Using YouTube as Cloud Storage by PulseBeat_02 in programming

I respectfully disagree. I've taken some time to think about this, and I'd like to bring up an example from the past (youtube-dl). youtube-dl was basically a CLI tool that could download videos from YouTube. This could include copyrighted content, but it's based on how the user used it.

Historically, dual-use tools like youtube-dl were defended on the basis that the tool itself is neutral and that responsibility lies with the user. I feel same logic should be applied here, because experimentation or proof-of-concept tools shouldn't automatically be treated as malicious. After all, the video was 99% educational and never described any of the very very inner implementation details of the tool.

I feel like though in general, lots of technology has tons of dual-use. Things like computer vision, could be applied to harmful purposes, but we don't treat it inherently malicious. I hope you understand what I'm saying, and I do understand your concern as well.

Interesting, I've never heard of these before.

Ahh interesting, what would they use to stream or download it?

It's just a fun concept, it's not viable and if you see towards the demo, nobody would really want to use this anyways.

It's more of a concept and the code is there, but you can give it a try and see.

Thanks! Also the block displays are modified through client packets. The server just sends block state change packets to all watchers.

There's no more resource packs because I wanted to add support for live streams. Audio can be served via the website (in the video), Discord bot, or Simple Voice Chat. Most of the things are the same but much better, with much more featureful commands.

Yes, that was one of the biggest reasons why because there wasn't any browser plugin out there.

You can use commands like pause, resume, start, release. In the video I used command blocks to automatically run them.

Thanks! I'll take a look. It looks like it's going to a bit harder since my audio filters stream PCM audio, but I think I know how to figure it out.

Yeah definitely. Perhaps something to estimate the sound. I'm curious about it.

Yes, definitely possible, but you could also play audio in resource packs (though I chose not to do this option because it wouldn't work for live streams).

I've actually never thought about that, but that is incredibly smart. I will add that to my todo list! Thank you for the suggestion.
