`pip3 install --user --upgrade youtube-dl`

still works. I wonder, did PyPI get a bogus DMCA takedown notice, too?

@metbril most registrars are only barely technically competent, and their DNS panels suck, have weird bugs, and sometimes don't support DNSSEC

speaking of reasons not to upgrade:

why is there a Dockerfile in my home directory, and why does it being there instill such fear into me and make me immediately question if i'm living in a simulation

@resynth1943 i don't know about that

ha, was there no 11.0.0 released at all, or was it only for the DTK? can only seem to download 11.0.1.

nothing like 10,000 uniques per hour all day to provide incentive to finally update /index.html eh?

He's absolutely right.

i think i just hit some dockerhub pull limits, ugh

@hopeless no, this whole thing is an exercise to *prevent* remote code execution

@thor @dajbelshaw okay, now use the eyes of a human being, not us robots. also note that i specified the zero or compute module.

i got a link in DM to a text document today that required JS, but the DM was from a stranger, so I didn't open it. I remember when the web didn't suck this bad.

@thor @dajbelshaw sure, in a weirdo interpretation. i'm talking about standard LAPTOP COMPUTERS. general purpose machines. a raspberry pi zero or compute module is a "general purpose computer" if you squint hard enough but that's not the topic.

What's more worrisome: OSes that spy on you, hardware that enforces spyware OSes, or the fact that you can't use pretty much any of the modern internet without executing arbitrary, untrusted code on a JIT built and distributed in binary form by a giant multinational advertising company that has a PRISM api?

perhaps it's time for a web browser that uses a non-JIT js interpreter, even if it's 20x slower.

maybe all my friends and i can split the cost of a POWER9 machine and then we could install some sort of software on it that permits us to share the time on the large, expensive cpu. a time-sharing system, perhaps?
