    The private yt-dlp/ffmpeg/python3 webapp I made to download YouTube videos just got 10 threads wider, and YouTube is gonna pay for it

        I built it mostly for my mum and dad so that dad could download MP3 music and mum could download her sewing videos and play them in VLC.

        Thing is, the domain is registered to me, hosted on my own metal, and run in my own house. I don’t really think I’m smart enough to fully secure and obfuscate my site, but also not dumb enough to let the public go ham on it while exposing myself to legal action from one of the most powerful companies on earth.

        If I get time soon, I’ll try to spin up a clone with some layers of protection and anonymity, and share that.

      I know this is a joke but you can get more throughput with async I/O for this use case. It lacks a good punchline though
