If you’re into watching YouTube: You can add channels as RSS into your reader. The latest 15 videos are offered via the feeds. All you need is the channel ID of the channel whose feed you want to access.

The channel ID is not visible anywhere on the page, but if you look at the DOM in the web browser via the developer console, you will find a meta entry <link rel="canonical" href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/CHANNEL_ID"> in the <head>, where CHANNEL_ID is the required ID. There are also websites that can be found quickly and easily using the appropriate keywords, which read out and return the ID associated with the provided handle.

https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=CHANNEL_ID

If you have a lot of subscriptions, you can use Google Takeout at takeout.google.com and export the YouTube subscriptions as a CSV file. The CSV file contains the subscribed channels with their ID and title for you to parse into whatever format you need for your reader.

For Newsboat you can use this script on the Abos.csv from my Google Takeout archive:

while IFS="," read id url name; do
  feedURL="https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=%24%7Bid%7D"
  [ ! -z "${id}" ] && echo "$feedURL youtube videos \"~${name}\""
done < <(tail -n +2 Abos.csv) >> urls

Edit: Seems like, Lemmy messes up the code formatting, but you get the gist …


QC was such a fun ride…

It clearly had it’s moments. There were some weirdly questionable strips. I’m not following it anymore since a few years but I’m happy to see it’s still running.


He has unlimited money. I am pretty sure he doesn’t really care.


Here in Germany we learn that in school in 3rd or 4th grade (ca 9-10 years of age).


Same here. I have no clue what the latest things to watch, read, or listen to are. And I don’t think I miss out on anything. I also get almost none of the references.


5 gallons is circa 19 liters. So when the liquid is water, then you don’t need to use the 100 ml container. 1 liter of water weights 1 kilogram, so put the 5 gallons bucket on a scale and pur in 19 kilograms of water.


100 ml is pretty easy to use. You can multiply it or divide it evenly without having to think at all.


Not at all, no. The US government is and always was extremely nationalistic (not nationalist, not national socialist, those are different things) and by being that, there were and are groups that do whatever they need to do to achieve their goals (i.e. β€œnot the goals of the opposite party”). Let it be assassination, bribery, or downright capitalism.

I would actually be extremely surprised if the republicans are not somehow involved in killing a democratic president. (I wouldn’t be surprised if it was the other way round, too.)


And then there are people outside the USA not even knowing if it’s the 11th of May or the 5th of November.


If you’re lucky they have an Atom or RSS feed somewehere. (Even if it just may be one from their back-end so they can show the articles on their news page). You could then put that in an RSS reader of your choice.

If you have some scripting experience you could check out Newsboat. You can use a script as source there, and that script then scrapes the their website and generates an Atom feed from raw HTML parsing.


German here.

I am not writing anything in my code in German. All of my code, my variables, my default texts, my comments, my documentation, my UI strings, etc. are always and explicitly in English.

The only German I use, is when I provide translations for UI or documentation.



and it might be hard to find these β€œreal/verified” biodegradable balloons

Also, β€œbiodegradable” often means β€œin recycling facilities in a controlled environment using special machines and processing” when it comes to β€œbiodegradable plastics” and not β€œjust throw them anywhere and nature will handle it”.


halfway through

So they not only fired the translator, they also don’t check if it at least looks correct. This says a lot more about Gizmodo than just firing the translator.


Sleep, laundry, groceries shopping. In this order.
