hmm.... anyone else aware of YT-DLP, the YouTube downloader tool, no longer working recently?

EDIT: Apparently, people are reporting to me that YouTube itself is struggling today. Maybe that's it.

EDIT2: YT-DLP appears to have increased some dwell time in their script recently AND there were, indeed, reports of things at YouTube being all porkchop sandwiches the other day... so between an updated version of the tool and the datacenter no longer on fire or whatever, downloading wiht YT-DLP appears to work properly again. 👍

@deviantollam at SondeHub hq on GPS rollover day we noticed a lack of data coming through. We scrambled to check our code. Everything looked fine. Our test radiosondes were even working. It was so confusing. Then we found out that the lack of data was because the launch sites stopped launching balloons.

The ground stations running the official software failed to handle that roll over which prevented the launches.
