YouTube is bringing its ad blocker fight to mobile. In an update on Monday, YouTube writes that users accessing videos through a third-party ad blocking app may encounter buffering issues or see an error message that reads, “The following content is not available on this app.”

Yea, noticed that last week. Is already fixed again in latest revanced.

• Delete microG, revanced manager, and YouTube revanced

• Download and install the new gmscore, which replaces microG: https://github.com/ReVanced/GmsCore/releases/tag/v0.3.1.4.240913

• Download and install latest version of Revanced Manager: https://github.com/ReVanced/revanced-manager/releases/tag/v1.20.1

• Download and install YouTube 19.09.37 from APKmirror: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/youtube/youtube-19-09-37-release/youtube-19-09-37-android-apk-download/

There should be, that’s just how fiber works. If they lay a 10 Gb line in the street, they’ll probably sell a 1 Gb connection to a 100 households. (Margins depend per provider and location)

If they give you an uncapped connection to the entire wire, you’ll DoS the rest of the neighborhood

That’s why people are complaining “I bought 1Gb internet, but I’m only getting 100Mb!” - They oversold bandwidth in a busy area. 1Gb would probably be the max speed if everyone else was idle. If they gave everyone uncapped connections the problem would get even worse

I don’t know if there’s a “definitive guide” - it’s not that complicated to get a torrent client up and running. What kind of content are you looking for? Movies, Series, Music, Games, Books…?

Best is probably to try to get access to a decent private tracker, and an “easy” one - one with a bonus point system for seeding and uptime - that makes it much easier to keep a good ratio with a NAS, if you’re just permanently seeding everything you download, you’ll get points and “rise the ranks” of that tracker.

Once you’re a high enough rank on that tracker, you’ll get access to their “Invite Forums” where other private trackers advertise and give out invites to their trackers

What software/OS are you running on your NAS? If you’re running some goofy software on a private tracker your client might not be whitelisted.

Besides that - this NAS is attached to your home network I assume? Is it behind a router? Are the ports you’re using for torrenting port-forwarded?

What tracker are you testing this on? A bunch of trackers will have a “Connectivity check” that will tell you whether or not your client is connectable

Personally I don’t have any problems with it (if that was directed at me) - I’ve added 418 as “unhandled exception code” response to a bunch of applications, so I can easily differentiate whether my application is throwing an error, or whether it’s some middleware gateway AWS io-thing

I was just curious what OP thought about it, since in the early days it wasn’t uncommon to add goofs or easter-eggs into software, but nowadays not done so much… and apparently the “HTTP Working Group” doesn’t like it either… So I was curious whether OP though in hindsight whether it should’ve been added or not

Do you regret adding it, or with the knowledge you have today, would you still add the 418?

Since a bunch of languages have not implemented it, or/and has long discussions about it:
