Setting up yt_dlp w/ Qnap & Plex for Youtube Download

I’ve been wanting to get some youtube series onto my plex server for a while for archival purposes, and, cause, fuck ads amirite? I pieced together some various scripts I found to mostly automate the process on my QNAP nas, that also houses my Plex server. Most of everything I found was for youtube-dl which doesn’t appear to work as well as the fork yt-dl so I opted to use that for this....

Pwnagotchi on a Raspberry Pi 3 with Adafruit 3.5 LCD

The other day I stumbled across Pwnagotchi and had to give it a try. I didn’t have a Pi Zero WH but, I did have a Pi3 with 3.5" LCD, so I wanted to see if I could get it all working as a test platform before trying to find the PIZero. This isn’t really supported, but it does seem to work for testing purposes anyway so I thought I’d put this up for anyone else who wants to try....

GOES Full-Disc Animations in Linux

Your browser does not support the video tag. If you’ve seen my other tutorials/note-drops on receiving GOES imagery and how to delete all the extra GOES files you might also be interested in generating an animated gif/movie of your files.

UPDATED GOES removal script for Linux

Recently I made this tutorial on receiving GOES images, and I had previously posted a little script for keeping everything clean. It’s now been updated slightly for new paths according to the howto I created. Not very complicated. First create your script $ nano /home/radio/goes_remove_old.sh Then, paste this in # DELETE FILES older than 7 days in the emwin directory find /var/www/html/goes/emwin/* -type f -mtime +7 -exec rm -f {} \; # DELETE ENTIRE DIRECTORIES older than 7 days and 14 days for NWS find /var/www/html/goes/goes16/m1/* -type d -mtime +7 -exec rm -rf {} \; find /var/www/html/goes/goes16/m2/* -type d -mtime +7 -exec rm -rf {} \; find /var/www/html/goes/goes16/non-cmip/* -type d -mtime +7 -exec rm -rf {} \; find /var/www/html/goes/goes16/fd/* -type d -mtime +7 -exec rm -rf {} \; find /var/www/html/goes/goes18/fd/* -type d -mtime +7 -exec rm -rf {} \; find /var/www/html/goes/nws/* -type d -mtime +14 -exec rm -rf {} \; Exit and save the file....
