I wrote this bookmarklet that displays the exact UTC timestamps for the posts. It also allows the timestamp to be copied with the rest of the post. You can see the UTC timestamps by hovering your mouse over the "X hours" text but that doesn't work for screenshots. It no longer works on p.win and never worked on c.win. The new code for c.win does some weird mouse-over detection that totally breaks what I was doing.
Also, kudos to the original thedonald.win developers for making a site that copy and pastes well. It's superior to X and Truth. I archive select posts in LibreOffice Writer.
Also use yt-dlp to archive videos. It's good to add --add-metadata and --write-auto-subs as otherwise it's almost impossible to search the content of a video. And maybe --write-description.
It's a super pain in the 🫏 but if you're technically inclined you can run your own zimit. I tried the online service and it took a week to run.
One of the other docker containers I have is "Tube Archivist", it's a pretty frontend for yt-dlp. It also provides a very good searchable database, comments & metadata.
I now have 50.1Tb of Youtube videos, a lot of the channels have been scrubbed since I started a few years ago, so it's a great resource.
