Right. I do not use VPN, but saw the same 403 errors, and the same solution. The nightly build works! Until YouTube breaks #ytdlp again.
On #LinuxMint, this is how I installed the nightly build.
cd /tmp
sudo curl -L -o yt-dlp https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp-nightly-builds/releases/download/2026.08.18.122307/yt-dlp_linux
sudo mv -f /tmp/yt-dlp /usr/local/bin/yt-dlp
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/yt-dlp
@n8chz I just finished downloading a video without cookies.

Yes, videos play nicely on Mastodon, and without ads. There is also no algorithm here pushing another video at you, distracting, and potentially hypnotizing you.

How do you feel about #ytdlp making this change? Are they limiting potential advancements that could help keep video downloads free? You know the people at YouTube are using AI, and probably using it to try to stop us from downloading content without watching their ads and propaganda.
When people post to the yt-dlp project, they are agreeing to work without any help from AI or LLM, with severe penalty if caught.
#Lentils are a superfood.
Almost no fast-food restaurant in the United States uses them as an ingredient to any of their menu items. Some of the healthiest foods are a challenge to find.
Did US president Barack Obama go to college, or not?
This is a strange-sounding testimony, but could be true. This man says he went to Columbia University in the same year that Obama supposedly also studied there and with the same major. But he has no memory of seeing Barack Obama at #Columbia University.

I think we broke a record here today. The high at the house (in Arkansas) was 104 degrees F. Even this time lapse video from the window makes it look hot. Also, it's interesting how the trees never stop moving, even with little wind.

How I ate my #lentils this evening: with rice and cheddar cheese.
Someone posted this image on Facebook, and it received some interesting comments....
X-Band Radar (SBX-1)
#China and #Russia are allied with #NorthKorea.
Translation:
Pyongyang has significantly advanced its nuclear and missile capabilities. There are even speculations that North Korea already possesses over 100 nuclear weapons. Following President Vladimir Putin's visit to Pyongyang in 2024, the relations between North Korea and Russia have essentially evolved into a military alliance, with reports of North Korean troops being deployed by Russia.

It will happen soon.
#YouTube locked me out of my account, but they require me to be logged in to see this video. For me, that amounts to #censorship.
"Sign in to confirm your age

I wonder what this video is about and why they restrict it.

Before and after SpaceX dropped its Falcon rocket trash on the moon: it made a crater.
I notice that some of the bright lights on the moon also went away. What are they?

@waimeafalls I think it uses microwaves, like what you use to cook food in your microwave oven. It's the same as radar.
Your entire earthly existence is useless if you fail to act in love....
And you may record earthly successes time and time again.... they are worthless for your soul, which can only ripen through acting in love.
I woke up this morning, had breakfast, then sat down and remembered a disturbing #dream.
On a road was a line of cars. They were stopped and not moving. Was there a crash? My view kept moving forward, going around the long line of cars.
I saw a car door open and a human body in the driver's seat, lifeless. The car was on fire. I considered going to pull the body out. But there was a gulf of flames around the vehicle. More cars ahead were the same: lifeless bodies and #fire.
