You know what. Props. In all The Discourse why did I never hear / think of that. It IS cyberpunk af.

Cory doesn’t miss

I played at release and you had to do cop shit all the time. Not very punk at all. Had that changed?

Please educated one tell us how many schools do the weapon manufacturers that get these checks build?

Hell yeah. Awesome piece.

Keep your eye on the prize. Google and Mozilla aren’t even in the same area code of shit. Firefox is the obvious answer.

Napster

The shared secret with my Vaultwarden server? Add mfa and someone needs to explain to me how passkeys do anything more than saving one single solitary click.

I think you are underestimating the ability of the generative ai tools to build to a consistent style and theme. Sure it’s a problem now but not an insurmountable one by todays measures, so I’m assuming Adobe will have it sorted in a few years too

Literally just use a password manager and 2/MFA. It’s not a problem. We have a solution.

Might try again. It’s come leaps and bounds in the past few years. I’ve been Linux only for the past few years after dual booting for many and the one thing I miss is game pass. Every game I’ve tried on steam or gog works — often better than on windows.

Wus growing obsession with woowoo bs health science is depressing and seems like a trauma response to Covid (or a grifter one).

What do you think obscuring means?

Literally illegal

Not a boat! Not a family vacation! Gasp! An… RV!?!?? SOMEONE THINK OF THE RIGHTSHOLDERS!

404 don’t miss. Best tech journoing in the biz imho

Tech bro knob slobber.

Yeah this is more elegant and closer to what I’d actually want to implement. I was more just showing what could be done in literally thirty seconds on the can with ChatGPT.

“Give me a Python script using yt-dlp that I can run on a cronjob that will download the videos from any of my subscribed channels since the last time the script was run”

You can use the following Python script to download videos from your subscribed channels since the last run. This script uses yt-dlp and stores the last download timestamp to track new videos.

First, ensure you have yt-dlp installed:

pip install yt-dlp

Then, create a script called download_videos.py:

import os
import json
import subprocess
from datetime import datetime

# Configuration
last_run_file = 'last_run.json'
download_directory = 'downloads'

# Ensure the download directory exists
os.makedirs(download_directory, exist_ok=True)

# Load the last run time
if os.path.exists(last_run_file):
    with open(last_run_file, 'r') as f:
        last_run = json.load(f)['last_run']
else:
    last_run = datetime.now().isoformat()

# Update the last run time to now
current_run = datetime.now().isoformat()

# Command to get videos from subscribed channels since the last run
command = [
    'yt-dlp',
    '--download-archive', 'archive.txt',
    '--output', f'{download_directory}/%(title)s.%(ext)s',
    '--date-after', last_run,
    '--no-post-overwrites',
    '--merge-output-format', 'mp4',
    'https://www.youtube.com/channel/CHANNEL_ID',  # Replace with your channel URL
]

# Run the command
subprocess.run(command)

# Save the current run time
with open(last_run_file, 'w') as f:
    json.dump({'last_run': current_run}, f)

print("Download complete. Next run will check for videos since:", current_run)

Setting Up the Cron Job

1. Make the script executable:

   chmod +x download_videos.py
   

2. Open your crontab:

   crontab -e
   

3. Add a line to run the script at your desired interval (e.g., daily at 2 AM):

   0 2 * * * /path/to/python /path/to/download_videos.py
   

Notes

• Replace CHANNEL_ID in the script with your actual channel IDs or use a playlist URL if preferred.
• The archive.txt file keeps track of already downloaded videos to avoid duplicates.
• Adjust the paths to Python and your script as needed.
