  • With Piped you are watching videos through the Piped server, which is the one calling YouTube. So Google knows the server is watching but it does not know it’s you. A proxy, they call it.

    The benefit is clearly that your views get mixed with many other people’s and tracking individually is way more difficult.

    Also, you get to have subs, playlists… All synced with your Piped account.







  • Let’s say you have 2 scripts that do some stuff:

    • script A: turns a light pink for 20 seconds and then through a smart speaker you can hear 30 seconds of La Macarena.
    • script B: send 25 notifications to your phone, spaced by 30 seconds, in which each notification is a different letter of an encrypted message.

    If you want those things to happen independently you must parallelize them.

    So think about an automation that at a certain point you want to launch multiple scripts. I’d always parallelize, even if initially these scripts were “instantaneous”, because you might change these and add more complexities in the future.
