# ytextr is a wrapper arount yt-dlp (previously youtube-dl)
# that extracts a single video according to my preferred settings.
#
# It will be sandboxed to the current directory, since I don’t particularly
# trust the massive codebase of that tool (with hundreds of contributors).
#
# Since the rules for downloading videos is usually against the wishes
# of proprietary vendors, and a video is many megabytes anyway,
# it will be fetched from the most recent nixpkgs unstable channel before running.
