All I wanted is to install the current yt-dlp (2024.07.16-1) on debian 12.6.

Suggested way to that according to https://packages.debian.org/sid/all/yt-dlp/download is to add that line to that file (etc/apt/sources.list), but do I really need to download the 1600 files that upgrade would entail?

I don’t want to download the tar.gz 'cause upgrading that would be a pain.

    use pipx install or your distro’s package instead of pip install --break-system-packages

      Apparently pipx dislikes tmpfs partitions, so nah.

        why would you want to nuke your installed cli apps on every boot with a tmpfs

          Eh, it’s a tradeoff that I get in exchange of a longer microsd lifespan. Which I’m completely fine with.
