http://www.insecam.org/ is another fun one. Random unsecured security cameras from around the world.

This site has the cookie permissions dialog which has "reject all", but I think this rejects only the "opt-in" cookies. The "legitimate interest" cookies, which are equally comprehensive but are on a different tab, are not rejected by this, and to reject them you have to turn each one of them off by hand, scrolling down a massive list. If you select "reject all", the dialog instantly closes, I think with the legitima…

I think usually the standard wording for this option would be something like "Reject all non-essential cookies" and they left out the second part of that sentence. I'm not saying it's OK but maybe it's a mistake that was done in good faith.

I love astronaut.io! Open it in an incognito window so that your YouTube watch history doesn't get too crazy.

I watched a few videos then opened YouTube in another tab and checked my watch history. It doesn't show the videos from this site. I think in general it doesn't track embeds from other sites.

It's no different of inadvertently watching your neighbor naked through her window because you happened to look at the wrong time. You know it's wrong but you won't look elsewhere...

It’s more like you’re continually checking hundreds of windows, just in case it happens…

We don't need centralization for this. Federated protocols like mastodon have friendlier APIs than some of the most popular walled gardens of today...

Mastodon is a walled garden

iiuc your argument, it would be more accurate to phrase it as: mastodon, lemmy, and other federated social protocols are like archipelagos of small islands.

Or, you were referring to bluesky.

This doesn't seem to be the case at all. First two videos it showed me had double digit views. Third one had over a thousand.

There were a bunch of subreddits based on obscure videos with default filenames. https://old.reddit.com/r/IMGXXXX/

And before that it was a neat trick to find obscure images in your favorite search engine. "Index of" is/was also a good keyword to get at file listings.

Better would be to stop using Youtube's algorithm for discovery - then your watch history is irrelevant.
