yt-dlp for downloading videos from various websites.

[-] mspong@aussie.zone 9 points 1 year ago

This one is amazing, especially when you realise various websites means, nearly any streaming platform. SoundCloud, Mixcloud, Bandcamp etc, it knows them and can download whole archives of files. As we watch Twitter and Reddit totter and crumble it's time to realise this will happen with the sites that host your favourite podcast, unless you make offline copies
