@vaporeon_ @wallhackio wonder if you need to update yt-dlp? maybe youtube kids fucks up downloaders?
$ yt-dlp -U
Latest version: stable@2026.03.17 from yt-dlp/yt-dlp
yt-dlp is up to date (stable@2026.03.17 from yt-dlp/yt-dlp)
@vaporeon_ @aescling yt-dlp runs deno now to download yt videos which is probably the issue
@vaporeon_ @aescling huh then i dunno
@vaporeon_ @wallhackio @aescling youtube can probably detect it and block it regularly
@onfy @vaporeon_ @wallhackio caleb and i nearly took down the server by both trying to upload this video to GlitchCat at the same time lmao
@onfy @vaporeon_ @wallhackio two instances of ffmpeg at the same time used up well over 1GB of ram and consumed all the RAM the server had remaining
@aescling @vaporeon_ @wallhackio i think sleeping town just spits out the video as is
@onfy @vaporeon_ @wallhackio yeah i remember exa posting about getting tired of mastodon's terrible transcode quality lmao
@aescling @vaporeon_ @wallhackio a lot of mastodon is terrible and well, xey were the ones who taught me ffmpeg to begin with
yt-dlp output

@vaporeon_ @wallhackio secretly it was solving js-based challenges in hacky python the whole time but it's moved that out to a library that invokes any of a couple js runtimes because the devs got frustrated with dealing with that part of their codebase
needlessly purrovocative
@vaporeon_ @wallhackio they recommend deno but you can use node instead :3
@wallhackio @aescling A few days ago, I was able to watch YouTube videos without any Deno
