I tend to have issues with Freetube, but almost never with yt-dlp (including earlier today). However sometimes it does depend on the exit node of my VPN, or I have to use `torsocks` very occasionally.
Yep. I feel that way about sites that block VPN/tor use. If they won't allow me to use their site, so be it. I'll find another service provider/vendor and put them in my rear view.
In terms of yt-dlp though, not sure if this is the issue, but I usually use it with a spoofed --user-agent string based on whatever's the latest/popular one is for m$ winblows. I suspect that helps somewhat, and might be worth a shot.
I'm sorry to hear that. I don't know if this will help or not, but it might come in handy if you can get any of those people to honestly go down the list and rate their experience.
Most people are socially conditioned to follow a group, rather than to exercise critical thinking and steer their own path independently. Also cult leaders are typically armed with techniques to maintain control, such as imposing social isolation from outsiders, instilling an "us vs them" mentality through in-group lingo, various hypnotic techniques and language, etc. Those unfamiliar with the con-artist manipulation tactics will fall under the spell extremely easily.
It's not limited to religion, but is also quite evident in online spaces (including fedi) where groups essentially construct their own fantasy realities populated with strawmen based on a tiny subsection of congruent real world examples. Constantly reinforcing that shared narrative through incessant repetition and elaboration, creates groupthink and a sense of shared identity, even if it's essentially based on a cycle of self-reinforcing toxicity.
Gotcha. I am a big fan of using the standard libraries for as much as possible. It actually gets on my nerves and is a red flag when people use various frameworks and other syntactic sugar for things which are already present in the core libs. I also avoid libraries which have too many dependencies to parse/review manually. Coming (professionally) from a Perl background originally, that's always been rather irksome (vis-a-vis cpan) and I've learned to check with the $experts when in doubt about what's best/safest to use.
Oh I see. You mean `apt-get install node-whatever`. That's certainly an option, but also means usually accepting being about 10 minor versions or more behind the curve. Also the amount of 3rd-party packages that end up in the apt repos is extremely limited unless you like continually reinventing the wheel.
What nodejs distros do you use? How does that apply to 3rd-party packages?
Personally I don't write node professionally. At least not atm, apart from some minor personal projects TBD and stuff that'll never be published publicly. So this is good to know in case I get related $work.
I also run opensnitch which preempts external connections until verified, and I suppose if I were super paranoid I could also `strace`. I don't have any crypto (and do own a hardware wallet if I ever do), so the only real concern for me personally atm is maybe ransom-ware.
Agreed. But that setting does cover *the majority* of supply chain attack situations. Another option is using a VM, and being very selective and sparing when choosing external dependencies. It may not prevent accidentally shipping <bad thing>, but at least it mitigates the risks during development. The time between dev and prod is usually sufficient to weed out any malware. also package-lock.json
I don't grovel before an imaginary super Jew for one thing. Unlike you, who's apparently proud of it, while spewing (((kike))) out the other side of your (((semen))) laden mouth.
