Sometimes....

  • 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 replace CHANNEL_ID with the actual channel ID. You can find the channel ID in the URL of the channel's page..

    https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=CHANNEL_ID

    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..

    macro d set browser "yt-dlp %u"; open-in-browser ; set browser "xdg-open %u"

    This binds the d key to use yt-dlp to download videos.

  • 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....

  • Fair point....

  • That would be so funny 😂

  • While I'd personally never install or use this, it good to know its there for the extremely small percentage of people who'll want or need it....

  • Yea that's totally true. Its just not a design I like all that much....

  • This design sucks so much that I switched to fennec over on f-droid....

  • [ F U C K R E D D I T ]

    It ain't the same, and probably never will be....

  • I never said anything about "tiptoeing around", but what you said here is correct....

  • Any distro will "just work" if used correctly....

  • Isn't possible to view private instagram accounts, you'll need to add them as a friend to view their content. 100% of blog post's & website's you'll find on this topic, are SCAMS....

  • One other possibility is that it's an impossible request so the genie's refunded the wish. I actually read your initial comment wrong though....

  • This is the dream....

  • There is multiple ways to interpret the joke. One possible way is that the genie likes the wish so much that he gives him the wish for free....

  • I personally don't buy many games anymore. Most of the games that I play are either half-life mods, TF2C , older valve games like DMC & DODS, or the original Quake & Doom games....

  • I honestly don't care about dethroning windows or anything related to it. All that matters to me is that my Linux system works the way I need it to....

  • I absolutely love how minimalist this looks....

  • Computer is connected to the router via ethernet. The connection to the router is I believe fiber optics....

  • Doesn't have to be every week. Could be every other week or at least once a month. I haven't used Windows since 2002, but personally, I update once a week, and it never takes all that long, maybe 2-3 minutes tops. But I understand that it's not for everyone....
