what are some ways to torify debian 13.6 or yt-dlp 2026.07.04 if yt believes I'm a bot?

If you use yt-dlp through tor it will be worse: 403 almost every request. I don't know if youtube treats tor exit nodes different or it's because other people also uses that address and generates a strange behavior which youtube flags.

What's works best for me is using my own residential ip and waiting like an hour between downloads. Throttling doesn't seem to help.

Regarding how to torify, you can install tor with apt and it will act like a proxy. Then you can use yt-dlp proxy settings

Looking for peoplecs experiences with Systemd-less distros for a home server

I use artix for my work and personal servers. There are a few kvm hosts and several virtual machines with internet facing services such as dns, web, mail, wireguard. On the way to be fully gitopsed with ansible. Sometimes I borrow specific packages from arch repos but almost everything can be made with artix alone. The only notable issue I had was with cloud-init which I replaced with more complex playbooks and bash scripts. Ama
