yt-dlp works fine for me. make sure you've updated. they now list the js that is used for solving for youtube downloads as an external dependency, so you might need to install that too. look at yt-dlp github, look for yt-dlp-es

i've been running octoprint for a long time, but i'd love to try klipper just to experiment because i hear such glowing things about it.

the main thing that stops me adopting it is the absolute inability to get a raspberry pi right now to run mainsail on. i've got alerts set up for stock on plenty of sites, but they're basically like gold dust.

foobar2k + soulseek was a heady combination. one abiding memory was how fragmented the components for fbk2 were and how you had to search through the hydrogen audio forums for updates and they often got abandoned/picked up by someone else, and the forum community was incredibly unwelcoming!

even though spotify has almost completely destroyed my need for fb2k, i do still use it for listening to radio streams. i'd love if there were fully fleshed out components that let you use spotify with fb2k.

the shortcoming with that, at least in my experience is that you cannot just quickly pull out your phone and glance at something, unless you want to accidentally pull your headphones out of your ears when you raise the phone to your face and tug on the wire that's trapped under your shirt.

i've destroyed so many wired headphones by forgetting i'm wearing them and trying to take off my bag and tearing them out of my ears forcefully. it got to the point where i ended up using wired headphones like a consumable. switching over to wireless has been bliss just for this simple reason.

my biggest gripe with wireless so far, and this might be specific to galaxy buds+ is that their batteries suck after a years use. otherwise, all the things you describe are why they're great.

Funnily enough recently I've started using tweetdeck on my phone too. I use Firefox and an addon called better tweetdeck to adjust the column width to the same width as my phone screen. There's some jank, but the value of having a Twitter client on mobile that's not the official mobile app, and not crippled like many third party apps are now, it's enough to compensate for that jank.

I would say as a heavy Twitter user my needs are probably not typical, but imo tweetdeck with its live updating columns is the true nature of the firehose that Twitter is, and I love it.

honestly i dont know why more people dont use tweetdeck. i have my timeline, it's not controlled by an algorithm, it's always chronological, i'm not constantly being suggested stuff, i can split out topics into columns that i'm interested in, i can filter the columns to show exactly what i want.

also can i suggest that filter:follows is super useful if you want to search a term exclusively among your follow list.

honestly i feel unmoored without tweetdeck on my second screen ticking by. i realise this is probably a bad thing, but getting my daily news and info, i'd say 90% comes from twitter.

i'm reminded of the prologue of Ian Bank's Excession which describes how a ship Mind (a vast incredibly powerful AI) is overwhelmed and subverted, its ship taken over by an excessive and overwhelming force, and only a solitary drone is able to make it off the ship after running a gambit as the force tries to stop the drone. most of the attack, the attempt to defend against it and the final hail mary by the drone takes place within thousands of a second.

also i'm reminded of battlestar galactica and how deeply distrustful they are of computers and tech because of everything that has happened to them.

only for videos with less than 100k views. his video had millions of views.
