  • Glad to hear it’s working for you again. I did look around on yt-dlp’s github issue tracker and found one issue where the problem was that a user was downloading using a datacenter IP. I gather from this that it might’ve been a problem caused by your ISP perhaps giving you an IP that youtube sees as suspicious, or perhaps youtube messing up with their filters causing you to appear as suspicious by accident.
    Good luck with your studies btw.







  • I wouldn’t know, I’m not hanging out with zoomers as a xennial in his early 40s without kids, but I’m sure their knowledge about phones and stuff is a lot higher than mine. I very rarely use tablets or even my own smartphone, it’s all about the computer for me.
    Now, I am learning linux for second* time for the last 14 months, and it has also been humbling.

    First time was 20 years ago, but everything felt incredibly broken at that time, not the experience I was after.



  • It’s not like there’s more sunlight, it’s just offsetting where in the day you get the most sunlight. Turn the clock back and you get sunlight earlier in the day, and turn the clock forward you get more sunlight in the afternoon/evening.
    As someone living just north enough in Denmark, winters are brutal depending on your job, and I’ve mostly had factory-like jobs where I spent most days inside without sunlight, so I’d drive to work in darkness, spend most of the day in artificial light, no windows, and then drive home in darkness.


  • YES! Get rid of that dumb shit!
    Not sure what programmers have to say about this though. Ideally DST would’ve been scrapped like 30 years ago back when there were a lot fewer people using computers, so a lot of code wouldn’t need updating as soon as such a change is implemented, but waiting will only worsen it.
    I think keeping summertime is the better option. Having a bit of sunlight when you come home from school or work in winter would be priceless. Even if it means darker mornings.
