I thought YouTube didn’t do RSS any more, but Brad left a comment with details. They are untested.

Abandoned
- YouTube removed official RSS access.

2017-08-02 — Exporting through the WordPress panel is not reliable and is broken for large blogs.
- I use PhpMyAdmin and dump the entire table as an SQL file.

2015-12-10 — My concerns are no longer valid.
- It’s easy enough to FTP-download the images, and re-upload them to a new place.
- Exporting and importing the “WordPress eXtended RSS” (WXR) file is trivial.
- A simple XML file is small enough that there should be no file size concerns.
While there are export and import features in /wp-admin/export.php, I did some thinking and research to learn that there some issues with the functionality.
- Importing a large database is non-trivial
- There is no file/image backup-and-restore

Tor can be thought of like a secure proxy.
I experimented with it during my research on Replacing Firefox.
UPDATE: Tor has been subverted for some time. I know when and how, with confirmation, but not by whom.
It must not be used for high-level security requirements (governmental, military, international) and probably even mid-level requirements (corporate, police). Little people using it as a proxy are fine.
Don’t do anything illegal with it if you’re within three degrees of a Bad Guy. So.. don’t use it for anything illegal. Remember that PRISM records everything, so that, once flagged, you can be found retroactively guilty (even by association) for past internet usage.
