Passing raw YouTube URLs without strict validation felt too risky, so proper URL validation and argument hardening for yt-dlp are officially here!
(Fun fact: Ran cargo fmt before committing, so it looks like I rewrote half the repo π Still learning Git for my first project, but the code is as clean as my knowledge goes and the fix is properly handled!)

Good read for the weekend!
>> AI agents rewrote Git in Rust as a memory-safe library, passing 99% of tests for embeddable, efficient tools.
CDCβs 2026 Bundibugyo Ebola outbreak projections were modeled using a branching process simulator written in Rust 1.95, paired with a Python pipeline, showcasing Rustβs growing role in high-stakes epidemiological modeling.
Verification complete with a successful result!
My next project will be a #Radicle orchestrator process that can mirror our repos to third-party resource (like our read-only presence on GitHub).
While I find #Rust easy to read, I haven't written much #Rustlang code yet. This will be a good exercise in learning Rust. :-)
The main idea is to implement bunches of features in this orchestrator (the first being the aforementioned repo mirroring support.) The next feature will likely be per-commit emails and issue/patch notifications via #Pushover.
Saving subtitles only to ~/Downloads felt a bit too restrictive...
So now, the --output flag is here for both downloading AND merging!
You can finally save your files anywhere you like. The update is live on GitHub.
Huge thanks to the community for the awesome feedback! π«Ά
