From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
Rules
- Posts must be relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel. GNU/Linux or otherwise.

How good is invidious? At the moment I’m pulling all of my videos in with TubeArchivist and that’s been hit or miss with getting blocked by YouTube. I also don’t watch my videos fast enough so they get backed up.
It has been absolutely fantastic for me on the iPhone. Using Yattee and my own instance is the perfect combo. I’ve never had any major issues. Things work no problem. On Android, I just use revanced and the smartube next on the tv.
The experience, at least in my case, has been the same. Invidious is very hit or miss due to YouTube’s methods of blocking connections, one day my instance will be working perfectly fine and the next will drop some obscure error. While my instance is technically public, it is only exposed to 1 country and even then hardly gets any hits off of my reverse proxy.
Thankfully they tend to update pretty frequently when YouTube starts acting up on a large scale.
