    • it's about to get harder to use this tool to gain access to youtube information

      • [Announcement] Upcoming new requirements for YouTube downloads · Issue #14404 · yt-dlp/yt-dlp

        • The relationship between yt-dlp and the JS runtime will be analogous to the relationship between yt-dlp and ffmpeg. You need to bring your own ffmpeg, but yt-dlp can still do a lot of things without it.
          

        • Currently, yt-dlp relies on a complicated set of regex patterns to identify the necessary functions in the YouTube player JS, and relies on even more regex to try and interpret that JavaScript code natively within Python.
          

        • So the regex-based approach has been abandoned in favor of an AST-based approach (https://github.com/yt-dlp/ejs), which should allow us to respond much more quickly to changes in the player JS, even as its obfuscation increases.
          

        • Deno is sandboxed by default and does not allow filesystem or network access. This is essential to protect our less-technically-inclined users. It also comes as a single-file portable executable, making its "installation" comparable to that of ffmpeg (which is something that all of our users should already be familiar with.)
          

        • Another obstacle we are facing in the near future is YouTube's proof-of-origin (PO) token requirement being enforced for all YT player clients. Implementing a built-in solution to this will also require JavaScript functionality which far exceeds that of our native jsinterp module. So we chose a runtime that would be able to handle the JS challenges (n parameter/signature cipher) as well as PO token generation in the future.
          

      • PO Token Guide · yt-dlp/yt-dlp Wiki

        • Proof of Origin (PO) Token is a parameter that YouTube requires to be sent with requests from some clients. Without it, requests for the affected clients' format URLs may return HTTP Error 403, or result in your account or IP address being blocked.
          

        • A PO Token is generated by an attestation provider on Web, Android and iOS platforms to attest the requests are coming from a genuine client.

    • 2025-10-11 Sat

      • Filed rulesync/GitHub/Issue/25/10/README clarification on simulated subagents and commands i388 README clarification on simulated commands and subagents · Issue #388 · dyoshikawa/rulesync

        • I think the README section on simulated commands and subagents could be clearer.
        • I think of "simulated" commands like when I at-mention a specific cursor project rule (Project Rules | Cursor Docs: rule type Manual are "Only included when explicitly mentioned using @ruleName"). I think I have an idea of what these are because I think I used them in Cursor in the bmad-code-org/BMAD-METHOD: Breakthrough Method for Agile Ai Driven Development.
        • Specifically, I think having an explanation for the motivation for why they exist and when one might want to use them or why they are necessary (e.g. in Claude Code you could do /pr-review but in Cursor you need to do @pr-review) as well what the caveats are for them would be helpful.
        • My understanding is that one would only ever use "simulated" commands or subagents in an agentic coding tool that didn't actually support commands or subagents.
        • Right now the readme says,

          • This is useful for shortening your prompts.
            

        • This part makes me think I don't understand them the same way. Can you help me understand how they shorten prompts?
        • Commands in general do save on context relative to rules ... is that what you meant?

      • Filed rulesync/GitHub/Issue/25/10/Documentation clarification on globs i389

        • The documentation could benefit from some clarifications on how the globs parameter impacts different coding agents.

          
          My thoughts about what belongs in documentation for a library may be subtly changing due to deepwiki, though. I used rulesync/DeepWiki #DeepWiki rulesync's deepwiki to answer the following questions. Who knows, maybe in the future we will just use these types of auto-generated documentation with attached chatbots instead of fixing every use case into prose.
          

          • What formats of globs can I use in rulesync?

            • Suspected answer (deepwiki):

              • The glob implementation is handled by the standard glob library's globSync
                

          • Are the globs relative to the root directory?

            • Suspected answer (deepwiki):

              • Yes, glob patterns are relative to the project root directory. The implementation ... resolves patterns relative to the current working directory (the project root).
                

          • What if I reference a file path in a project rule or a command? Some tools have specific syntaxes for this; for example, claude code has both file-relative "import" syntax @docs/git-instructions.md and project-relative "import" syntax @~/.claude/my-project-instructions.md, and cursor has a similar @path/to/file/from/project/root syntax

            • Suspected answer (deepwiki):

              • Rulesync does not currently perform automatic conversion of file path references between different tools' syntaxes. When you write content in .rulesync/rules/.md or .rulesync/commands/.md files, the body content is passed through to tool-specific files without modification. ... The @ symbol you mentioned appears in rulesync's reference section generation, but this is a different feature.

        • With JetBrains tools, there are many hacks needed to get something working. I started creating tickets in their YouTrack for every bug I encounter, so far I got 6 within just one day of playing around. Most issues actually resolve around the whole WSL setup or corporate things (like internal Artifactory or internal Proxies for networking) or plain missing features/configs from the DevContainer specification.
