Well, on iOS to have an app-like experience you either connect to your PC every week to re-sign the app, pay ~$15/yr to sideload without a PC or pay $6/yr to get Turkish YouTube Premium, which also gives you YouTube Music Premium and you can use on all platform. Sounds clearly like an exploit to me.

Okay, FUPS might not work anymore. Check this page for other methods (I do realize the sub name sounds shady) https://old.reddit.com/r/make_money_online_vip/comments/14f6eim/how_to_get_turkish_vcc_detailed_guide_cheap/?rdt=38250

I can share with you a method to buy for Turkey.

1. Make an account on the „FUPS” app. You will need a Turkish SIM to verify - 5sim.net is a very cheap option
2. Buy a FUPS card from some online reseller. I’ve used this https://plati.io/itm/fups-card-turkish-card-for-psn-xbox-spotify/3565417
3. Scan the card’s QR code in the FUPS app. You now can use the card to spend money from your FUPS account
4. Use Revolut to convert money to Turkish liras, and use the „Card recipient” transfer option to add money to that account with basically 0 fees.

Now to buy a family subscription, I personally used an android virtual machine, on which, while connected to a Turkish VPN, I made a new account on a random Turkish address. Then just bought the sub in the YouTube app.

Afterwards, you can invite others to your family. But, they won’t be able to just join, they need to go to pay.google.com -> Settings -> Close payments profile

Then they need to add a CC to their account (doesn’t have to be Turkish), but make sure that they put a random Turkish billing address to that card. Wait ~10 minutes, and they can join the family, and after they’re in, they can re-do the google pay stuff to get it back to normal. Won’t kick them out.

Well, normal YT premium is $14/mo, so $0.50 is practically piracy.

Everything is fine for me.

There definitely is a way with jailbreaking, as I’m sure there are tweaks for youtube on the repos. But that requires an exploit.

With no jailbreak - you can sideload this: https://github.com/qnblackcat/uYouPlus

Turkey also works. $0.50/mo with family, no KYC required.

You don’t need your registrar to have anything in regards to SSL, you can do it all yourself

That’s exactly the reason I would think it would be immoral

Oh also, you’ll probably have issues topping up on 5sim.net. Only crypto seems to work for me.

My source is https://old.reddit.com/r/make_money_online_vip/comments/14f6eim/how_to_get_turkish_vcc_detailed_guide_cheap (that sub name sounds very suspicious but it does work)

Note that the Revolut part might not work with American Revolut accounts. Read the comments.

Turkish Family - 0.54$/person/mo
Turkish Student - 0.72$/person/mo
Turkish Individual - 1.08$/person/mo
US Family - 4.59$/person/mo
US Student - 7.99$/person/mo
US Individual - 13.99$/person/mo

Method is:

1. Make an account in the FUPS app - use something like 5sim.net to get a phone number
2. Go online and buy a FUPS card from some kinda reseller. You can add it to the app with just a qr code, the app has no KYC (with some limits I think like $500/mo)
3. Get a Revolut account, convert your money to Liras on Revolut and withdraw to that CC

I wonder if people would consider purchasing YouTube Premium with Turkish Liras ethical. For example - alt account buys YouTube Premium (around 59.99 TRY - 2.16 USD) and can add 4 more people to the family, so each person pays only about 54 cents per month.

They are, but PWAs are slightly less

I’d rather use a PWA that uses my firefox install than use an electron app which bundles chromium. And PWAs are standard, and can work on mobile too…

That sucks, it’s be good if you could disable DHCP overall and do it on the PiHole.

Use EndeavourOS

they need to guess a username i assume

My hostnames on NixOS refer to close ones :)

I use AirVPN

they do

Xonotic

Thanks ended up doing a wildcard dns entry but not with Nginx Proxy Manager but with Caddy. On NixOS I can just add like 3 lines of code to declare a reverse proxy for a specific service in the same file where I enable same service.

I’m currently torn between Homarr and Homepage. I do have other arr apps, but homepage still seems to have more services supported…

Unfortunately I specifically opted out of any sync, because I want everything in my NixOS config also on mobile I use a different browser

Wow, that looks good! Thanks!

I might do both for easier finding of the URL, but still being able to remember it and access the apps by a URL if I ever need it

I’ll probably do the first thing, since the server is running AdGuard Home already.

Why is your profile picture the hyprland logo lmao

I ended up hosting the scraper service on my home server and exposing it through Cloudflare Tunnels, as the service is pretty much just an API that doesn’t really do much data downloads

I have a better solution for the problem now. NixOS

Nah, it’s not much. Maybe 10 pages a day.

I’m honestly planning to stop using the Pi today, it’s been unstable and I don’t like Raspbian, but I decided it’s not worth it to reinstall after getting 3 corrupted SD cards and just bought a used thin client which will replace it.

The downloader talks to the scraper through HTTP, which I can publish through CF Tunnels, so it’s perfect.

That seems overcomplicated for me honestly, but now I just thought that I actually can host the scraper on the home server, as the scraper itself only scrapes simple data, and the downloads are by a separate program.

The scraping program saves large files which I don’t have space for on the tiny raspi

Thanks, sounds like Squid will be perfect. I’ll just need to figure out some way to connect. I wish I could just open a port, but it hasn’t been working since I enabled IPv6 on my router. Do you think I could make it accessible through cloudflare tunnels?

yeah what i mean is on nixos you make 1 config for them all and you’d just change the key in 1 spot

all I know is that on NixOS you can declare the authorized keys for each user in the config
