Cevilia (she/they/…)

38 she/her or they/them or any pronoun. Cis woman… I think. I pretend to be an elf on the Internet. I’m mostly attracted to femininity.

I use tone indicators.

  • Cloanto, the company that owns the rights to the Commodore Amiga line, have a legal emulator that they sell called Amiga Forever. It’s about half the price of one modern AAA game, and when you download it, it comes with about fifty games of varying notability, and there’s many times more you can just install and play. And it’s all legal.

    I would love this to be the industry norm, imagine being able to download a NES! It’s annoying that if we want future generations to be able to experience games of the past (whether to learn from them, or just for pleasure) we need to teach our children about piracy.







  • It varies based on the age of the video, newer ones do indeed have separate audio downloads. You can force audio only with

    yt-dlp -f bestaudio <url>

    This will cause the script to only consider audio-only formats, if bandwidth is a concern. However, how it decides which one is “best” is beyond me. For example, I tried one video and got a webm that contains only an audio track:

    ~ $ yt-dlp -f bestaudio https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ
