  • Youtubes fresh battle with adblockers has had me on a 6 month music video rip spree, with no signs of slowing down.

    Right now Jdownloader2 plus a browser extension to copy cookie info to the clipboard is working half decently.

    Once I started, I realized I can do a lot more with the videos now that they’re off youtube. No more ASR subtitles, I can time lyrics myself using Gaupol. I’ve also figured out how to pack the new subtitle, as well as original thumbnails and YT descriptions into the video using mkvtoolnix. Now a single video file can be dropped into jellyfin and fully provide its own local Metadata.

    It’s going well and I’m not slowing down at all. Fuck you, youtube.







  • This has been a constant stream of terrible reporting on this story. It’s shocking. I guarantee the geriatric fuck that wrote this article didn’t bother to ask a single nerd what they think. He actually called it stealthy. ITS A FUCKING CELL SIGNAL. they triangulate that shit for fun. They actually keep saying this could DDOS cell towers - do they think NYC has low pop density? that city creates more organic traffic from a baseball game than these devices could pump out, and they’re so close to eachother they’d interfere with themselves WAY before they started to affect everyone else’s access to that cell tower.

    The reporting on this has been absolute shit. There’s an endless stream of these types of cell services out there, they’re definitely shady, this one got caught up facilitating prank calls to members of congress and they rightfully got raided. But the rest reeks of the capt crunch whistling into a phone to set off a nuke bullshit
