  • When I make a shitpost, I screenshot it instead of exporting, and I make sure to include a couple pixels of some different background color on one or two of the sides for the authentic feel. Sadly, the screenshot program auto hides the cursor, so I can only dream of such greatness.




  • I had to go hunting for channel IDs when I ditched the yt frontend for RSS. There is still proper working RSS for each channel, even though for some reason they removed the actual RSS button probably a decade ago.

    So I had to go to the channel page, inspect element, search for “rss”, and somewhere in the page source there would be the link (or I might have to refresh sometimes because it’s missing for whatever reason). One only needs the ID, as the rest of the link is the same, of course.

    As we both found out, it’s not as trivial as it once may have been, before @s.

  • I guess if you get the length with yt-dlp, and then compare with the downloaded file, and the length is within a one second tolerance, it should be fine. At least I would think the length that yt-dlp extracts would not include the baked in ad, but of course youtube could make it so.

    Btw I haven’t heard about this thing since it first came out. Is it really happening?
