Google should have thought of that before trying to paywall the zeitgeist.

Customizable keyboard binding is a major and widely overlooked aspect of accessibility
For example checkout this thread on mozilla forums about keybinding customization in firefox

This along with modifiable context menus and the ability to share control schemes would greatly improve most software for multiple tasks.

You are correct.
Nearly all youtube channels can be fully served off a single laptop. 260 concurrent streams at 1080p 3mbps is achievable over gigabit ethernet. Very few channels exceed this for any appreciable amount of time. And in those cases we can leverage a very small amount of the client's ressources to further propagate the stream. This can be done with repurposed bittorrent dht.
Now all we need is federated RSS and a locally running content curation algorithm and a social review system (like buttons and reputation history)

We solved this problem BEFORE youtube was even a thing.
Youtube only exists out of convenience for normies.
Youtube can die tomorrow, we will still have unlimited video.
In fact, think youtube slowed down innovation on this front.
Torrent trackers are unchanged in their form from 2003.
I wouldn't mind federated content, browser integration of torrent systems and locally running content recommendation system as well as social crowdsourced review systems (aka the like button and comments)

The main limitation is the 1 gigabit network. It can push out 260 3megabit streams or 50 15megabit streams at the most.

That's already an enormous amount of concurrent viewers that covers 99% of content on youtube.

To achieve this, you can't be wasting processing power anywhere, a straight copy to network from pre encoded files, no live transcoding.

No scripting, no encryption either. If you really need that, which you almost certainly don't, then install a recerse proxy on your openwrt router.

Now, if you want to scale, which almost no video really needs, then you'll send the client a script. The client is a source of inifinite scaling, compute and bandwidth.

Each client just needs to rebroadcast two streams of the file.

As excess clients connect, you tell them to get the stream from the stun/turn server. This punches through both sides of the nat. And puts two clients in communication. First client sends its copies of the received stream chunks, with preference from the beginning of the file. One client can get the stream from multiple other client and once it has a few stream chunks in the cache it can serve them to new clients.

It doesn't take many doublings before you have more bandwidth than the whole internet. All the logic for organisation, hash checking, stream block ordering etc etc is a small text file from the server, signed by the server's certificate. It runs entirely inside the client's browser.

There is nothing like owning your own home. Spatially separated from the next one

Sure the ecofash commieblock enthusiasts downvoted me because they would prefer us all living in austere and efficient concrete pods so we emit less carbon as they pay us subsistence wages.

And I really wish we could swap homes on a whim and really be home anywhere instead of this musical chair bullshit.

Wow no thanks, I will decide if and when I replace the roof of my house and who will do it and how. I would really fucking hate the condominium approach of making that a collective decision. That's why I want nothing other than detached homes, in the forest sepatated by 300-400 meter to the next one !

interdimensionalmeme , 17 days ago to Privacy in Nostr continues to raise the bar on private, uncensorable online discourse

Direct messages shouldn't be private. It's just a person commenting to another person rather than to a post.
It should be possible, and the default that conversations are public.

If you want privacy, use private messages

Moderation belongs client side.
Server side moderation is the original sin of sicial media.

Do you understand what we're still talking less energy than the monitor it displays on.
I would bet even untuned VGG16 could do that without even a fine tune. Advertising is starkly different to content and the output is a "ad=yes/no" signal. It's a very small amount of data, probably less than the plain hardware video decoder.
It's also not a new type of load, it runs off the same power supply as any computer, a slight capacitive load, it won't even change the grid powerfactor.

We are in the age of the toy internet, it is all about to crumple like a house of card bought on cheap credit and unviable business models.
Youtube is not long for this world and nobody will miss it.
The only question is how much of it Archive Team can save before if goes up in flames.
Well, the good parts of it, that's easy but can we save the garbage too, I'm not sure.
Take any channel on youtube and its creator can easily serve it's entire catalog out of a obsolete chromebox with two usb sticks on the side.
Even as small as a terabyte would still be mostly empty space.
Youtube was built defective by design using 1970s ideology, it is immensely wasteful.
