I have a flask app with a bunch of home utilities I’ve written and one of them is a wrapper around yt-dlp that takes a URL and saves it to a Plex library location.

Then there’s a bookmarklet I use from desktop Firefox when I’m on a youtube (or other) video page that sends the current URL to that endpoint.

Also I can “share” any video URL on my phone to this web service, and I use that all the time from Newpipe when I want to watch something on my TV instead of on the phone.

Why are frequent restarts healthy? Do you mean at a hardware level or for the OS?

Why would you need a home server in addition to your day to day desktop computer? I leave my desktop on at all times because it’s a Plex/ErsatzTV server, HomeAssistant server, web server for various utilities I’ve written, etc. It works great.

Postgres is a more robust and better designed and developed product, also it’s not owned by fucking Oracle.

Yes, there’s supposed to be a higher legal standard for the state sending you to prison than a private party banning you from their forum.

Lord, beer me strength

I’ll use it for now while it’s good and ditch it if/when it enshittifies just as I ditched Reddit and Twitter. The mistake I won’t repeat is relying on it. If I have to bail, it won’t be difficult this time.

Hooray for criminals, who stimulate progress towards protection from criminals. Kings.
