selfish yt-dl dmca drama
Maybe I'm just not cut out for politics. My automated-friendly-hug bots always get labeled 'spam' or 'terrorist propaganda' before I make them. They're so important! A few weeks ago, my friend, who often has fbi agents follow him (that's where people get the federal business card bouquets, they ask the surveillance workers who are always nearby), shared a movie from youtube, to an anonymous e-mail list of people who may be in similar situations. Unfortunately, right after his share, the movie was censored on youtube to everyone in our country. Naturally (actually this is pretty rare for me nowadays), I downloaded the movie from another country using tor and youtube-dl (which required a small bit of hacking due to some bug), uploaded it to somewhere else, and shared it back so he could redistribute a working link, and because it's fun to try to productively and inspirationally push the edges of this unfortunately-deadly-for-other-people struggle, as I can't do much else with my life at this point. Yesterday, this same friend sent out another movie, also on youtube. This time, the youtube video was censored worldwide! ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Jq5bwI3j6g ) Not only that, as you may have heard, youtube-dl's source repository was issued a dmca takedown notice the very same day and is no longer easily accessible. The video is also missing on amazon ( https://www.amazon.com/95ers-Time-Runners-Alan-Peterson/dp/B00JP5R09K ) and other services; I haven't looked to see if these other unavailabilities are new or old. I eventually found the producer of the video on facebook, who raised it from a kickstarter, and messaged them. I eventually downloaded this movie from a very old torrent, which only went to 99.9% completion because I didn't hunt down the last few pieces. Torrents are so much more reliable than youtube. I haven't even watched it yet myself. Here it is on ipfs: https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmSwreXf9Jc2X4bZzBw1JT5LRDagsMJoZxUBEFC15UuHyW/95ers%20...

One of the more popular forks... https://github.com/blackjack4494/yt-dlc Appears the world's GovCorp's are trying yet again to treat code the same as the books they love to burn, the freedom they want to keep from people, etc.

what do you mean not easily accesible? https://youtube-dl.org/ all you need to access it is 1 click. now hopefully they will stop using garbage like github...
Thanks for the references to youtube-dlc. Now I can keep pretending to be invincible with youtube. On Sun, Oct 25, 2020 at 12:10 AM Punk-BatSoup-Stasi 2.0 <punks@tfwno.gf> wrote:

It's scary that they haven't linked to a mirror source repository on that page, but maybe they are protecting it. It's also scary they distribute binaries when the app is written in python, but windows users don't have python. To do the crucial work of repeatedly stating the obvious in public, if the source code isn't available it's much harder to protect people against or find workarounds for incompatible, corrupt, or maliciously altered downloads. If the source history isn't available, it's much harder to sort out bugs or malicious alterations in the source code itself. As punk half-asserts, signed tarballs (which have source code but not history) are still available at https://yt-dl.org/download.html which is a blessing, although it seems there are even better solutions kicking around.

yeah I assumed the tar.gz file has the source, but I just noticed that its size is 1.5 megs - it used to be 3.something megs. I have a youtube-dl-2019.12.25.tar.gz file that is 3.2 megs. I stupidly didn't keep anything newer than that.
which is a blessing, although it seems there are even better solutions kicking around.

Yeah, when I try to actually download the 1.5 meg tarball, I get an error about an expired SSL certificate, and after download via that expired certificate it has an sha256sum that doesn't match the one on the website, if it matters. Lots of python files, though. Icing on the cake, the signature doesn't verify! That's always exciting. $ sha256sum youtube-dl-2020.09.20.tar.gz* ead79e9248aaf7667f015da2ccd4bde44a8948fa980f82965609cdca88ad285e youtube-dl-2020.09.20.tar.gz ab15f22cb3f9b22ef2c853e0326319bcfcf9fb92e7de6f2a9520c7c4ae6e23a4 youtube-dl-2020.09.20.tar.gz.sig $ gpg --verify youtube-dl-2020.09.20.tar.gz.sig gpg: Signature made Sun 20 Sep 2020 01:32:08 AM EDT using RSA key ID 18A9236D gpg: BAD signature from "Sergey M. <dstftw@gmail.com>" $ wc -c youtube-dl-2020.09.20.tar.gz* 1481717 youtube-dl-2020.09.20.tar.gz 566 youtube-dl-2020.09.20.tar.gz.sig 1482283 total My email to you doesn't even have a signature, so it has likely changed too.

Findable infohashes and time travel? Do you know what predictive analysis is? I like sliding through time backwards where large-scale physical laws are more schrodinger but it leaves me too confused to read wikipedia articles. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Predictive_analytics https://github.com/blackjack4494/yt-dlc/issues/9 For me, the poignancy of "time runners" is that it addresses people who aren't aware of ways other than war using superior analysis to prevent a caring genius heart from acting, and that this is impossible to succeed with forever: in national law enforcement! Have you seen BD05FFB9E34019CE89954984BF1489E59B33BD43 ? No seeds over here but I've seen it before. Australia makes good shows like that. man these numbers and letters are so confusing to read over plain text communication! I'll probably watch one of your infohashes at some point in the future. 3407956A1AF9B17C0C060B4C8BFA275D5FA67944 I've made a little progress on my hobby videogame project where people store livestreams of each other on immutable blockchains. Not a lot, but a little. On Mon, Oct 26, 2020 at 8:09 AM Zenaan Harkness <zen@freedbms.net> wrote:
