heads up i am probably not gonna be able to donate by the end of the year like i said.

work screwed me over and underscheduled me so i only got about half my paycheck the past few months, then got (recently) very sick and had to spend a lot on medication.

i may be able to do half before […]

Some projects to hopefully look out for:

* NEPTube (multi-platform native video streaming app, similar to grayjay. No, it's not a clone. I've had the idea for that long.)
* NEPChat (a similar app but for discord and other chat platforms)
* mutat.io (probably will rename. AIO conversion.)
* […]

It's official, everything's shut down and wiped now. I've written some instructions on data retrieval if needed, you can find them on the old frontends page. Any URL should redirect (at least nyc-1, I'll set up redirects tomorrow.)

I'm left feeling mixed about everything, after hosting all this […]

POL-1's server hoster randomly decided to not let me pay. For some reason it's only letting me do crypto or EU bank transfers, gonna try and work this out with them but for right now the server is suspended.

The drive on the NYC-1 is unfortunately nearly dead. Gonna be transferring over the data to a new drive but this may take some time due to the poor performance of it. Please use CAL-1 or POL-1 in the meantime.

Since the poll ended with people saying they have JS enabled, Anubis has been implemented on NYC-1 Invidious and will soon be implemented on other servers. So far it seems stable but please lmk if you encounter any problems.

Bridgy Fed couldn't bridge my last ~~tweet~~ post to Bluesky (probably cause it had a poll) so I'm just gonna post a direct link to it:

I'm officially admitting defeat. My invidious instance will not be functional for some time.

Details here: https://nyc1.iv.ggtyler.dev/sorry.html

I'm happy to announce that Invidious is *finally* back up running, including on the main server, NYC-1.

We're running with an experimental private bypass (used in some other instances, like yewtu.be's or nadeko's,) so please let us know about any problems (that are not already in Invidious' […]

Recent YouTube updates have broke nsig once again.

We'll be applying similar patches to nadeko's and yewtu.be's instances shortly to hopefully workaround this. In the meantime, please use those instances instead as they are currently the only functional servers.

Sighelper (and by extension Invidious and Poke) is now working again - thank you to lifo9 on GitHub for a patch, and rockerBOO for the docker container.

Recent YT updates seem to have broken sighelper, leading to Invidious not launching over *all* instances. 502 errors are to be expected.

(This also affects Poke, since it uses Invidious for video playback.)

As per the community vote, we have now shut down our Cobalt instance. Thank you to everyone that's used it over the past year or so.

CAL-1 is currently not working. The server is unresponsive and I can't SSH (most likely just OOM.)

Normally I would just go into the console and reboot, but the console is, well...
