Yt-dlp can use user authentication to pull videos as well. The flags are -u (username) and -p (password) . Example: yt-dlp -u username -p password url-goes-here . Hope this helps. The more we can rely on programs that we run on our own machines, the better. Even better if it's free software.

I installed in on my machine from the software package manager. It doesn't have the feature to bind to a specific device (this is a must have for me so I can use my VPN without IP address leakage). I read a horror story on hacker news about a person getting fragmented CSAM on their hard drive by running an exit node (running an exit node is trivially easy with the program). Noped out after not being able to bind to tun0. I went to their website, mostly academics polishing research papers from my point of view. Sketchy looking ui, uninstalled.

Torrents are p2p and can be encrypted but aren't anonymous. Tribler claims to be tor-like and no trust needed i.e. anonymous.

Just use an account that's not tied to your identity and be your true self. Some people will or won't like what you have to say, no matter what you say. Dont take it personally in either case.

Whalefunk seconded. It's awesome and can be buggy, but worth it, if only for new stuff.

This idea is brilliant! How hard would you say swapping from using apt to learning and swapping to nix be? This is a serious question.

Rsync on a scheduled task is dead simple. If your friend can stomach WSL (Windows subsystem for Linux) being on the machine you might try using that. The command is a one liner:

$rsync -r /path/to/source /path/to/backup

and can be automated with cron.

For me: get enough sleep and/or do exercise. Getting 9 hours is my ideal but I settle for 7 more often than I should. As for exercise: running, hitting the heavy bag, jump rope, rowing, weight lifting, swimming, walking, VR boxing (got too sweaty for it to be a long term thing), rock climbing; all these things have been good over the years or whatever you want. Cortisol builds up in your system and exercise breaks it down. You can't be stressed if you're exhausted. I think of the two as shielding and loading. Sleep increases my shielding from stressors and exercise decreases my baseline stress load. The two together are the actual answer, in my opinion.

Free software!!
