On this domain, the following services are currently available:
- * [Invidious](https://iv.sbruder.xyz)
+ * [Invidious](https://iv.sbruder.xyz) ([deprecated](#deprecation))
-They are all semi-public instances.
-That means, they are not included in lists of public instances,
-but feel free to use them for personal purposes.
+## Deprecation
-You can do so by using a browser plugin like [Privacy Redirect](https://github.com/SimonBrazell/privacy-redirect)
-and configuring the addresses to point to this server.
+Because of the increasing hostility of YouTube,
+the public availability of the Invidious service will be discontinued after **2024-09-27**.
+Registration of new accounts is disabled since **2024-08-22**.
-However, please note the following if you want to use them:
-
- * These services are provided as-is without any guarantees.
- * You must not use these services for any activities illegal under German law.
- * You must not use these services to interfere with the operation of the services
- or the sites that originally provide the data.
- * Please don’t over/abuse these services.
- They run on a tiny VPS and won’t be able to handle high workloads.
-
-Also note the following service-specific things:
-
- * **Invidious**: There are no backups, so you are responsible for using the data export feature to back up important data.
-
-The VPS providing the services is running NixOS.
-The configuration is available [here](https://git.sbruder.de/simon/nixos-config/src/branch/master/machines/renge).
-
-If you have any questions, please [contact me](https://sbruder.de).
+If you have an account,
+please export/transfer your data using the built-in functionality of Invidious.
+All accounts will be deleted within 30 days after the discontinuation.
+You may also delete your account yourself until 2024-09-27.
+Should you request your account to be retained, I might do so at my discretion.
