The "Robert Elder's Favourite Linux Command" YouTube playlist is my favorite YouTube playlist (yewtu.be)

I watched the "Robert Elder's Favourite Linux Command" YouTube playlist and learned a lot of ways to improve upon my scripts in Linux.

Unrelated, but have you been able to use piped recently?

I realized I didn't test a video to see if it worked on the instance. Switched to an invidious instance that is working for me.

Is invidious generally serving you well as of recently? Or do you have to fish for a working instance? I ask because Piped has not worked for some weeks now, and I absolutely refuse to use YouTube's own frontend.

Feel free to ignore me in case you feel I'm derailing the thread too much

In any case, thanks for the playlist, as a Linux semi-beginner, it is sure to help me some

I tend to have to fish for instances, whether it's Piped (which I believe hasn't been working for a while) or Invidious, especially those that have the latest patches. It's a war between YouTube and privacy frontends, so I constantly switch between multiple apps on my phone and the web instances. Grayjay on Android has been the most reliable.

I'm happy the playlist helped you. One of my favorite commands I learned and wasn't familiar with is the mkfifo command. This command is really handy as I didn't know it was possible to save a pipe into memory without needing to make a temporary file.
