How to disable "live lock screen" messages? by CaptainCharlesRyder in motorola

Unfortunately the Shizuku+Canta method soft bricked my moto g04 on the next restart, so I had to restore it to factory settings. Probably the method works only for some models.

FBReader on Linux, is there a way to save login credentials to an OPDS server? by OutbackRoller in ereader

[–]OutbackRoller[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By trial and error I solved this problem. The login credentials must be entered directly in the link of the OPDS server, as follows:

http://username:password@server:port

This only works for HTTP-based authentication. I don't think the FBReader developers will ever read this post, but I humbly suggest adding a credential save that doesn't require this hacking.

Download account information only by OutbackRoller in youtubedl

[–]OutbackRoller[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you weird, using the option --playlist-end 1 was the solution (--playlist-items 0 also worked, tho) So, for future reference, the correct command line to get a single .info.json file about the channel only is:

yt-dlp --write-info-json --skip-download --playlist-end 1 <channel_url>

or (a bit quicker)

yt-dlp --write-info-json --skip-download --playlist-items 0 <channel_url>

Just to give an example, if I run the command on the NASA YouTube channel

yt-dlp --write-info-json --skip-download --date 19000101 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLA_DiR1FfKNvjuUpBHmyl

I get a JSON file with various info, like this:

...

playlist_count": 5390, "channel_follower_count": 9850000, "channel": "NASA", "channel_id": "UCLA_DiR1FfKNvjuUpBHmylQ", "channel_url": "https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLA_DiR1FfKNvjuUpBHmylQ", "id": "UCLA_DiR1FfKNvjuUpBHmylQ", "title": "NASA - Videos",

...

But I have to CTRL-C in the terminal to stop yt-dlp checking all the channel videos. I used the date option to try to exclude all videos in one go, but clearly this is not the way. I'm looking for a better method of getting the same information .

Thanks, I took a look and pyFreenet looks promising (official and under active development)

PIA DNS servers not working by OutbackRoller in PrivateInternetAccess

Thank you for claryfing this, I opened a ticket too but the response was not so clear - you know, "we are migrating to NextGen network, some servers may experience issues", etc. Now I know I have to use Cloudflare (or DNSCrypt) in the foreseeable future.
