aaaaaaaah, the home server with the list of video channels I'm not-following-because-i-don't-have-a-youtube-account is down and I'm not sure whether it's a problem or it's because my SO is working on it, so I can't relax for the next half-hour or so sewing and watching videos while I wait for him.

wait, that list of video channels is saved in a git repo, I can get the next video I want to see from the local copy, even if I can't use the fancy web interface :D
