The ancient trials redefined for the modern age
Really fitting since usually the correct one isnt any of those. It’ll be the non-flashy, plain text “download here” link.
KNIGHT: He chose… poorly.
Indy studies the array of download buttons.

Ublock origin makes short work of these lol
Me with my script blocker “Yes it is now fuck off <3”
If George Lucas remade this, the Arab would shoot first.
The real ancient trials were on the 1990s warez sites where you’d have to hunt for a 2 pixel square link on a giant page of porn ads and other trickery. Then you could get part 42 of 78 of a .rar for some game. Repeat another 77 times and wait a week for it to download on 33.6k and you got a free game!
the real trial always seems to actually be installing firefox with ublock
Really? I haven’t had any issues on the 4 devices I’ve tried it on (Manjaro, Android, Windows, Manjaro). And the Windows was a locked down school version.
More people need to learn about yt-dlp and ffmpeg. Can’t talk about the seedy anime websites, but youtube-mp3 conversion is so easily done yourself without havaing to visit any virus-pushing sites once you figure out how.
It’s a hell of a lot more convenient to go to a shady site with an adblocker installed than install/update Python and a couple command line packages before manually performing conversion yourself.
You can yt-dlg right off the microsoft store on windows which is just a straight up GUI for yt-dlp.
rarely use the cli anymore. the gui works pretty well.
“A couple command line packages”, well, since both yt-dlp and ffmpeg are command line tools and two technically qualifies as “a couple”, this is technically correct, but making it seem like much more of a big deal than it is at the same time.
Also, you do not have to install Python for any of this. Never mind having Python installed is a good idea anyway.
two doesnt ‘qualify’ as a couple. two IS couple. a couple is two
yt-dlphas the-xoption to extract the audio, and as far as I can tell it doesn’t reencode which is fast. Ripping music from youtube is a single command.yt-dlp -x urlon linux at least, its one command to install, one command to run. worth the ‘effort’

I usually use the trick to download YouTube videos using vlc media player, that gives mp4s, which one can get an mp3 from if for some reason I want an mp3 and not mp4 using audacity or something
I recently needed a QR code generated, and for the life of me, I couldn’t find a website that wouldn’t either require me to sign up, or generate the QR code to their link shortener service.
Finally resorted to logging into my headless Linux server and installing some QR code package.
https://www.f-droid.org/packages/com.example.barcodescanner/ This seema to work pretty well for me.
The seedy anime sites are noticeably nicer than any legit site I’ve tried. Crunchyroll is a worse website than most pirate sites(assuming noting has improved since years ago). You just need an adblocker for the nuke my PC button next to the video.
From my time at Tumblr and DeviantArt I am really familiar with stuff like ffmpeg, but I don’t think it is the type you are referring too.
Now I’m wondering what else ffmpeg could mean… Maybe female-female-male threesome with pegging?
We tell not the muggles of our secret porn.
cobalt.tools is FOSS with no trackers or ads and can download from most places that matter.
It’s cobalt.tools ,you mistyped it
Ugh thanks
Your link is still broken, but I was able to find it. Looks awesome, thanks for sharing.
Someone’s using yt-dlp and ffmpeg wrong if they’re getting ads.
It reminds me of trying to find ROMs online as a kid, the link is almost always the smallest link, and almost never the five green DOWNLOAD buttons.
Adblockers remove all those messages and ads. You’d be surprised at exactly how boring those pages look without 12 different download buttons, an ad for McAfee, and two banners about VPNs.
Also the pirate movie sites that you can’t use without adblocker because without it wherever you click it opens a new window.
What I hate about those is when they switch sites but leave the ad ridden husk that gets worse and I need to figure out what southeast Asian domain I need to switch my tabs to.
It’s like a normie/noob filter at this point
The faerie folk have moved onto the internet.
You rang
It is the Otherworld after all
I’ve had good experiences with “4K Video Downloader” so far but take that with a grain of salt.
same with “fake” png websites. they usually just ask you to complete a captcha or sth and then actually give you the transparent image.
I’ve had a good experience with youpak, you just take the url from whatever YouTube video you’re on and change “tube” of YouTube.com/shegaiabfvtbrbw to “pak” so it’s youpak.com/whateverwhateverwhatever and the dropdown right at the top has the download or convert to MP3 buttons right there.
I do use Firefox with an adblocker so idk if it’s a cancerous site otherwise.

I hate it when people write the way they talk
How else should people write? Like AI models or something? What is wrong with writing in a way that conveys the speaking style of the author?
I bet you love people who write the way their dialect sounds.
It’s fine and I like it.
