One obvious issue with both these downloaders is lack of proper modularization. Which greatly hinders adoption, I believe. I would expect some kind of plugin system. Naturally, there are attempts to fix that: https://github.com/un-def/dl-plus is one example. As a bonus that would help greatly with recent youtube-dl sort of situations and RIAA would have barely made a splash. Plenty of other features immediately come…

Jdownloader has the aesthetic of sketchy windows freeware from a bygone era. I tried it once, then uninstalled it a minute later. youtube-dl also integrates well with other tools or autonomous workflows; for example mpv invokes it to stream media from the web without downloading it to the disk.

That's exactly what the weboob project aims to do: modularize backends (ie website) and applications so you can "use" website content the way you want

I always run it under a separate user account because it looks so sketchy

I thought it was sketchy by association. It used to be always recommended by sketchy pirate sites to bypass the download limits on sketchy one-click-hosters

> youtube-dl sort of situations and RIAA would have barely made a splash

First - that wouldn't be good, such situations should make big splashes. Second - removing a YouTube plug-in from YouTube-DL would make a significant splash anyway.

Huh, I thought it was properly FOSS albeit with a plea for subscriptions, but that's much worse. Evidently my gut instinct was right.

Glad to see ArtStation is included. Might finally give me enough impetus to write a script to change my wallpaper daily

The following will give you "#1 wallpaper of the day" as decided by the wise folks at Reddit: curl -A 'random' "https://www.reddit.com/r/wallpaper/top.json?t=day&limit=1 | jq -r '.data.children[0].data.preview.images[0].source.url' | sed 's/preview\./i\./g' And if you're a Mac user, the following will change the background: osascript -e 'tell application "Finder" to set desktop picture to POSIX file " "' Glueing thes…

The call to curl is missing a closing " pair. Besides, it seems some people submit a low-res image at the post, then post another link as the first reply, which is the case today:

https://preview.redd.it/b2ihaxu2i5261.jpg?width=640&crop=sma...

Care to adjust the jq a bit to look for both, then maybe somehow compare the resolution of the two and download the better one?

This comment comes up every time weboob is mentioned, but it'd probably see much better adoption if it was named anything other than "we boob". It's a bit of an off-putting name.

ah ok there's xhamster. for a second there I thought this was useless.

There's also one for Luscious.net; they basically have all the major h-sites and x-sites.

I imagine that that's a big source for people to download.

I think it is OSS [1], although all the code is in Subversion and I don't see a web interface. I haven't dug through it much, but poking around inside the "trunk" module, I see files with headers that say they're GPLv3.

EDIT: Here's a Git mirror of trunk [2]. See, e.g., this file [3].

not sure if this is sarcasm, but photos you liked aren't yours so this would be violating their privacy rules.

I'm perfectly serious; i want to download a bunch of stupid memes that my account has liked and saved into various groups in my account over the years. They're public photos that shitpost accounts have posted.

If you find a way, please comment here again.I have saved thousands of posts and even sorted them. I desperately want to download them before nuking my account.
