@Friend Icare #Friendica is using external media (like youtube) directly and does not "proxify" them. For YT videos there is or was an addon for redirecting it to an #Invidious instance. Since Google started blocking such instances, there are only a few working left. My favorite is https://inv.nadeko.net . So your administrator needs configure it unless not yet done.
For the other external references, I have no idea, just block 3rd-party cookies, I guess.
@Hypolite Petovan @Hypolite Petovan Of course, yes. Here is an example of a page with a YouTube video on Diaspora: https://diaspora-fr.org/posts/cb031dc001bc013e013b52549f1e3c03 This does not generate any trackers, as a procedure is in place to block them. They are not activated unless you click on play video. But on Loma, these trackers are there, even without clicking! I even closed Firefox and reopened it to clear the memory, but the trackers were still there. And in huge numbers! Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
Bien sûr, oui. Ici un exemple de page avec vidéo youtube sur Diaspora : https://diaspora-fr.org/posts/cb031dc001bc013e013b52549f1e3c03 Cela ne génère aucun traqueur, car une procédure est en place pour les bloquer. Ils ne s'activent pas que si o,n clique sur lire la vidéo. Or sur Loma, ces traqueurs sont là, même sans cliquer ! J'avais même fermé Firefox et rouvert pour vider ce qui était en mémoire, mais les traqueurs étaient là quand même. Et vraiment en grand nombre !
Profitez des vidéos et de la musique que vous aimez, mettez en ligne des contenus originaux, et partagez-les avec vos amis, vos proches et le monde entier.
@Andy H3 In fact, on Diaspora, I think the choice made is to display the thumbnail image of the video, which is like this: https :// i.ytimg. com/vi/ID_VIDEO/mqdefault. jpg And it doesn't generate a tracker blocked by uBlock.
En fait, sur Diaspora, je pense que le choix qui est fait, c'est d'afficher la vignette de l'image de la vidéo, qui est de ce type : https :// i.ytimg. com/vi/ID_VIDEO/mqdefault. jpg Et cela ne génère pas de tracker bloqué par uBlock.
There's an issue here about possibly fetching titles and thumbnails via the youtube api instead, to get around specific instances being blocked from embedding them, as far as I understand: https://github.com/friendica/friendica/issues/14621
Is the feature request related to a problem? Please describe. YT seems to be blocking some (many) servers in the Fediverse. As a result, no preview images and titles can be displayed. YT provides a...
