YouTube seems to have won the war with VideoDownloadHelper. It just got updated, but it still can't grab a thing from YT.

I look forward to the day the people rise up, smash the state, and hang every executive at Google (and everywhere else) by the neck until REDACTED. Along with every politician, cop, etc.

Hi #SundayFunnies & #WatchParty fans

Yesterday, to avoid issues with

• ads
• subtitles
• buffering

I tried out YT Downloader to get the #KungFuSat film off Youtube in advance.

Today, I tried out browser extension #VideoDownloadHelper to download the movie in advance from OK.ru

https://www.downloadhelper.net/

• 360p (max available from that OK.ru link)
• 889MB (huge, Brain Stealers was 480p 225MB)
• slow (took 1 hour, avg speed 240kbps; YT avg 1Mbps+)

Excellent quality for 360p, no ads or interruptions :)

I've switched to lurking here for a while due to the effects the current political situation in the US is having on me. I am making some big changes to how I do things, including how I livestream and host various products of my math research. I'll be posting about the steps I take as I take them.

I have switched from #Firefox to #Librewolf on my desktops. This was pretty easy since I have been storing my bookmarks as a plain text file on my desktop for a while now. Very portable. I just wish #VideoDownloadHelper worked on Librewolf.

I am looking into #XMPP now and trying to find a server to sign up for. Does anyone know any with open registration?

I have also recently gotten into #IRC again, and am excited to get more familiar with the #Pidgin client on desktop.
