  • Looking into downloading a webcomic

    Jump

  • Seems like you have a good alternative that doesn't require a script, but for tasks like this I like to recommend the book Automate the Boring Stuff with Python. It's free to read online, and if I recall correctly has essentially exactly this task as one of the exercises.

  • Hello! Thank you for posting in the World News community. While I'm not able to read the full article due to a paywall, I think this submission may be better suited for Beehaw's US News community. Please consider posting there in the future if you have similar news you would like to share. Thanks!

  • [Arch/EndeavourOS] Random reboots

    Jump

  • Huh, nothing super jumps out to me as an obvious tell, but the last bit is talking about some weird stuff with NTFS. Do you have a drive with Windows or formatted by Windows mounted maybe? Something could be up with that drive, or if you're using it for something important to the system that could be a problem. You can just follow the recommendation in the log and use chkdsk on it but that could potentially be destructive to the data on the drive so be careful and make backups if needed.

  • Is there anything in the journal? If you're not familiar, try something like journalctl -o short-precise -k -b -1 and then look for anything weird.

  • Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of January 12th

    Jump

  • In this how it is time for Project Zomboid, which other than the zombies respawning is really hitting my middle school zombie apocalypse itch. So much so that I am thinking of rereading World War Z!

  • debian 13.2 with yt-dlp 2025.12.08 from yt-dlp/yt-dlp. What command do I need to download the newest format available, not exceeding 1080p and up to VP9?

    Jump

  • Okay looks like your format spec should look something like 'bv*[ext=mp4][vcodec!^=av01]+ba[ext=m4a]/b[ext=mp4][vcodec!^=av01]'. Single quotes needed to keep shell expansion from fighting me, not sure if that will be an issue for you. You may have intended this, but the extension restriction does mean that you'll sometimes skip "better" formats like VP9 if they are webms or something, and you can specify an output mux if that is what you are trying to achieve.

    Jump

  • I think you would want to include [vcodec!=av1] somewhere in your format specifications. Let me try it and see.

  • What's the "proper" way to share a single Wireguard connection for all devices on the local network?

    Jump

  • No particular experience with the VPN issue so feel free to completely ignore this idea, but if you do have to stick with something resembling your current solution it could make sense to put it in a VM or container so that the process of rebuilding it is not so burdensome.

  • MAMDANI Act

    Jump

  • Not sure if it would technically count, but it's giving bill of attainder for sure.

  • on debian 13.1 I just updated yt-dlp to stable@2025.11.12 but I still cannot download videos. What am I doing wrong?

    Jump

  • Maybe also add -v for verbose? I just tried it on my admittedly very different EndeavourOS system and the original command started right up downloading a video

  • New image-generating AIs are being used for fake expense reports

  • Meanwhile I'm out here like "wow I hope I submitted my receipt correctly and do not get banished to the shadow realm"

  • How's gaming and streaming on T-Mobile home internet?

    Jump

  • I have not used T-Mobile specifically but I did try out a 5g home internet product and one thing to look out for is that trees can interfere with your signal, so make sure there's not trees between where you'll put your access point and the towers. If you're in the northern hemisphere and the leaves have fallen also keep in mind that the signal could be affected more when the leaves come back.

  • Help me change my windows gaming pc to Linux

    Jump

  • Mentioned elsewhere in the thread I think but not in a direct reply so making sure you see it, Lutris has the game specific scripts but also ones to set up environments for Origin/EA App. I've used those before with Sims 4 with both several expansion packs and some custom content.
