@lanodan@coolboymew@p A lot of the archive sites are either cloudflared (with no way to complete the captchas I’ve ever found), or constantly changing URLs. I really see no value to be had in going through the trouble for a site that bans Tor for stupid reasons anyway.

:alcaponethinking:
@dcc@charlie_root I mean you say that but there are some older configs I used (can’t remember now what they were) and changing them would have required not just a rewrite of my configs but of my shell scripts as well.
Unless they’ve streamlined it since then. I think the last time was ~5 years ago.
@dcc@charlie_root ty. Do you know if it will work with original yt-dl? I’ve wanted to install yt-dlp for years but trying to edit the configs was a fucking nightmare so I never followed through.

@Zerglingman The whole of the internet was good while it lasted tbqh and tbf. Still some small corners worth visiting but everything worth being indexed is downloadable anymore.

@Zerglingman I know that it’s fast and convenient and looks less ugly, but unless you know regex by heart parsing a complex regex is like trying to look into a black hole.
Then you gotta look up a guide, and figure it out.
I just feel like for loops, ifs with a lot of conditional statements, or anything really with more readability is preferable.
But you know my skill level as a programmer so this might be another skill issue on my part.
@PNS@lonelyowl@dcc@Zerglingman@Quentel@ThatCrazyDude@binarywave@jessecoynelson One last thing because I felt I need to say it: I’ve dealt with internet arguments and faggots for many many years now and simply don’t feel like doing it anymore. It’s not as if I like the skill per se, I just don’t feel like dealing with it anymore.
I like to joke mostly. Sometimes I am serious. That is all.Want to follow? Please read carefully: No statuses within a few days? Blocked. Bot? Blocked.I've also got this thing called verbal diarrhea. It comes from my never-ending autism. Please be advised that if you follow me you'll need to deal with turbo-autism on a fairly regular basis.One last thing: I only follow those who post things I appreciate on the regular. Unless I am hurting for stuff on my feed. Nothing personal, but I get information overload at times and not following every rando helps keep that at bay to a degree.
