I love YouTube, but the site often annoys me in many ways. On my computer I use newsboat
along with yt-dlp
to download all the videos I want to watch offline. This way, I can watch content without dealing with any of the site’s frustrations…

I hadn’t logged into my Twitter account in over a year. When I finally did recently, I simply shared a link to my Mastodon account. A few days later, I went to check a Twitter link, only to find my account had been banned…

Team Fortress 2 with either Deathmatch Classic or Ricochet…
Thank you for pointing out this app 🙏👍
Never tried bandcamp, but will have to try it out soon…
I try to buy all my music directly from the artist in CD form whenever possible. Whenever that’s not possible, I try to get a version that I can save locally & play offline…
Fuck em…
Just buy music directly from the artist whenever possible…
You should totally go ahead and do it. It will be totally worth it…
I never even realised that. Thanks for mentioning it…
Haha, when I first moved into the house I’m living in now, my wife was never done tripping over my cable. I’d yet to mount it to the wall at that point…
Yea WiFi is definitely great for certain things, but not everything. My wife has friends over at the house from time to time, and some of them ask why I’d rather run a cable from the router to my computer instead of just using WiFi. It’s easy enough to explain, but because they are not all that technical, it’s hard for them to understand, I guess…
Let’s hope it never has to come to that…
I personally like ethernet because it’s so reliable & I’ve never had any problems. In my house WiFi can be so unreliable, whereas ethernet has been nothing but awesome…
Forgot to mention that
mpv
is how I actually watch the videos. Newsboat downloads a list from each channel kinda like an RSS feed. I can then select any video & download it by pressing a keybinding. It’s been a while since I last had to actually set this up, but off memory, here’s some quick info…The file
~/.newsboat/urls
contains URLs similar to the one below. Just replaceCHANNEL_ID
with the actual channel ID. You can find the channel ID in the URL of the channel’s page…With the URLs in place you can edit your newsboat config file to set up a key binding for downloading videos using
yt-dlp
. It should be as simple as adding something like the following to the config…This binds the
d
key to useyt-dlp
to download videos.
