Just to add to what you just said. Eternity 0.2.1 “release is functionally identical to v0.2.0”
The main issue seems to be the instance you’re (OOP) currently on. If you do not want to migrate or want to wait to see if things will get resolved you can always browse in “anonymous” mode with a different instance than beehaw.
I have gotten the “there doesn’t seem to be anything here” error message a couple of times. Might be due to blocked or removed instances or posts (in my case at least).
Some lemmy apps (on Android) have different ways to handle things. I have been using Eterniry on and off after the recent update it got and I can tell it’s much faster than Jerboa for loading images and posts but the overall UI seems slower. I tried mulitple apps as well in the past and they all have their own sets of issues which is to be expected.
The rate limiting error may also be due to you logging onto multiple devices/apps at once. A few days ago I had the same issue when I logged off and logged back in with Jerboa and Eternity within a small interval of time.
If you suspect your ISP, test with proxies and wireguard obfuscation within the mullvad app on your phone (and desktop as well if you want more accurate results, like that you can have more than just one result from one device). Try also to change your country to one that is closer to you to see if you might see some difference. It could be that you get timed out by the servers you’re trying to reach with the VPN tunnel that you’re using.
I made a rough guide of my setup for someone wanting to download videos from their browser. Since Seal uses yt-dlp, it will work with Youtube as well.
Hope this can help you out
Glad that it was useful and that I could be of help.
Setup:
Download Seal and go to Settings > General. From there click on the update yt-dlp to make sure you’re on the latest yt-dlp build. No head to Custom command > New template. Put your label of choice and in the “Command template” section put in your custom command.
To create a good custom command I highly recommend you browse TheFrenchGhosty’s Ultimate YouTube-DL Scripts Collection’s Watch on Mobile Devices Script to get an idea of what you would want (I’ll give an example template later on based on theirs).
Once your command is done click “Done”. If you have not configured the output directory yet, go to Settings > Download directory > Custom command directory (Usually you’ll want this in the Download folder. On android: /storage/emulated/0/Download/<Name-Of-Your-Choosing> Make sure to have “Configure before download” under Settings > General, enabled. From there, exit the app.
Go to the app you want to download your media from (ie. Browser, Youtube). If you are in a browser, long press the url bar of your link and click “Share”. You will be presented a menu to share the selected link. Long press on the Seal icon marked as “Quick Download”. You will be presented with a way to pin the app. This will allow this specific app you’re in to have Seal be presented right away when you want to share a link and be prompted with the “Configure before download” menu. From there, select “Commands” as “Download type” and click on the template’s label you created earlier. You can now click “Download” and enjoy.
You could avoid the hussle of setting up a custom command and tweak a few things in the app’s offered options. I just prefer to use my usual commands that I use to download on my phone as well.
As for the command, here’s a short template I just made from modifying TheFrenchGhosty’s scripts as mentionned above (haven’t tested it but should theoritically work):
yt-dlp --format "(bestvideo[vcodec^=avc1][height=1080][fps>30]/bestvideo[vcodec^=avc1][height=1080]/bestvideo[vcodec^=avc1][height=720][fps>30]/bestvideo[vcodec^=avc1][height=720]/bestvideo[vcodec^=avc1][height=480][fps>30]/bestvideo[vcodec^=avc1][height=480]/bestvideo[vcodec^=avc1][height=360][fps>30]/bestvideo[vcodec^=avc1][height=360]/bestvideo[vcodec^=avc1][height=240][fps>30]/bestvideo[vcodec^=avc1][height=240]/bestvideo[vcodec^=avc1][height=144][fps>30]/bestvideo[vcodec^=avc1][height=144]/bestvideo[vcodec^=avc1])+(bestaudio[acodec^=mp4a]/bestaudio)/best" --force-ipv4 --sleep-requests 1 --sleep-interval 5 --max-sleep-interval 30 --ignore-errors --no-continue --no-overwrites --add-metadata --parse-metadata "%(title)s:%(meta_title)s" --parse-metadata "%(uploader)s:%(meta_artist)s" --no-write-description --check-formats --concurrent-fragments 4 --output "%(title)s - %(uploader)s (%(upload_date)s).%(ext)s --merge-output-format "mkv" --throttled-rate 100K
Not all the info here is relevant for each use cases but I hope this gives ideas and helps even a bit.
