I wrote a bash script to check for updates to channels I like. It runs nighly via cron. If there is a new video it automatically downloads it using yt-dlp to my Jellyfin library. There is a yt-dlp flag that incorporates sponsor block. Since I download videos overnight large channels have already been included by sponsor block. So I get videos completely ad and sponsor free.

Everything is done behind a VPN. This approach allows me to completely bypass using a browser further protecting me from tracking.

When I wake up in the morning I have all the new videos from my favorite channels ad and sponsor free. I can watch from my computer, phone, or TV. If I’m away from my home network I use Tailscale to stream to my location.

The only downside I experience is not getting to watch the video until the day after upload.

Do you mean Lion’s Mane?

Does anyone know a VPN that allows port forwarding that also is truly anonymous? I’m looking for something like Mullvad that does not require email and accepts monero.

I’m also open to recommendations for a seedbox that accepts monero.

I had one and only put gas in it when taking a trip out of town. On a road trip I would get about 38mpg. Not great for what is was but better than anything else I owned before. I had that car for 5 years and 120,000 miles.

The fact that I used 0 gas for my daily use brought the cars lifetime mpg to 163mpg!

Also, I learned the hard way that gas can go bad fairly quickly.
