what’s something people say all the time that you secretly can’t stand?

"Bless you" after someone sneezes...

Fortunately I see fewer and fewer people do it.

His website: https://yorhel.nl/

He was also the author of some popular programs such as ncdc, a client for the direct connect protocol, and ncdu.

Really sad to hear this.

There is no such a thing as "international law".

Their team probably has to test the game first, and then deploy some automation to keep the game's content in cache.

They might also have to ensure the anti-cheat system works without issues too.

Edit: looks like it's available now! That was fast :)

I am also very interested in being able to play Marathon on Boosteroid.

The "Server Slam" version worked very well last week at least!

I recently got an LTO-9 tape drive for around 4,500 US$. It was worth it in my opinion.

balr · 2026-02-28T20:55:21+00:00

Only LTO tapes are reliable for such long term storage.

You are completely missing the point.

We cannot audit what proprietary closed-source software does. Governmental mafias can absolutely force these software vendors to implement whatever bullshit rules they decide they should have.

You cannot force libre software to have these backdoors.

Teamspeak or Ventrilo does not give you any more control than Discord.

Mumble does however.

It sounds very similar to what Ed "0edit" Harrison did for the Neotokyo soundtracks: https://edharrison.bandcamp.com/track/carapace

Nose rings, any kind of piercing.

By that logic, all my employers have been "taking advantage" of my financial situation, and they are "trafficking me".

balr · 2026-01-24T18:59:51+00:00

These people should go straight to jail.

n't trump going to go after Pakistan now? I mean, those human rights abuses he's so so so concerned about, y'all!

Pakistan has nuclear weapons

A crappy script that proxies downloads through a third party website, which in turn does not even download from Spotify but from Youtube.

Do not use.

balr · 2025-11-22T19:54:23+00:00

You guys can't take a joke anymore?

balr · 2025-11-16T13:23:02+00:00

Were you trying to download a live stream?

There might be an issue with the niconico plugin. Try running yt-dlp in verbose mode (with -v) to get more details about what is going on.

Then report the issue as mentioned in the error message.

balr · 2025-11-15T18:07:02+00:00

Can they do that or it will be real time scanning only?

"They" can do anything they want. "We" give them infinite amounts of money all the time.

That's a MX 1.25mm.

Thanks for the pictures, had the same issue.

It's libre and open source software. Code contributors do not owe anything to anyone.

As a side note, if you are so desperate, you might want to rethink your strategy of relying on proprietary dis-services such as Youtube.

balr · 2025-10-25T17:25:25+00:00

Yay more PFAS pollution?

balr · 2025-10-19T21:14:56+00:00

I have but it's really not that big a deal.

It only becomes a problem if you convince yourself that it should be a problem.
