  • Freetube

    Edit: In my experience Piped or Invidious gets rate limited often and stop loading videos for a while and I need to change instances. Freetube doesn’t have that problem, the only times videos stop working is when youtube changes something, when that happens I use Freetube to grab the video link and run a script to download with yt-dl and watch on the mpv player.

    script that I grabbed on the internet
    #!/usr/bin/env bash
    
    # Directory for downloaded videos:
    DL_DIR="$HOME/Downloads/yt"
    mkdir -p $DL_DIR
    
    # Video player:
    #PLAYER="xdg-open"
    PLAYER="/usr/bin/mpv"
    #PLAYER="/usr/bin/smplayer"
    
    # Downloader and options:
    YTDL="/bin/yt-dlp"
    YTDL_OPTS=(--no-playlist -S "res:1080" -N 5 --add-chapters)
    YTDL_DIR_OPTS=(-P "$DL_DIR")
    
    set -e
    
    CMD() {
      printf "[CMD]: "
      printf "\"%s\" " "$@"
      printf "\n"
      "$@"
    }
    
    # Get URL from clipboard if run without argument:
    if [ -z "$1" ]; then
      URL="$(xclip -o -sel c)"
    #  CMD qdbus org.kde.klipper /klipper org.kde.klipper.klipper.clearClipboardHistory
    else
      URL="$1"
    fi
    
    # Get video filename
    printf "[URL]: %s\n" "$URL"
    FILENAME=$("$YTDL" --get-filename "${YTDL_DIR_OPTS[@]}" "$URL")
    printf "[FILE]: %s\n" "$FILENAME"
    
    # Download video
    CMD "$YTDL" "${YTDL_OPTS[@]}" "${YTDL_DIR_OPTS[@]}" "$URL"
    
    # Play video
    CMD "$PLAYER" "$FILENAME" >/dev/null 2>&1
    

    I also configured a cronjob to clean the directory everyday.









  • The opening lines of Nier Automata are nihilistic and signal 2B’s desire to just get death over with. Nothing in the whole game’s story brought this feeling back in the other direction, and as a result of an adventure spanning a gray and brown “Abandoned city and death” the optimistic ending absolutely didn’t hit with me. Hard to identify why my response was so different from everyone else’s.

    Yoko Taro let the answer to the player, even in the good ending is for you to decide why is worth living.

    spoiler

    If you find the 2B flight unit you can read the message she left for 9S. “The time I was able to spend with you It was like memories of pure light”. To me this message is 2B answer for the question of what is worth living. Another thing, the OST for the main area of the earth, the cozy ost, is named Rays of light(I think is the same name in japanese) and to me is referencing the “memories of pure light”
