Well, that’s shit news

Looks like you weren’t the only person to believe the 1994 version to be the better one
A good start would be to check the website and go from there. I don’t know of a good, singular guide unfortunately—there are a couple different ways of going about torrenting on I2P.
I can confirm that torrenting on I2P works quite well! You may have to set aside a couple weeks per movie, though. Still, the torrent selection is decent, if not quite as good as what you would get on the clearnet. You’ll want to check the postman tracker (tracker2.postman.i2p) once you have everything set up.
Copious amount of ebooks or web novel downloads, as well as my lofi folder for background music. All preloaded on a boot drive with a Linux distro capable of both running on the hardware and viewing everything I brought, if I can figure out how to do that. Plus however many snacks I can sneak in.
Really cool, particularly the inbuilt sponsorblock and dislikes. Those are something I’ve been missing in my own Invidious. I’ll still stick with the original interface, but keep up the good work!
Going through Anna’s Archive also works, they usually have zlib links
Correct on all counts. I’ll try some other DNS servers later. Right now I’m using the Mullvad DNS servers, any suggestions for ones that support DNS over TLS?
Some further tests make it look like dig
is influenced by some caching stuff going on on my PC. I figured that out while playing around with a TXT record for testing purposes, and noticing that host
and dig
return different results for the same input.
Running the commands again on my phone using Termux reveals that the AAAA record is in place and functioning, but I still can’t reach the website from my browser by using the domain name.

Thanks for the answer! Unfortunately, the response from dig AAAA
is rather lackluster:

I’m starting to suspect Namecheap just hates IPv6. Their dynamic DNS service only covers v4, too
Correct! Single AAAA record pointing to the IP of my server, which I verified beforehand.
My host records consist of a single AAAA record that points to the IP address of my server, which I verified beforehand. I’ve tried dig, but I’m not sure how to interpret it’s output, which looks as follows:

The DNS issue persists. The part that my friend helped me with was determining if I configured my router firewall correctly, which I did. Currently I can reach my server from the internet only directly via its IPv6 address, with no progress on binding it to my domain name.
The firewall port on my router is open, and as far as I can tell, my server isn’t running a firewall at the moment. ICMP might be a problem; ipv6-test tells me that those are filtered out. After checking my router settings, I’ve determined that ICMP is enabled for the device in question.
Tried my mobile connection already, doesn’t have IPv6. Also tried a nearby hotspot, same issue.
After trying both, I’ve settled on Invidious. I prefer the UI, it feels more snappy than Piped. Plus, with Piped I had this problem with longer videos where it’d just stop playing somewhere in the middle. Might be fixed by now though.

I don’t use the main YouTube website at all anymore. A big reason for this is that I spend a lot of time using a really weak laptop that tends to struggle with the JavaScript-laden abomination that is modern corporate web design. Firefox itself struggles as well, so I primarily use Luakit with Invidious, which runs peachy. I also put together a local html page for my bookmarks that is generated from Yaml using a small C application (which is not optimal, I know, but I’ve been learning C and this was a good opportunity). Whenever something doesn’t work in Luakit, I evade to Palemoon. I also tried watching YouTube via mpv earlier, and it’s great! It runs infinitely better than any web player at max resolution and buffers the whole video. Never going back.
Ooh, I should try that! I already use mpv, so that’d streamline things a bit
Good question. I’d hope not
I’ve started to just download videos with yt-dlp
after grabbing links via Invidious. Using Invidious itself has become somewhat unreliable lately, and this way I don’t have to put up with buffering and can watch in good quality. Cut out the middle men
Yup. I’ve resorted to checking for new videos on Invidious and then actually watching them in MPV
