How do people do it nowadays?

Honestly I never thought about the latency issue, but I probably won't do it because of that now that you mention it. Much appreciated.

Ooh wireguard sounds like a great option

RiMusic is great for listening to... well, music. It has a bunch of nice features, allows you to download music, and even copy your local db of what you've listened to to a file which is great for backing up. I thought it got abandoned by its maintainer a while ago, but it seems like it's still an active project.

New copypasta dropped

...28?

The internet archive has a lot of torrents that need seeding if you're up for something like that? I think they're still down, but once they're back up, it's pretty easy to help out with that.

Before scraping I would verify that there is no HTTP API that you can use to craft requests instead of scraping from the website. These might be higher quality than what you can scrape. If there is no easy to use http API, go to scraping then. I would generally consider scraping the last option, unless it's a ridiculously easy website to scrape.

Oh, I didn't realize a lot of people actually believed that I just figured they were being hyperbolic.

I never thought about these changes but it's interesting how there isn't a centralized convention for web stylization(unless there is I don't really do that)
