Maybe updating the invidious version of the Privacy Guides' invidious instance fixes the issue?

The current version of Privacy Guides' invidious instance is 2024.02.12-5c0b6d8, according to the bottom of the two invidious video embeds in the "Linux overview" Privacy Guides' "Knowledge Base".

Invidious got tagged releases back some weeks ago: https://github.com/iv-org/invidious/releases

The latest invidious release is v2.20240427.

Edit: The same issue happens with the only other invidious video embed that I found in privacyguides.org. This happens in the "Multi-Factor Authentication" section of "Technology Essentials" in the Privacy Guides' "Knowledge Base".

Maybe it would be better to just download the videos and put them in the page instead of linking to invidious. Or alternatively just have it link to the video; there’s no reason it has to play on the site itself.

Upon further investigation, it seems the first video isn’t available anymore so maybe it would be a good idea to just delete the embed.

https://www.youtube.com/@sysrich/videos You can tell me if you see the video here but I don’t think it’s there anymore.
