A friend of mine is a musician. About a decade or two ago I went over to his house and he said that he had to get a new fan to fix his computer. I asked him what was going on, so he turned it on and I heard that tick-tick-tick of the read head. I had to let him know it was his hard drive. He had a lot backed up, but not everything, and not the stuff he'd been working on the past couple weeks. Just a bummer. But he did set up a backup program after that.

I configured the newsboat rss reader for my youtube subscriptions, but you may want to configure another reader that allows you to download/watch videos. An alternative to @[email protected]'s javascript code, you can go onto the homepage of a youtube channel, open up the page source and search for "rssurl". That will give you the rss feed for the channel.

A lot of readers can do this automatically. It really is nice to watch videos without any of the suggestions or ads. Also, if you use mpv to watch the videos, you can install a sponsorblock script that does away with the paid promotions in the video.

The Republican party has led the initial charge, with a series of claims about extraterrestrial life that, until recently, would have been seen as career-ending.

LOL, more distraction from one party's inability to do their freaking job. It's funny that 1) alien visitors cross unfathomable distances using what must be technology far, far, in advance of anything we have, yet "crash" and 2) These "crashes" only happen in the US, or the US quickly swoops in to take all evidence of this from foreign countries.

tl;dr Americans are so self-centered and narcissistic it's painful at times.

pdfimages is what you want, I believe. It's in the poppler-utils package in Debian.

That just brings me back to starting the compile, getting something to eat, doing chores, and whatever else. Then when it was finally done, booting it up only for it to not boot because I forgot some checkbox. Repeat a couple of times. Nights getting the thing working. And then on the next kernel release, trying to make sure I remembered all the checks because it didn't let you export the current config back then.

"World" news?

If a website doesn't want me to see their shit, then I guess i won't see their shit. I already have some sites that don't work because of my aggressive use of lists on my pihole, in addition to the usual browser plugins. If a site doesn't work now, I just move on. I don't give a shit about any site enough to put up with this type of bullshit.

It will never happen, for so many reasons.

I don't even understand why it's become taboo. Sure, I'll go along with current bullshit group think, just to lubricate the means of communication, but what the fuck?
