I configured the newsboat
rss reader for my youtube subscriptions, but you may want to configure another reader that allows you to download/watch videos. An alternative to @cow@lemmy.world’s javascript code, you can go onto the homepage of a youtube channel, open up the page source and search for “rssurl”. That will give you the rss feed for the channel.
A lot of readers can do this automatically. It really is nice to watch videos without any of the suggestions or ads. Also, if you use mpv
to watch the videos, you can install a sponsorblock script that does away with the paid promotions in the video.
I almost ordered an Orange Pi5 yesterday. I realized I still have a couple RPi4s around, and I’d just be spending money on something I really don’t need. I’m waiting for a good excuse though, the reviews looked pretty solid. What are your impressions?
