hooray! thank you tim!

Salient point. Dont get me wrong, I use FF reader mode all day long and I sing its praises to all who will listen. But I am using this to access content over Tor when cloudflare would otherwise prevent me from doing so.

I would not recommend for anyone to feed all their browsing to a third party in a way that can easily be tied back to them, but I am using this tool to overcome a specific obstacle when I encounter it and not otherwise.

Maybe I should have described this scenario more completely at the start of my post 🤷

My use case is to access text and link content on a web page anonymously over Tor without getting blocked by Cloudflare.

I downloaded Audacity on a friends Windows PC yesterday, and it allowed me to export MP3 without asking for any other steps!

From Audacity’s website:

FAQ:Installing the LAME MP3 Encoder

The software patent on LAME encoding library has expired, so now the LAME library for MP3 export is built-in with Audacity for Windows and Mac. Linux users will still need to download and install the free and recommended LAME third-party encoder to export MP3 files from Audacity.

Linux users should use the following instructions to download and install the free and recommended LAME third-party encoder to export MP3 files with Audacity.

Windows: LAME is now built-in with Audacity for Windows.

Mac: LAME is now built-in with Audacity for Mac.

Linux/Unix: See the LAME installation section on Installing and updating Audacity on Linux.

I tried it before finding imgsed but each instance had issues loading images past the first page of a user’s profile. But I will check back occasionally

lists of other alternative front-end services or projects that i (also) have not vetted:

“A web extension that redirects YouTube, Twitter, Instagram… requests to alternative privacy friendly frontends and backends.” https://libredirect.github.io/ - the list they use. https://github.com/libredirect/libredirect - extension (source)

list of some instances https://farside.link/ - (source)

a list of projects, with some other stuff on it too https://www.funkyspacemonkey.com/foss-front-ends-and-alternatives-for-twitter-instagram-reddit-youtube-and-more

thanks, this is great!

others mentioned… https://www.beeper.com/ https://www.picuki.com/

I have not tried these myself though.

great post, thank you

thanks for posting this, great read

Maybe google downranks db0 instance like it does other pirate sites?

also check out https://www.allsides.com/, which has a somewhat similar concept

Another longtime JD user here, I’d love to hear what your reasons are for each of these!

Thanks! Excited to check these out

Hi JB, I went down this rabbit hole last week, here is a post I made summarizing what I found, with links to the dev’s GH discussions of the different ideas for implementing the linking of communities, both within an instance or across instances, public or private, mod or user created. These features would likely be implemented separately.

There is also a link to a firefox extension that you may find useful while the dev work is ongoing.

See https://lemmy.ml/post/1615183

Thanks for explaining, I like that approach too

P.S. in the meantime, a user has created a FireFox addon that might be useful, I have not checked it out myself.

I think part 2 begins after the list of patents, with the header “Fountain Carbonation Equipment”.

Oh I am not the author, this was written in 2002 (the page notes the actual author) and has been remixed by others a few times but this version has so much information in it, as @mb_ says, it is really comprehensive.

Thanks for reading, glad you enjoyed it!
