yep

This actually reminded me to do it 😭

If I was just downloading stuff, I wouldn't be using a VPN. Not sure if it's illegal but it's just not worth it for the police to go after people who just download. With torrents, due to the way they work, you're also uploading. That's the reason you should use a VPN when downloading with torrents.

Set a reminder for when I'm home

I'm so gonna install Linux on my future car

The only way to find out it was you, would be to ask the VPN provider. Mullvad has a perfect track record of not keeping logs tho, so it's very unlikely they're gonna get anything from them. All that work wouldn't even be worth it for someone just downloading some music like you do.

I have my torrent client running 24/7 connected to a different VPN to my home country, Germany, as well and nothing's ever happened, even though Germany is pretty strict when it comes to this stuff.

No, the error is coming from YouTube, not Piped. They're working on a way to get around it, you can follow the progress here.

LibreTube uses Piped, which currently is getting blocked by YouTube. They're working on a way to get around it.

You can follow the progress here. It seems like they might have found a way.

Is that also how custom ROMs like LineageOS do it? My phone (Nothing Phone 1) isn't supported anymore and it has really annoying issues that I'd like to fix by becoming the maintainer for that ROM but I have no idea how that whole thing works and where to find how to do this.

Yeah but it would also be cool if everyone else had Kore, then they could just add songs themselves from their phones, for example

It's true, he said that

Yes. MacOS uses CUPS too btw.

Exactly 😅

I used to use Arch too but I switched to Fedora because everything I installed manually was just installed by default already there. Also nice to be able to update my system from GNOME Software.

You can also just use your phone. The app is called Kore and is free and open source. It connects over the local network, so you don't need an IR pointer or anything like that.

Edit: Just noticed that the comment you replied to already mentioned Kore. Anyway, I actually prefer using it over a remote. I always have my phone with me, I can use the phone's keyboard and I can share stuff like YouTube links directly to it.

Wouldn't a home router with Windows cost way more because of the licence?

The Deutsche Bahn uses Linux for the displays in their trains, that show you the next stops, at least. Saw the systemd startup thingy on one of those displays once when the train restarted while I was in it.

That's just how Arch works, you have to install everything yourself

Really cool how even phones in that price range have 120hz screens now, my current phone (Nothing Phone 1) is also in that price range and has a display like that. IPhone users should really be madder at Apple for not putting 120hz screens on the non-pro phones, even though they cost way more than these Android phones.

A Minecraft Earth using this would be fucking awesome, maybe I'll get around to making it one day

notice how you didn't capitalize anything
