sometimes youtube believes I’m a bot and won’t allow downloading stuff from them with yt-dlp 2026.07.04 on debian 13.6.

I could torify the whole computer, so next time I open a terminal and execute yt-dlp it uses tor by default. Sadly, I don’t know how to do that.

Another way would be to torify only yt-dlp, but neither do I know how to do that.

Changing the mac address and hostname did nothing.

Can you help?

after a year or so hiatus I reinstalled i2p on my debian.

I don’t think I’m going to use it much: I enjoyed using it to torrent files and to ask about censorship circumvention, things I now have alternatives to.

why is this network still relevant?