I was just confused and not sure wether it was or not. Thanks to the clarifications of you and others I now know.
Thanks for the helpful answer. I’ll have a look at that stand-up.
Something I forgot, if you are brave enough, replace the thermal paste with a good quality one. Recently I did it and since then I have seen a huge difference. Just make sure to disassemble everything so you can access the CPU and the radiator.
If you are technical enough you can use an Xposed module to prevent that. Like one that reduces the intake of energy while charging. Some ROMs also offer that built-in.
Try to see what your charger is. Maybe your phone is using “fast charging” which might make it charge faster but it will definitely get hotter. A charger that is compatible with your phone and without fast-charging capabilities might help your phone not be as hot.
Lastly, and this is less about the energy part and more about safety, make sure if you charge it unatended that it is away from anything flammable. While there is a very small change something like that would ever happen I wouldn’t take the risk.
I can definitely see that being a thing sadly.
So the post and comments refer to people who act in such a way mixed with the US politics because of how certain people make “jokes” about minorities that are oppressed and might be oppressed further in the worst case scenario, right?
I am quite confused. Can someone please explain why there seems to be hate towards those who like “dark humor”? I can understand that some try to hide behind the name when in reality they just want to bad-mouth minorities or their views, however I don’t see a problem with dark humor by itself.
I may be missing something since a lot of the comments and the post itself mentions US politics where there is a lot of tensions.
If you do not download often or don’t mind the longer time it might take you can do the following.
Before the URI (URL if you prefer) of the post, put view-source:, you can then proceed to search with the “Find in page” tool, or however it might be named for your android browser. In the case of this site you’ll usually search for mp4 files so just search “.mp4” and you should find the file you want to download.
Sometimes you might find different file extensions on the same site for the same type of post because the uploader’ files are directly the ones being posted and not converted by the site itself. In this case you can browse the source a little by searching for a potential name of the file or a HTML tag.
If that is too much of a hassle, I believe applications like Seal (found on FDroid) are able to download from such websites. There’s no reason for it not to since it uses yt-dlp.
Hope that helps.
PS: If you decide to use Seal I could share a very fast workflow if it happens to work.
You did mention a “main drive”. I don’t know what’s taking all that space on your SSD but if you have a media library that takes some space you could move that to a connected HDD. While HDDs aren’t good as a boot drive it does the job well enough with most “standard” quality media. So can be said for documents and more obviously. You can then auto-mount your other drive to be inside your home directory for seemless access.
One thing that isn’t mentionned but I’ll just say this just in case. Always have external backups. I’ve scared myself way too many times thinking I had lost my main drive’s data just to find it the next day on one of my backup. Really a life saver if your setup has a problem where you find that one forum post from 12y ago with a “Nvm I fixed it” marked as [FIXED].
Other than that, thanks for sharing and with the solution at that.
Please do share. What better thing to do than to take a break from a broken install to read about someone’s own hardship with the endless quest that is maintaining a rolling-release distro.
Like someone else said, it’s unlikely. However it is possible but it would need to exploit your media player (VLC) and/or your OS. As long as your source is trustworthy you shouldn’t have to worry, that’s why the megathread is there.
One thing I forgot to mention. On the deep/dark web nothing is monitored the way the clearweb is, meaning even if you try to avoid some things, you might stumble upon disturbing things. Maybe not images, but walls of texts or something else. My biggest advice if you want to find fun and/or interesting sites would be to look into webrings that either mirror on the dark web from the clearnet or direclty using safe search engines. I can recommend Yesterweb to start with since they not only have a big webring but also a page dedicated to interesting sites liked by the community.
Ahmia is a great search engine. They have a policy that explicitely states that they do not list cp content and they actively remove them on a regular basis if they suddenly pop-up. There used to be some sites that had lists of great and interesting onions but sadly the way onions are shown, many false duplicates showed up and now it’s impossible to find the real original sites (mainly thinking about “the hidden wiki”). If you use Whonix, they have a startpage of their own for Tor browser which lists good and reputable search engines for the network. Hope that somewhat helps.
