Liked Videos and Liked Music are private playlists, they have a generic URL and you can only access them by being logged in. I have two methods to download Liked Videos:

  • Install a desktop app video downloader, most of them have the option to download an entire playlist.

  • They also have an option to add a cookies file so you can download private playlists, such as Liked Videos or Watch Later

  • Log in to YouTube in your browser

  • Export the cookies from the browser

  • Import them to the desktop app

  • Download Liked Videos

That's what you're supposed to do, however i never got that to work. If it doesn't work, you can transfer all your liked videos from the private playlist to a public playlist. Here's what i do:

  • Create a new playlist called Downloads, and make it public; it now has its own specific URL, unlike the generic URL of Liked VIdeos

  • Install the YouTube Multiselect browser extention

  • Use Multiselect to select every video in Liked Videos and add it to Downloads

  • Use the desktop app to download the Downloads playlist

This is how i download my private playlists like Watch Later or Liked Videos, i assume it also works for Liked Music

If you gotta make space then you gotta make space. If it's relatively popular things then there's always gonna be someone

Time is essential, a high seed ratio is indication of time spent seeding more than anything else

My thinking is that i'll start deleting stuff when i run out of space, which it turns out will never happen because 4Tb is apparently enough to store more movies than i'll ever want to watch.

So 2k+ movies are just sitting there passively seeding in the background and i just kinda let them. I really don't know which ones are rare, but surely i must have saved a couple torrents from dying over the years. I know there's a lot of churn in seeders so i feel good being long-term

Yeah, that's what landlords figure

I see a lot of older Linux distros in this thread, why do that many people download them?

[–] 0range@lemmy.dbzer0.com 17 points 9 months ago

Tixati.

I use it mostly because it has a lot more options and flexibility, and also just because i'm already using it and it's a pain in the ass to switch

 

For me it's YIFY versions of older movies

I started writing this comment about how my highest seeding ratios seem random, but actually now that i look at it i do see a pattern: YIFY versions of older movies. Maybe those are the ones less available? Some possibly are public domain?

You're going to be opening that package often over a short period. I don't think it's useful to tie it down too tightly, and i especially don't think it's useful to introduce accessories (clip, bottle hack), you'll have to deal with them every single time you open the bag.

It's also just a fucking bread bag, you don't need to secure it so firmly.

Twist and tuck or just tucking, maybe tying a knot if it's going to get jostled a bit (going camping)

Yeah, the way that i would do it is to look up the Wikipedia page for the movie Heat and go to the cast section.

This is how i always look for information and it can actually be to my detriment. Like that time i went to Reddit to ask them what that movie was where time is a currency, and somebody pointed out that i could have just googled "time is money movie" and it would have immediately shown me In Time (2011).

Also, when i want something from an app or website i will consult the alphabetical list or look for a link to click, instead of just using the search bar.

I don't know, somehow it never entered my brain that search bars are smart and can figure out what you meant if you use natural language. Even though they've been programmed that way since before i was born

If, like me, you just wanted to know what the Bob Dylan defence is:

"Meta's response in this case seems to be that a powerful technology corporation should not be held to the same standard as everyone else for illegal conduct."

The authors mocked Meta for raising what they call "the Bob Dylan defense" of its torrenting, citing song lyrics from "Sweetheart Like You" that say, "Steal a little and they throw you in jail / Steal a lot and they make you king."
