  1. I didn't notice at the time, but a new @armbian release with Debian Trixie as one of the images dropped in August:

    9to5linux.com/armbian-25-8-rel

    I found this out because I started poking at the #NanoPi M4 at 2am after asking my housemate for access to his media box. I started cutting back my consumption of Youtube sludge a month ago or so (using the #Unhook browser extension), and as a result might start watching some TV again after like 4 years with no TV or cinema. and the NanoPi is in the perfect spot to be a media player.

    I probably won't upgrade to Trixie on it unless playback performace of HEVC demands it, I previously spent like 3 days getting the desktop set up how I like, and Armbian recommends a fresh install rather than a Debian style upgrade.

  2. I recently installed the Unhook browser plugin for Youtube (unhook.app/), and it *almost* turns it into something resembling a reasonable video platform. The main features:

    * Hide recommended videos to the side
    * Hide recommended videos at the end of a video
    * Hide shorts
    * Hide "trending videos"
    * Replace the home screen with my subscriptions

    Together with uBlock origin and SponsorBlock (which I already had installed) I can now actually (gasp) watch videos! I still wish more creators would put their videos on PeerTube or other platforms not owned by Big Tech, but in the meantime it's something.

  8. @karthink thank you! These seem to be some pretty awesome scripts! There's one for searching that would be super useful for me.

    Though part of the reason for this project is trying to avoid most of the distractions of the YouTube interface (I'm an #unhook) user, so recommendations are definitely out
