Like the stupid newbie goober I am, I forgot the first step to downloading music: do it in a public setting with a public wifi. Ended up downloading it all at home off of our private wifi. Did use a VPN but forgot to switch it from my home country. Kind of wondering how easy it is to trace me and persecute me for this. I am not the one handling the ordeal with the wifi, that would be my lovely mother.

Cheers y’all!

    Because many many people know absolutely nothing about ethernet or the actual hardware behind their wifi connection, as quite often that was setup by a technician from their ISP. When it comes to acquiring internet; a wifi name+password is all they’ve ever experienced.

        It’s honestly baffling how many people are, willfully ignorant of things they depend on.

        I know far too many people that know nothing about cars beyond ‘turn key, engine turns on’. I’m no mechanic either, but I can at least identify some parts and perform basic maintenance.
