Global search is provided by YouTube, so I can't guarantee anything.

I could add some local filters if necessary, but doesn't YouTube already provide its own filters based on when the video was published? Cathode exposes these.

Has anyone tried to download? The download links are slightly broken (but they work if you try differently).

Shameless self-promotion: https://github.com/andunieee/cathode (gtk4 desktop app) can give you a non-bait interface to YouTube that works.

Now this project gives me some ideas of things to implement:

- pick the thumbnail from the middle of the video

- allow curated subscriptions, i.e. I subscribe to some curated list made by someone (in this case it could be the database of videos Karpathy has gathered from HN, but there could be others)

At some point I was almost implementing DeArrow support, but using it for a while I don't think it is too great, often the alternative titles people give are unreliable, and honestly I don't know how they exist without being spammed or trolled to death. I do have SponsorBlock support though (I feel like SponsorBlock would work better if it allowed high-quality AI bots to submit blocks though).

This is amazing.

I used to have many ideas in my mind for an open embeddable spreadsheets implementation, this is one of the cases I didn't have in mind, but it's pretty great and would fix LLMs outputting xls files for the most mundane tasks.

It doesn't do that currently, it only has a manual per-number blocking feature.

But it is a good idea, and I think it can be done nicely with some more special tags and rules for types of tags. I'm not sure, but I'll work on it. Thank you for the idea.

My understanding is that there are hundreds, perhaps thousands, of high impact vulnerabilities on Chrome/Safari. We don't get to hear about most of them because it would become tedious quickly.

Yes, but someone, a user with an account on Tailscale, is the manager of that network and can decide what devices can get in, etc.

For some cases that is good, but Flipflop is addressing a slightly different use case.

Of course P2P is better, my point was that it doesn't work in the browser most of the times, and your link seems to corroborate it.

Yes, Google's move to block people from installing software on their own devices is orthogonal to this. I was merely saying that some measures have massive negative effects and basically irrelevant positive effects in the grand scheme of things.

I had skin abnormalities 3 times in my life, with years between them, minor things, but they served as interesting experiments:

In all the 3 times I had no idea of what was the phenomenon, but I went to 2 different doctors for diagnosis, 3 doctors in one of the cases. Every doctor said a completely different thing. In one of the cases the doctor applied a bunch of weird allergy tests and concluded that he didn't know, but didn't confess this, instead he looked up a quick article on the internet in front of me, not realizing I was noticing, and recommended me some bogus solution.

I've implemented every of their suggested solutions and remedies, none of them ever resulted in any visible improvement and I abandoned them after a couple of weeks.

All the 3 skin abnormalities faded after a while (2 months in one case, around 6 months in another and around 1 year on the other) with no treatment.
