Downloading a video should be “fair use” as recording a song from the radio

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on news.ycombinator.com

Our great sponsors
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • MeTube

    Self-hosted YouTube downloader (web UI for youtube-dl / yt-dlp)

  • I selfhost https://github.com/alexta69/metube

    I have it sitting on a URL and I have an iOS share shortcut to throw any URL at it and it downloads the video.

    Copy-paste from my ansible setup if you're interested, shouldn't be that hard to convert to docker-compose.

        - name: Build metube options separately, avoids inline JSON in metube setup

  • servitor

    A command-line Fediverse client that doesn’t require a server

  • In principle, if you want the post and comments without JS you can just pull the underlying ActivityPub document (application/activity+json). I made a command-line browser based on this idea: https://github.com/bentonedmondson/servitor

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • veilid

  • a friendly reminder that (a) ipfs is only as alive as there are seeders and (b) seeders ips are public just like bittorrent

    There was a recent Cult of the Dead Cow release that claims "encrypt all the things, Tor but for phones" or some such but I haven't studied it to know how much is aspirational https://gitlab.com/veilid/veilid#welcome-to-veilid https://twitter.com/VeilidNetwork https://nitter.net/VeilidNetwork

  • bandcamp-downloader

    Download your bandcamp collection using this python script.

  • Bandcamp is what I use.

    One thing to note, is that the artist/label retain full control of what music is present, and as such can be removed at any time, even ones you paid for. See: https://get.bandcamp.help/hc/en-us/articles/4406122372119-Wh...

    I use https://github.com/easlice/bandcamp-downloader to immediately archive flac files to my NAS after a purchase, then convert to those to a lossy for space saving format for mobile playback/family sharing as desired with a playlist. This way I have my archive, and the artists I like get their support.
