Trouble with youtube-dl in terminal?

-
"Signature extraction failed"
For the last month or so, whenever I use youtube-dl to download a favorite lyrics video I was getting this error. EVERYTIME. I like my videos downloaded and saved, instead of having to open up a browser everytime I want to listen that same old song.

Anyways, It suggested me to update the package and so I did. But apparently ubuntu repository did not have the latest package and it seemed like it wasn't updating it anytime soon. I checked the version and it was an old one last updated somwhere in the middle of 2016.
 I was going to open an issue on yt-dl github page but got too lazy. So what I did was install it from python package manager instead of apt manager in ubuntu.

1. sudo apt remove -y youtube-dl
2. pip install youtube-dl

It is working like before. Now I need to use pip to update my youtube-dl package(they release an update every two weeks or something according to their github page). I still would like to see what was causing the issue, so I have saved a verbose of the command when I used youtube-dl package from apt.

Add more content after going through the issue with aptitude package manager.

Building a local weather station using Raspberry pi W and Arduino Nano || Serial communication over Bluetooth HC-05 module

  So this DIY Weather Station involves a few different Hardware modules and a little bit of programming. The idea is, to display the weather status, temperature and humidity levels on a LCD Display that gets updated on a hourly basis. Our Raspberry pi W is going to host the programs and is responsible for sending the correct data from the internet to the Arduino Nano over a Serial communication. We'll make use of the bluetooth module to connect to the bluetooth capabilities of pi to send the data over to the display unit. Things required : Raspberry Pi Zero W x 1 Arduino Nano x 1 LCD 1602 Display x 1 I2C module x 1 Bluetooth HC-05 module x 1 Jumper wires for making connections 5V power source for both raspberry pi and arduino nano (we can power other modules from nano board) Setup Arduino Nano Our LCD Display Module can be connected to Arduino nano in two ways, with or without I2C module. Without it, we'll need to connect 8 pins to the Arduino which is tedious and time consumin

The blog post is divided into two sections, in first we will explore creating a basic server for our application. This server uses basic web scraping techniques to retrieve data from a trusted news portal. We are only scraping article title and article link, but can expand feature to include more data as well. In the next section, we will create an a cross-platform app from scratch for both iOS and Android. This app is going to retrieve the data from the server we created in Section 1 and display to the user. Section 1 Building a server : npm install --save express request-promise cheerio Add these dependencies to a new file newsAPI.js. const express = require("express"); const app = express(); const rp = require("request-promise"); const $ = require("cheerio"); app.use(express.json()); app.get("/", (req, res) => {   res.send("Hello !!!"); }); const port = process.env.PORT || 3000; app.listen(port, () => console.log(`http://localh
