So is it YouTube family or YouTube household?

Either way, probably need to setup site to site VPN and route YouTube traffic through a central location, if you can block geolocation.

Yeah, long term goal is a self reliant total internet experience. I figure at best, I’ll still have to rely on a handful of more trustworthy companies to do some things like search.

Already am, but it still pulls results from the companies I want to separate myself from. I’d rather see what it takes/how well it performs to have my own indexer.

Looks like for the hardware requirements for self hosting some of the open source options, I’ll be saving up quite a bit for SSDs.
