They can try to block crawlers all they want
They will not succeed without restricting access to Reddit to an unusable degree, since crawlers can be coded to imitate real users close enough. Combine that with enough proxies and they can’t do jack shit
Also you could get arround the Referer header quite easily via redirects (unless Reddit went ahead and used a Whitelist for those, which again would be a very stupid decision) and some more methods
Easiest way is to download all and let something like dupeGuru do the rest
Afaik google makes that extremely annoying and they strip your images metadata when getting them from takeout so keep that in mind
Also, for your own good create a backup before deduplicating, just in case you do something wrong (this also let’s you experiment with your duplicate file finder of choice without having to be scared about fucking up)
True, that guy seems like a jerk
Also, if you only want the highest quality using the command line version is easy as running
yt-dlp “link”
for example:
yt-dlp “https://m.youtube.com/watchv=dQw4w9WgXcQ”
Although it needs ffmpeg too for certain websites that have seperate audio and video streams. Maybe that’s why your previous experiences have been wonky
For duplicates dupeGuru’s Music Mode should suffice (don’t be overly aggressive when batch deleting files!)
Then tag and sort them with MusicBrainz Picard (again, take it slow. Picard is great and all but not every automated match is correct and I always check mine if they’re correct)
After doing that start taking notes while listening to your Music in case you detect something is wrong (missed duplicate, wrong/partial metadata, etc) which allows you to fix these errors later on
I’d also recommend you do backups along the way because dupeGurus and Picards changes can’t be undone and as a beginner you’re likely to do mistakes till your accustomed to the process
That’s what I did and will continue to do with my 1500 songs (for now)
I also prefer to sync my music from my PC to my phone via rsync (any sync application should suffice). But that’s just me, because imo offline playback is the way to go
For rooted phones:
There is Pixelify Magisk module
And also PixelSpoof for Magisk, although this one seems quite unknown.
As always be careful what Magisk modules you install, malicious ones can fuck you up badly. Personally I’d try Pixelify (seems legit enough) and wouldn’t touch the other with a 3 foot pole. You do you though
Why is it that smaller people can do seemingly obvious features like custom user-controlled site rankings, but the big players are completely incapable of that?
Because that would give control to the user. And we all know they hate us having that because they can’t shove their shit down our throats then
Don’t know if it works without an account but gallery-dl supports Instagram
Thank you, luckily arch-qbittorrentvpn already does those things, so I don’t have to
Yeah, I noticed that it has consistently picked the best format without me having to tell it. I just run the -F first, so I can see if that’s true by looking at the available formats and looking at what is actually downloaded. I’m not at the point where I’ll just trust it yet.
Funnily enough that’s how I did it at first too. It’s good that you’re willing to put this much effort into understanding, confirming and improving things. Keep doing it like this and you’ll surely keep improving as long and as much as you want to :)
Your first command listing the formats is “useless”, depending on what you define the best quality is. yt-dlp orders the output by it’s format selection (-f argument) which is bestvideo*+bestaudio/best by default which also gets affected by the format sorting (-S / --formart-sort). By default av1 use is discouraged over vp9 so I’d highly recommend you look into them if you really want to make sure it’ll downlad the best quality ones. In my experience the default settings are really good, except some fringe cases (for example if you’d rather download av1 encoded videos). Keep in mind though most digital stuff still runs h264/h265 for compatibility reasons
Have fun learning and don’t forget to look over the yt-dlp ReadMe on github! It has all the information you’ll ever need and much more :)
I’d recommend the Stealth mode installation by dropping the User32.dll into the Steam directory
To answer your edit: It depends. Some DLC need to be downloaded seperately, you need to install those manually (most are downloaded with the base game in my experience). cs.rin.ru has many ressources on how to do that. You’d have to do that for CreamAPI aswell though. Adding non owned games is pretty much useless imo because you only get cloudsaves and achievement support iirc, you’d be better of playing a cracked version without Steams DRM instead.
The best thing about GreenLuma is it’s Family Sharing Restrictions bypass though. If you share libraries with some friends you can play almost everything together with only one license
Get GreenLuma (found on cs.rin.ru) instead, it doesn’t modify game files. It works by injecting itself into the steam client
Some games have server sided dlc checks though, so keep that in mind
This website has all the infos you need. You probably won’t get anymore spoonfed than this, good luck :)
This should be the real one: https://www.luckypatchers.com/
Beware fake download ads though (I’ve never seen any of those, but people without uBlock might)
Sideberry is really good and can do all of that and much more. You need to have a custom userChrome.css to hide the native tab bar though
I’m sorry, I misread your question. --cookies requires you to be logged in
Why not use TwitchNoSub in combination with Video DownloadHelper?
I always use the download helper to get the Video urls and then download them via yt-dlp
yt-dlp can do that using the --cookies command line argument
I’d recommend TraSH-Guides
