Right now my website is mostly structured around a card style UI for listing posts. That works well for blog posts with featured images and decent for notes. But likes and bookmarks look oversized.
#
[aciccarello]
I want to figure out a good mix of list and card
#
[aciccarello]
Oh and my cards are usually in a 2 column layout, complicating things visually.

Hi folks! Happy this exists and happy to be here. I've been making websites since the 90s and am heartened to see people emphasizing independence on the web.

Okay, I updated my recipes page to list them by when the recipe was last used https://www.ciccarello.me/recipes/
#

I only put in the last week of meals and I need to automate the process of posting. But it feels more useful to me.

I like this feature that asks if I want to load youtube.com to watch a video on https://blog.adafruit.com/2025/05/08/high-tariffs-become-real-with-our-first-36k-bill/

it's an option you can check when you get the embed code for a video! https://media.aaronpk.com/2025/05/09132156-1224.png

can someone add that to the "How to" section on /YouTube ? Like in the "How to embed" subsection (create it if it doesn't exist)

capjamesg oh, hello, i implemented that click-to-load-the-youtube implementation for the adafruit blog. i keep need to update it to match the nicer version we have on our shop.
#
[schmarty]
it detects your browser privacy setting (GPC) _or_ if cloudflare thinks you're in an EU Economic Area country and, if so, requires that click-through.
#
[schmarty]
(the nicer version serves up the video title and thumbnail using our own cache of those images)

Thank you!!!
#
[schmarty]
thank you for sharing it here! 😊

it was a happy overlap of performance, privacy, and compliance, haha. saves us from adding a cookie banner, saves folks a huge download (and CPU load!) per video that they may not click, and prevents youtube/google from snooping on them. sometimes we can have nice things.

That checkbox on the YouTube embed screen swaps out the video domain from `youtube.com` to `youtube-nocookie.com`
#
gRegor
But otherwise I'm not sure it halts the loading of the YT resources, click-to-load is usually something extra like what [schmarty] did
#
[schmarty]
gRegor++ good clarification!

nocookie probably worth it for this part though "prevents the use of views of embedded YouTube content from influencing the viewer’s browsing experience on YouTube"
#
[tantek]
hmm, that documentation is a little hard to follow, or rather, it doesn't show a full code example of the -nocookie variant which would make it easier to copy/paste or write code to generate
#
[tantek]
for a "How to embed with enhanced privacy" I'd expect a step-by-step of something like, starting with this YouTube(.com) URL that you watched, here is the "<iframe ... " code to embed it with privacy enhanced mode. And then move the citations of YouTube's own docs to an "Additional Reading" supplementals subsection afterwards. The screenshot of code also doesn't show the privacy enhanced code, it shows the before but not the after
#
[tantek]
if someone who has successfully used youtube-nocookie could help with that, I'm happy to update CASSIS to use that domain by default for youtube embeds
#
gRegor
I always click Share > Embed > check the "Enable privacy-enhanced mode", then copy the HTML snippet
#
gRegor
Just noticed that circle "i" next to it in their UI does nothing on click, hah

I'm hoping to skip using YouTube UI completely and automate conversion of URL -> embed I publish while minimizing cookie-risk to my readers
#
[tantek]
because I typically paste in the YouTube link myself in my notes, and allow my auto-linker/embedder to write the actual HTML snipped, with unnecessary bits ripped out (every silo copy / paste snippet I've seen has more code than necessary)
