Youtube.com requires nonfree software (Javascript code) for normal use of the
site; after changes Google made in August 2017, nothing is visible in a typical Youtube page without running
its nonfree Javascript code.
[...]
However, it is ok to refer to the same videos on an offshoot of invidio.us; just make sure not to
choose one that is "protected" by Cloudflare, since that sends its own nonfree software. This way of
referring is probably fail-safe: it may cease to work, but it will probably not start leading people to
run nonfree software. You don't need a special "platform" to post an audio or video on the Web. You can
post an audio or video file on any web site. Just put up the WebM file and link to it as if it were an
ordinary page. All graphical browsers can handle that.
- Hard drives have direct memory access, but your internet connection doesn't. This means that when you watch a video from the internet in your browser, the CPU has to handle the data transfer, as well as encryption and decryption, leading to lower performance and increased electricity consumption, especially since all sites with videos on them use HTTPS.
- Whenever you watch a video online, the server on which it's stored, as well as all the other servers and routers involved in transferring the file to you need extra energy to perform this task.
- If you have a metered internet connection, you will obviously save a lot of bandwidth if you watch the video from the hard drive.
- Browsers are not optimised for playing videos, so you will get much better performance and energy efficiency if you use a specialised program.

Covid lockdown virtual choir - "I am Australian"
[?] (Yawuru language)
We are one, but we are many
And from all the lands on earth we come,
We share a dream and sing with one voice:
I am, you are, we are Australian.
I come from the dreaming, from the dusty red soil plains,
I am the ancient heart, a keeper of the flame,
I stood upon the rocky shore, I watched the tall ships come,
For forty thousand years I've been the first Australian.
I'm a teller of stories, I'm a singer of songs,
I am Albert Namatjira and I paint the ghostly gums,
I'm Clancy on his horse, I'm Ned Kelly on the run,
I'm the one who waltzed Matilda, I am Australian.
We are one, but we are many
And from all the lands on earth we come,
We share a dream and sing with one voice:
I am, you are, we are Australian.
I'm the hot wind from the desert, I'm the black soil of the plains,
I'm the mountains and the valleys, I'm the drought and flooding rains,
I am the rocks, I am the sky, the rivers when they run,
The spirit of this great land, I am Australian.
We are one, but we are many
And from all the lands on earth we come,
We share a dream and sing with one voice:
I am, you are, we are Australian.
I am, you are, we are Australian.
