Configuring disablesleep=1 completely prevents sleep and lasts until you manually configure it back to 0.</p>

<p>The scenario described in the OP does not involve commenting on a private video. It involves commenting on any public video, then the uploader clicks on a suggested prompt in YouTube Studio which supposedly processes the comment and creates a URL with the title of a different video.</p>

<p>Not really. From my understanding, in AP, your account belongs to an instance and your data is then synced to other servers. If the instance goes down, your account is gone.<p>In ATP, your data is stored in the "Atmosphere", hosted on decentralized "Personal Data Servers" (PDS). The app then simply parses and filters that data. They can apply moderation actions by choosing not to display or read certain posts, but your data still exists and another app could choose to display it. Similarly, if the app goes down, your data is still perfectly intact in the Atmosphere.<p>It might then seem like the PDS is equivalent to an AP instance, but as mentioned, they are decentralized. Identity is verified through signatures, so if your PDS goes down, you can migrate to a new one as long as you have your signing keys. Therefore, the account belongs to you and not any specific server.</p>

<p>That would be expected for encodings or container file formats. Straight-up encryption like AES produces results that are visually indistinguishable from random data.</p>
