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
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.
If they wouldn't allow this, signing into YouTube wouldn't work
I've wanted to contribute code to open source projects for years at this point but looking at the code just seems so daunting. I've only contributed things like icons, translations and map data in OSM. I did start working at my first job this week as a software developer, so I hope I'll get more experience in working with existing projects.
I can at least tell you that Mihon will work just fine, it's a FOSS app but sadly not available on F-Droid
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.
