I wrote a web front end for downloading Youtube videos, and i'd love some feedback
  • yt-dlp supports downloading playlists. By using the --archive option it can save all downloaded video ID's into a text file and will only download videos which are not in that file.

    I wrote a docker container with a friend that uses that mechanism to auto download new videos every time it is triggered using cron. The configuration is a bit rough though and there is no gui so if this supports that part as well I might switch.

    Im looking for a book about a girl with a magic eye on an air ship to catch magic only she can see
  • Very late reply and not from the person you originally asked but personally I really liked the series.

    It's definetely young adult oriented and has a strong romance focus though so if you don't like that you may want to stay away from it

  • This is missing at least Bosch, probably some other brands I can't remember right now. That would ruin the 4 houses association though...

    Anyone still giving a name to your car, and what is it?
  • My father always called my sisters car "Beulchen", which is the german diminutive word for dent. It was a very basic Ford Fiesta. No wireless car key, no electrically controlled side mirrors but at least it had AC.

  • Sometimes they have it written on the clockface. I don't think that's a general rule though.

    In the same way there are digital clocks that can be wrong too though.

  • Depends for me. In my casual day to day I don't but when I had a lot of appointments to meet I find it quicker to check the time on my wrist than bu fumbling for my smartphone in my pocket, something that is probably even more true for women if they store their phone in a small bag due to lack of pockets.

    Also, sometimes I like leaving my phone at home because I have unfortunately developed the tendency to give it a short glance whenever I have downtime. If I still need to know the time I can still wear a wristwatch.

  • There are radio controlled clocks which theoretically shouldn't be wrong. At least as long as there isn't a battery or motor issue...

  • Honestly that's just about being used to one versus the other. For me it's basically the other way around

  • My first thought was "yes", my second thought was "actually, maybe not?" and my third thought was reading the word clockwise in another comment which would need to be replaced with another word to indicate direction around an axis and its opposite

    Linux on non-PCs/Laptops
  • Not sure if that's the kind of device you are asking about but kobo e-readers run Linux. It's allowed me to sideload my books over SFTP instead of always having to plug in a USB cable

    Should every printer have a easy to disconnect toolhead?
  • As long as its not a propietary connector I don't see any problem with it. Bonus points if there are spare connectors for fans, LED lightning or even just spare GPIO pins available to allow for user modification

    Please help me stop my baby from crying because kodi keeps buffering
  • I'm not sure about how this works in kodi but in jellyfin the client might request a different resolution which causes the server to try and reencode the provided file on the fly. In my case my server isn't fast enough for this which leads to constant buffering

  • The only thing I hate is how sometimes a document compiles perfectly fine on one machine only to utterly fail on another. On the two machines were I had this happen I have Texlive installed so that I wouldn't have to look up missing packages. Maybe this is a version mismatch error? I have no clue.

    Also I had an old document I wanted to compile which used a '\begin{justifying}' tag. I can't get that tag to work anymore and had to replace it with just '\justifying'

    80% of programmers are NOT happy… why? - YouTube
  • There's little physical movement or location variety

    That's the main reason I switched from computer science to electrical engineering with a focus on embedded software. Programming microcontrollers to achieve something tangible is a lot more satisfying for me than writing some application that only runs on my pc to shuffle some bits around

    What is a product you would never recommend?
  • My mother got an HP 255 G8 laptop on which the webcam just will not work no matter what I do.

    It's enabled in the bios and the correct driver is installed but the built-in webcam is not detected. Also the keyboard got damaged with the space button only responsing to center presses after roughly a year of usage.

    I know it's a relatively cheap machine but the driver issue pissed me off

    How to remove DRM from my books?
  • I believe it sometimes works based on when the book was published for some reason and that newer books may have a better DRM protection against this method

    How to remove DRM from my books?
  • I managed to do it somehow without a kindle but it was an absolute pain in the ass. For my first few books I had to download then using a specific old version of the kindle desktop app so that calibre was able to remove the encryption. Apparently the encryption used by the newer kindle desktop app is different.

    For my next books that suddenly wasn't enough and I had to use an old android app version in an emulator and get the books out of the hidden app storage using adb.

    I'm never buying an ebook of amazon again if I can avoid it

  • Hello everyone, I have another question regarding reverse-proxying again, specifically for the linuxserver.io jellyfin image.

    On the dockerhub page for this image there are 4 ports listed which should be exposed:

    • 8096 for the HTTP Web UI
    • 8920 for the HTTPS Web UI
    • 7359/udp for autodiscovery of jellyfin from clients
    • 1900/udp for service discovery from DLNA and clients

    Additionally there is also an environment variable JELLYFIN_PublishedServerUrl which is for "Setting the autodiscovery response domain or IP address". I currently have that set to my subdomain https://jellyfin.mydomain.com though I am not sure if that is correct.

    I already have a reverse-proxy set up allowing me to access my servers webinterface under https://jellyfin.mydomain.com without exposing the https port on the container. What I am unsure about now however, is what to do with the two ports for UDP traffic.

    By my understanding, a reverse-proxy will only forward traffic which comes to the ports 80 for http and 443 for https. Those are also the only ports my reverse-proxy container has exposed alongside the management interface. As such the 2 udp ports will not be reachable under my jellyfin domain.

    How can I change this or is this even an issue?

    Hello, I have a question regarding the usage of a reverse-proxy which is part of a docker network.

    I currently use Nginx Proxy Manager as a reverse-proxy for all my services hosted in docker. This works great since I can simply forward using each containers name. I have some services however (e.g. homeassistant) which are hosted separately in a VM or using docker on another device.

    Is it possible to use the same reverse-proxy for those services as well? I haven't found a way to forward to hosts outside of the proxies docker network (except for using the host network setting which I would like to avoid)
