He’s probably on human growth hormone and testosterone replacement therapy for “longevity”. Maybe he doesn’t workout enough though, so he won’t have the overdeveloped physique of typical anabolic abusers. Just the extra testosterone and hgh can cause muscle growth on their own, doesn’t mean you get huge all over though.

That’s fair. Personally I should have called it quits when they started including pocket in the browser, but better late than never.

It may be overblown but I am seriously tired of the way Mozilla is being run. The CEO has a $7 million salary. Big red flags always appear each time they increase the salary also. May be a bit hyperbolic but that’s why I’m just using another fork after 20 years

I was basing what I said on the http.py file:

while True:
                try:
                    # Download and write
                    data_block = ctx.data.read(block_size if not is_test else min(block_size, data_len - byte_counter))
                except TransportError as err:
                    retry(err)

                byte_counter += len(data_block)

I might still be wrong but that’s how I thought it downloaded any video file over http

Edit. After reading the code a bit more I see that you were correct.

yt-dlp streams those chunks into the final file tbh so it should be fine.

I was wrong about this part. I doubt the isp would do anything about it though, just for different reasons

I believe the request to the server is the same as if you were watching it. It just runs the file from their server to your browser, with yt-dlp it sends a request to the server file the same way a browser does. You can view the source code which is well commented if you are able to understand python. The function is in yt-dlp/downloader/http.py

After rereading the code, it’s not quite the same but I wouldn’t worry about the isp

I know it’s their legal defense and all, but it’s not like any of us thought they would seed in the first place. Their business is only about taking for profit, not sharing or giving anything back.

Try fedora. More stability than any other os I’ve ever tried. Have had it running on all my machines for maybe 6 years now and not one issue, including with gaming (csgo/cs2 for 5k+ hours).
