It's fairly trivial to craft a dummy file that has the same hash as any given file, the chance of that happening randomly is infinitesimal, hence the usefulness of hashing, but it has been done in the past as a way to poison torrents.
easy for the malicious to spoof...
I use gluetun for vpn proxying, it's rock solid and has shadowsocks and tinyproxy (I run two instances, one localish openvpn and one out of country wireguard, gluetun don't care), that gets around port opening.
Valid, and I do help where I can (check my history if you care). This post just tweaked my twee radar, to which I generally respond, gently, "learn to think for yourself", parental pattern I guess.
Oh you summer child (I upvoted, but won't waste an hour of my life listening to random internet stuff). I don't think it's lack of education, in this world it's very possible to educate yourself, it's a lack of understanding (due to misinformation and corporate sponsored laziness) the implications of that easy click, or of what others can get without your consent. Privacy isn't dead, it's just now mostly for the rich.
Yes, much the same once you learn the hoops.
NSFL tags plz
Yup, it's not great, but it does the job and syncs well, I don't think I've seen it fail. I selfhost using WebDAV and Nextcloud.
dunno, using libredirect to pass to freetube for the duration...
Beets will work, but you have to put in the effort to get all your music imported correctly (you have a backup, right!), then lastfm plugin will work fine (and metadata, and album art, and lyrics, and ....). Once you get started, it's pretty easy to add new stuff in. It does tend to work better with albums, I've mostly moved to getting an album when I've wanted a single song, because space is cheap, and I've found some interesting stuff that way.
Boffo!
