If you host your own private instance, it's less likely to get blocked. But quite a few public instance are having trouble right now.
Grayjay is source-available, but not free & open-source software.
Downloading YouTube videos works, but it's probably not the desired workflow for most people. It takes up storage space on your disk, and you have to wait for the video to download, before you can watch it. I like Tube Archivist, and use it myself for archiving videos, but I wouldn't consider it a great solution for just watching videos. I think LibreTube, FreeTube or a self-hosted Invidious instance are better solutions here.

You can easily deploy Invidious on that Mac as well. Just use Docker, Invidious has pretty good documentation for that: https://docs.invidious.io/installation/#docker-compose-method-production
I used to host Invidious like that on a Mac for almost a year, it worked flawlessly

You can also host your own instance at home on a small server or a VPS. You can optionally put it behind a VPN using Gluetun.

I agree, but most Invidious instances are currently broken, Grayjay isn't really FOSS and youtube-dl/yt-dlp aren't really great for watching videos, they're better for archiving them.

Except the ads on porn sites are easier to block than YouTube's intrusive garbage. A simple DNS filter should be enough for most porn ads, whereas YouTube requires more complex blocking techniques.

This was actually meant as a suggestion for you, since you mentioned that you want to put all of your stuff, including the seedbox, onto one single cloud server (hosted by a provider that allows this), so I recommended to just get a cheap dedicated server from an actual seedbox provider.

Currently, yes. But they are working on they're own notification systems (probably something based on WebSocket, similar to what Signal does), hopefully it will also be compatible with UnifiedPush.

Probably won't be that useful for me, since I use Linux most of the time, but I'm thinking about new Linux users. If they could already start using all the KDE applications on Windows, the learning curve after switching to Linux would be much lower. I've also seen other KDE apps for Windows and macOS before, but had no idea this would also work with Dolphin.

I will eventually move to a VPS provider who doesn't mind public torrents
There aren't many providers where this is the case, that's why I'm looking into getting a cheap dedicated server from an actual seedbox provider. Some have them, e.g. RapidSeedbox and seedhost.eu. RapidSeedbox dedicated servers are really expensive though.

The notifications themselves are still end-to-end encrypted though (from the Proton Mail notification server to the client on your phone), so Google, Apple or any other push notification provider can't read them.

Hey guys, I created this community to promote and talk about the UnifiedPush project. It aims to create a free and open source alternative to Google's proprietary Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM). Quite a few apps have already adopted the UP protocol, but there are still many FOSS apps lacking support for it. I will post GitHub issue threads where UP integration in FOSS apps is being discussed. I will also post about new apps that gained UnifiedPush support, and other useful tools that help with using UP. If you want to stay up-to-date about ongoing developments in the Android FOSS ecosystem in regards to push notifications, consider subscribing to !unifiedpush@lemmy.dbzer0.com I also recommend following the [official Mastodon account](https://fosstodon.org/@unifiedpush), joining the [Matrix room](https://matrix.to/#/#unifiedpush:matrix.org) and [donating to support development](https://liberapay.com/S1m/)!
