In a future where limiting words somehow makes people happy, some are still enthralled by contraband media.
Moody and good; recommended. It has more literary references than any three years worth of movies.

I really don't know. Something about aliens who want to archive humanity for some reason.
It's strange and shifts focus: Terrible.

A really straightforward and damned-fast file synchronization tool.
It might have been great, but it was abandoned. Reproducibly nonfunctional.

Abandoned
Alex Kaufman, of Mailwarrior fame, vanished from the net.
I was curious; this wasn't particularly thorough.

Downloads the comments on YouTube videos.
Used to be available at ytcomments.klostermann.ca but that IP got banned because of overuse.
- WARNING - Do not overuse this program, or maybe you will get IP-banned. The authors' GUI website did.

See my youtube-comment-scraper.sh script for how I use it.

Everything is frail to failure. Be it hardware, software, data, business relationships, or people, nothing is immortal and immutable.
Many things are immediately recognized; the hardware and software, but we fail to see people; the wetware. They represent the intellectual backbone of major projects, the "wet infrastructure" upon which our technology relies, and when they cannot contribute, their projects suffer and we suffer. Their influence isn't just notable, but critical.
For the internet, esr calls them Load-Bearing Internet People.

A commandline downloader for YouTube videos and playlists (and not comments). Also works for a surprising number of other websites.
It has no competition, so I guess I can say that it'll have to do, but it really is good.
