Is there an automated bot to archive channels from YouTube and upload them to Peertube?

[–] Takios@discuss.tchncs.de 40 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If one does that, be prepared to defend yourself against the copyright infringement lawsuit that's coming your way eventually.

Read my comment on doing it over TOR. If you have a trusty VPS, encrypt your LVM with LUKS and use that for scratch storage.

There are repos on GitHub that pull the videos and metadata, not sure about posting to Peerhub, though if that's possible to post via an api you could probably script it easily enough. Likely a risk of other "issues" doing so, but I'm sure some datahoarders could chime in.

I'd run this on a VPS if I could do it over the TOR network (don't want to get caught with my CC on the line), but there's the problem of needless duplication if this happens, so it's likely the best if relevant authors do it themselves

I always thought Invidious was downloading the source video from YouTube in the background when given a YouTube video ID and it’s not already downloaded, but I might be wrong.

BitLaunch lets you rent a VPS with crypto currency

Same, but you can always use Trocador to convert your XMR to other coins. Alternatively there are some ways to anonymously acquire BTC.

Had never heard of it, thanks. I prefer DEXes for crypto (XMR only now)

[–] Andromxda@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's not perfect, there are some conversion fees, but it should be ok. I use it from time to time to pay for my seedbox.

[–] MigratingtoLemmy@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Whom did you buy your seedbox from?

[–] Andromxda@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago

RapidSeedbox they accept multiple crypto currencies but unfortunately no XMR, so I had to use Trocador to convert to BTC.

Not that I know of but I could create something. I would feel icky if I didn't get the creators approval first however.
