Youtube-dl Github Repo Taken Down

We can go up to 10000/10000. However, I have to change ISP then.

I’m happy with my 50 Mbps here (maximum possible: 100 Mbps).
Well, not quite.

Pi-hole is good. You need to have a browser blocker as well. It is not possible to stop everything with DNS. The most difficult thing is to block advertising on YT and similar things. Pi-hole protects the entire network.

I am blocking DNS with my router.

A good block list is https://dbl.oisd.nl/

It blocks a lot!

You don’t need one. I run it on x86. There is an AUR package for it.

That being said, it isn’t a replacement for in-browser ad-blocker. A properly configured ublock origin will block materially more and better than any DNS blacklist.

Where the pi-hole shines is blocking for the rest of your devices/applications in the network which are not web browsers.

True, it does wonders for ads in game on the mobile, and on the ā€œsmartā€ TV.

True.

CanvasBlocker, Decentraleyes, NoScript, UBlock, HTTPS Everywhere, Cookie Autodelete, Multi Account Containers, etc … combined with common sense privacy focussed browsing habits.

This is now abandonware, still works, but development has ceased.

The author is now solely working on uBlock instead, citing functional overlap as the reason.

Cheap!

Edit:

We have cheap internet in Sweden. I pay 11.19 USD for 1000Mbit/s. Up/down!

That is cheap! I would already be doing 1500 megabit if I had those prices. :smile:

Here in India, the equivalent of 11USD would give you max 100Mbit/s, that too with a monthly 3.3TB data limit.
My dad is paying 5.5USD for a 30Mbit/s connection, 3.3TB monthly data limit.

Also, the way I see it, prices are set to rise here. This has happened in the past few years, where companies have offered cheap plans to knock out competitors, and when there are only 1-2 players left, the prices rise. (Fibre to home is still a growing sector in India.)

We have no data limit on ours. On mobile internet we can have. 3.3TB is quite a lot anyway. I’m probably around there per month with my use.

A new version, 2020.11.01-1, as per https://yt-dl.org/download.html.

It looks like it is hosted on gitlab now, but when I try and access it I am prompted for a gitlab login. It must not be a public gitlab project yet, which causes download failure. Grrrr.

Working now …

$ ./youtube-dl --version
2020.11.01.1

Picked a particular youtube vid that failed with 2020.09.20 and it now works with 2020.11.01.1.

The update function now pulls from its new home too …

$ ./youtube-dl -U
youtube-dl is up-to-date (2020.11.01.1)

Happy days.

It’s not that sense of humour declined. A lot of jokes are not allowed nowadays because of allmighty ā€œpolitical correctnessā€. I’m a defender of using language in an appropriate and in a, as far as possible, accurate and precise way. But what is going on nowadays is simply a joke itself. They buried humour, satire, comedy and everything close to being funny. Most of the people deciding what is political correct or not are not able to use their language in an educated way.
This is me. A german guy complaining about a lack of humour. That is what is funny.
How far have we come?

If we’re going to do that, at least let’s do it with style! :sunglasses:

Oh, Leningrad Cowboys! I saw them live some 20 years ago, featuring a full symphony orchestra and a choir. :metal:

They did a charity :ice_hockey: game with a german punk band (die Toten Hosen, which means something like erectile dysfunction, literally the dead trousers) ages ago. :joy:

A user on twitter encoded the source code as images, which can be easily shared. I was able to get back the source code from the pictures.
