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

here's the original video, i assume the twitter user didn't know how to download or deeplink to it so they screen recorded it.

made a lot more sense when i looked up what endsong_*.json was. you can download your data (prob relates to gdpr requirements i guess) here https://www.spotify.com/us/account/privacy/ details as to what is included in json dump is noted here https://support.spotify.com/us/article/understanding-my-data...

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.

techpod did an episode recently with the engineering camera payload uplink lead from nasa jpl doug ellison. it was very cool.

from the episode summary:

> "Friend of the podcast Doug Ellison from NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab stops by to give us the lowdown on the newest Mars rover Perseverance, which will be landing on the red planet in just a few weeks, plus all kinds of fun info about Lagrange transceivers, making oxygen out of thin air, flying helicopters on other planets, and recording home movies at mach 25."

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.

quite honestly i dont need to see more men on my twitter follow list. i already follow 2.8k people and i know it's more than a 50/50 split of men ratio of men to women, so i've gone out of my way to try and diversify my follow list by preferring to follow women, poc and non gender confirming people. you're gonna get some silly uppity people who get all upset about this kinda thing, but personally i think there's real value in preferencing groups which aren't seen as the 'default' when it comes to cultural capital. in that regard whether it was through happy coincidence or otherwise, your service seems pretty cool.

alfred nobel - he invented the nobel peace prize because he didn't want his legacy to be being remembered as the inventor of dynamite and profiting from arms sales.

i've been using fb2k for more than a decade now, but i gave up trying to do anything to fancy with it because its addon support was such a clusterfsck, mostly because i found over time that a lot of addons became defunct as their developer vanished, or the links broke or etc, and trying to get support on hydrogen audio was like sticking your hands into a bees nest.

to be fair it's been a long time since i looked into skinning it and things may be better now. it's still an excellent clean audio player, i just keep it close to stock with a few addons so i send audio to a chromecast.

there sure were some wild and beautiful fb2k skins and themes back in the day.

my own experiences of BT have made me leery of using them. their customer service is utterly appalling. just consistently, every single time i've had to deal with them, help a friend or family member sort out their bs, it's a horror. we even had to move our business away from their service because we just couldn't have meetings and do screenshares consistently.

even if i wanted bt fibre, i live in the center of a large city in the uk, and i cant get fttc because im on the wrong street. one street over they can get fibre, mine, not a chance - and no plans to according to openreach either. similar issue with where our office is located. wrong street. no fibre. a few streets over, fibre.

virgin on the other hand, i have their 200/20 package. consistently max out the connection no problem. had them for years and they've consistently performed above expectations - i even remember when they were called blue yonder.

Worth noting that people who were unsatisfied with the low res results of PhotoScan (a poor 3mp), so modded it to bump the final resolution to 12mp https://www.xda-developers.com/modded-version-of-googles-pho...

i'm still super pissed at the changes they made to search in tweetdeck recently. ( see announcement here https://twitter.com/TweetDeck/status/842044139587928064 ).

now each time you click the search icon on the left hand side, when you do a search in the pop up box, rather than inline the results in the pop-up search window (all still on the left hand side), it now automatically generates a new column. for each search. that appears to the right of the last column in tweetdeck.

as a ux decision this is awful. searches in tweetdeck were ephemeral. you search, 99% of the time you close your search once satisfied with the results, and that was it. the number of times you actually want to convert a search into a permanent column is very small.

as it is with the changes to search every single time you search now you instantly generate a new column. if you dont delete each search the columns just keep on building up and up. this is an awful and unrequested change to tweetdeck search, and there seems to be zero public facing community managers for tweetdeck who this can be raised with.

hah yes i hadn't spotted that but now you point it out i realise it was itching the back of my brain.

hey, just a thought, but at some point if this gets too popular you will probably get a message from the UK TV company SKY who wont be super happy about your name.

yep. i've been using this https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/linux/sql-server-linux-...

sc? i used to knew a few groups like this that concentrated on obscure arthouse films, but i've long since forgotten their names about from sc. there was another one that had something to do with a crow i think. hmm.

truth. how we collectively became accepting of drones used by our governments to destroy targets half way round the world whilst the pilots sit in some skyscraper somewhere in our own countries is remarkable. honestly the disconnect is beyond deeply troubling.

when one of the most significant figures in politics right now uses twitter as their platform for communicating with their support base, for better or worse, the idea of being politics agnostic just seems silly.

have you requested your credit history? you should be able to access that for free and that might give you some insight.

and yeah, it's fucking awful and i detest the whole thing.

> The "funny" thing is, our governments are probably doing very similar things

perhaps in capital driven liberal countries it's called Credit Ratings - rather than your worth being judged through your loyalty, it's judged through your willingness to spend and accrue debt.

not trying to sound bleak and cynical, but just a thought.

here's a video of him actually building the 20k watt power supply https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ka-LEcZaYqQ

should answer a few of your questions.

this effectively privatises our schools and means that the local education authority has no oversight - as far as i am concerned that's bloody insane. being "beholden" to local authorities means we can see how finances are being spent and have public accountability. you will not get that when there's no obligation of the provider to do so.

if it were some product falling through that cracks, who the hell would care, but that's some kids future.
