we can configure our current equipment to do so. Its not so difficult if you spend some time reading your router’s documentation and keep everything behind it updated. NAT firewalls are pretty good at keeping bad things out.

It will totally depend on the equipment you plan on using, but in general, your router’s manual/documentation should say whether it supports Dynamic DNS, how to configure your firewall, and how to enable port forwarding.

From there, your device’s operating system should have documentation on how to perform maintenance, and the web server software you plan on using should have guides on how to get it running on your OS of choice.

For example: If you want to host some websites on your device (or just want a nice web-based control panel for your “server”), do a fresh install of Debian 12 and then install something like Virtualmin or HestiaCP. Those two include various web apps that are easy to install and run with a few clicks, like a Wordpress or something.

Reminder to everyone, if you aren’t necessarily worried about uptime too much, and have a spare device at home, you can host personal websites and various services that might be useful for yourself or friends and family. To keep it simple, all you would really need is

• an up-to-date router that isn’t end-of-life
• a firewall that geo blocks traffic from outside your country and blocks all ports except 80 and 443
• port forwarding 80 and 443 to your device
• setup dynamic dns service (some routers can handle this)
• a domain name

Keep your device and router updated and reboot it every once in a while to load the updated kernel. Then just install some web server software or whatever on your device and point your domain to it.

Together, we can decentralize the web a little bit 🙂

Depends on the admin.

Arch servers are just fine. Just be sure to pay attention to Arch News to watch for manual interventions on certain updates. If anything, the older Debian packages can cause headaches occasionally. I personally use both distros as servers for different use cases.

The *buntu LTS cycles are every two years, following along with Debian releases. The faster release cycles such as 24.10 and 25.04 lose support after 9 months, so they are short lived distros.

I personally don’t like the *buntu bloat and would just stick with KDE Debian, unless there is something specific in those you need.

The software you stated that the user will be running runs fine on Debian.

WWell, I doubt the hospital staff is just gonna take your phone away from you just because you’re 18 and start looking through it. I figured that was a given.

Maybe if they’re programmed as an emergency contact in their phone or something

Sounds like those companies are not considering the capabilities of their supply chain then.
