I’ve launched a new project: PodcastMaker. TLDR: It is a program that converts YouTube channels into real podcast feeds complete with video enclosures.
The real star of the show is youtube-dl, which does all the video downloading and hard work. To get started, check out the repository and the Readme.
Feel free to contribute, submit bugs, or just let me know how its working for you. PodcastMaker is released into the Public Domain and uses the Unlicense, just like youtube-dl. Feel free to fork it, build things with it, whatever you want to do. This code is truly unencumbered. Go have fun. Or not.

I recently re-installed Gnome 3 on my Debian Sid machine and I quickly realized why I left for XFCE. The damn Gnome Keyring trying to rule my life (and ssh-agent). Here’s what I found to fix it.
I’m linking and mirroring these steps in case the original sources ever go away.
mkdir ~/.config/autostart
cp /etc/xdg/autostart/gnome-keyring-ssh.desktop ~/.config/autostart/ &&
printf '%s\n' 'Hidden=true' >> ~/.config/autostart/gnome-keyring-ssh.desktop
printf '%s\n' 'X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=false' >> ~/.config/autostart/gnome-keyring-ssh.desktop
printf '%s\n' 'NoDisplay=true' >> ~/.config/autostart/gnome-keyring-ssh.desktop
sudo dpkg-divert --local --rename --divert /etc/xdg/autostart/gnome-keyring-gpg.desktop-disable --add /etc/xdg/autostart/gnome-keyring-gpg.desktop
On Arch Linux, the following works really great (should work on all systemd-based distros):
Create a systemd user service, by putting the following to ~/.config/systemd/user/ssh-agent.service:
[Unit]
Description=SSH key agent
[Service]
Type=forking
Environment=SSH_AUTH_SOCK=%t/ssh-agent.socket
ExecStart=/usr/bin/ssh-agent -a $SSH_AUTH_SOCK
[Install]
WantedBy=default.target
Setup shell to have an environment variable for the socket (.bash_profile, .zshrc, ...):
export SSH_AUTH_SOCK="$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/ssh-agent.socket"
Enable the service, so it’ll be started automatically on login, and start it:
systemctl --user enable ssh-agent
systemctl --user start ssh-agent
Add the following configuration setting to your ssh config file ~/.ssh/config (this works since SSH 7.2):
AddKeysToAgent yes
This will instruct the ssh client to always add the key to a running agent, so there’s no need to ssh-add it beforehand.
As a disclaimer, these answers have been copied wholesale (and linked to the original source) for preservation.

I’ve removed Disqus comments for the site. They aren’t adding a whole lot beyond a myriad of tracking domains and extra cruft to load. If you’d like to contact me about an article, grab me on Twitter or Mastodon.
The main inspiration for this change came from this post. I don’t feel the need to replace Disqus with GitHub comments, but it’s an interesting idea. The real inspiration was seeing the load time graph. Comments aren’t worth that.
