Loving that nvim config… Using a similar one myself…

Forgot to mention that mpv is how I actually watch the videos. Newsboat downloads a list from each channel kinda like an RSS feed. I can then select any video & download it by pressing a keybinding. It’s been a while since I last had to actually set this up, but off memory, here’s some quick info…

The file ~/.newsboat/urls contains URLs similar to the one below. Just replace CHANNEL_ID with the actual channel ID. You can find the channel ID in the URL of the channel’s page…

https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=CHANNEL_ID

With the URLs in place you can edit your newsboat config file to set up a key binding for downloading videos using yt-dlp. It should be as simple as adding something like the following to the config…

macro d set browser “yt-dlp %u”; open-in-browser ; set browser “xdg-open %u”

This binds the d key to use yt-dlp to download videos.

I love YouTube, but the site often annoys me in many ways. On my computer I use newsboat along with yt-dlp to download all the videos I want to watch offline. This way, I can watch content without dealing with any of the site’s frustrations…

I absolutely love how minimalist this looks…

OpenSUSE was actually released long before Arch even existed. I’m an Arch user, btw, but I consider both operating systems to be excellent choices. Everyone has their own preferences. Let people enjoy what they like and embrace their individuality. We don’t all have to be alike…

All Linux distros are kinda the same really.

• Use them incorrectly & they’ll break…
• Use them correctly & they’ll just work…

This is how not to use Arch… Update at least once a month, or if not maybe at least twice a month. If you can’t handle the updates on Arch then consider switching to something like Debian…

I’ve actually been meaning to give systemd boot a try. Been using grub just fine though & I’ve never actually had any problems with it…

I installed Arch once & it took less than 30mins to complete. Still using the same install, as it has literally never broken. This comic literally applies to those people who use Arch incorrectly…

Had some problems while trying to compile and install a WiFi driver for the first time. Managed to find the email of the driver’s creator and sent them a message. They responded a few hours later with incredibly helpful guidance, walking me through the process and enabling me to get it working, all while gaining valuable insights…

Thank you for pointing out this app 🙏👍

There’s nothing wrong with using something like KDE. I myself use XFCE. Use whatever you like and are comfortable with…

Never tried bandcamp, but will have to try it out soon…

I try to buy all my music directly from the artist in CD form whenever possible. Whenever that’s not possible, I try to get a version that I can save locally & play offline…

Way back in 2003, I had a school project partner over to do some work on a project. They had a floppy that was infected with some malicious stuff and had planned to utterly trash my computer with it. I only found out at a later date because some guys were asking me questions about my computer, and someone spilled the beans whenever they realised that my computer wasn’t infected and was indeed still functioning completely fine…

I gave bspwn a try a while back, but never stuck with it. Recently been thinking about giving it another try. Any advice you could give to someone who’s primarily been using XFCE for the most part…

I’ve not used neofetch in quite some time, but I’m sure my own is indeed faster…

While I’ve nothing against neofetch, I prefer to use my own fetch because it needs little to no maintenance and has everything I need. I actually think that maintaining a neofetch config might actually be more work in the long run. Anyway… I’m using plain old Bash for my shell prompt. I’ve just customized it using nerd fonts (see one of my other comments on this post for the command)…

You are 100% correct :)
