Once you get a Gopher/Gemini browser, among yt-dlp, the web can go away.

 
       While I do appreciate the availability of yt-dlp, I feel like

       Youtube.  Granted, there doesn't seem to be as many DSAs for
       video software (codecs and players) [1], but it's still the
       kind of software I'd rather keep at least in a container.

You fear that a hacker can upload a YouTube video containing an
exploit and manage to pass that exploit through YouTube's
transcoding in order to attack Linux video player programs? Seems
like a big stretch to me.

       By the by, what's the equivalent of wget(1) for gopher:?

Curl supports Gopher. Not Gemini though.
