If it doesn’t use a BNC connector I don’t trust it

When I dig through ODs a ton of them are usually India based and have a whole bollywood subdir. Try palined

Youtubes fresh battle with adblockers has had me on a 6 month music video rip spree, with no signs of slowing down.

Right now Jdownloader2 plus a browser extension to copy cookie info to the clipboard is working half decently.

Once I started, I realized I can do a lot more with the videos now that they’re off youtube. No more ASR subtitles, I can time lyrics myself using Gaupol. I’ve also figured out how to pack the new subtitle, as well as original thumbnails and YT descriptions into the video using mkvtoolnix. Now a single video file can be dropped into jellyfin and fully provide its own local Metadata.

It’s going well and I’m not slowing down at all. Fuck you, youtube.

Steam forces game updates down your throat. It makes sense for competitive online games, but take fallout 4 for example. Totally offline single player. A million mods made for specific game versions, and all the guides for modding stress a half dozen little things you can do to your steam install to stop the updates but the shit happens anyway. Crap like modifying steam INI files and making them read only. Shit users shouldn’t need to do.

It’s not on Bethesda to just what…not update their game? It’s on steam to say hold up, maybe we shouldnt be pushing this update - it might break everything. Yes/no dialog prompts aren’t rocket science.

A few weeks ago Bethesda pushed a new update on a 10+ year old game, and it destroyed countless modded save files for everyone. This is on steam and their ham fisted updates.

Edit: don’t take my word for it, find some reviews here with 1000+ hours in the game:

https://steamcommunity.com/app/377160/reviews/

910.3 hrs on record - “Bethesda? Please stop releasing updates to 10y+ old games. Just breaking mods and frustrating players at this point.”

1,565.3 hrs on record - ‘Well, after 1.6K hours spent playing, all the towns built, monsters killed and latex suits craftet for my beautifull girls companions, latest update destroyed all the 200 mods again…’

1,617.5 hrs on record - “The new update was hot rubbish. Leave well enough alone Bethesda, updating a ten-year old game and breaking a thriving modding community…”

Jdownloader2 is some horrid looking Java program that actually kicks ass.

I might be late to this party but I recently noticed a VLsub option in VLC itself that makes manually adding subs way easier. It’s not automatic like the other tools mentioned but it’s still a huge time saver. Protip I noticed if you’re struggling to find a movie with it, just drop the imdb tt code into the name search box.

I had this movie at the top of my list stuck at 71% for at least two years. Hundreds of other torrents came and went. Its easier to find it these days.

Totally worth it
