@SmilingTexan I think they've blocked off a pretty large perimeter around the Whitehouse and then a separate perimeter around the Capitol building itself. I could see how it could take that many to secure such a large area.
Anyone aware of a simple youtube-dl webgui that doesn't have a ton of dependencies or a complicated setup? I'd love a simple app I could throw on a RPi that I could paste a URL into and it would be downloaded for me.
I could hack something up Python/Flask pretty quickly but I already have too many started-but-unfinished projects.
@SmilingTexan What is not adding up? I'm sure you are aware of the events at the Capitol last week. I'm guessing they do not want a repeat of many armed, violent, and misinformed people coming shockingly close to laying their hands on elected officials with the intent of doing harm.
@doliu666 I think it’s pretty clear they don’t want extremists coordinating on their site. I’m not for “censorship” either but I don’t think a company MUST host extreme junk.
Updating list of charges from the Capitol riots.
