You really only need Storage. Backblaze B2/Wasabi/Cloudflare R2 if you can afford it, or just get a Hetzner storage box, attach it to the VM, run Minio and off you go.

Does feddit.org work without JS? Does this depend on the front-end that the instance uses?

Yeah

Configure the TOR Duckduckgo and Brave search engines and only search over TOR. Switch circuits every x hours.

You should do it on a VPS so that even if it gets infected your home network is not compromised

Took a while but glad that they are back

Which is why I’d like to see a third player. I don’t use Chrome except for ungoogled chromium when the other browsers are tied up

This one is completely on Mozilla. TBH I’m not very happy with their governance either. Stop spending money on bullshit and start working on the damn browser. Stop hassling devs like him who have had an immense contribution to not only open source, but your fucking browser’s usage metrics.

I wish another browser standard comes up and we can say goodbye to this google-infested shit-bucket that is mozilla.

I’m afraid I do not follow. TrueNAS scale has support for kubernetes: install containers on top, maybe different containers for different fileshares/uses (one container for VM images, one for media etc).

Mount said network volumes on the compute boxes.

Just give him LMDE

Explain how other init systems are necessarily worse than systemd

You’ve brought a strawman into the conversation, but in short, uBlock is best maintained and tends to be the most robust. Your solution works too

If I say it here I might dox myself. I’d like for it to be a PGP conversation but I’m not quite there yet either (due to personal reasons). Sorry

Well, you’re right. If the provider I have in mind evaporates one day I’ll probably have to do that.

Just find an unit with unmetered bandwidth, why do you need dedi?

I do seed stuff (I downloaded a TV show of around 40GB last month and I’ve been seeding it since). It just keeps seeding at full speed till the time they throttle my bandwidth. Last I checked I was over 7 in ratio for that thing, but whatever. It works out because I don’t leech much

I will eventually move to a VPS provider who doesn’t mind public torrents (I’ll pay through XMR). This seems like a much better idea since my needs have diversified and I’d like everything together on one machine to save costs. There’s other ways to use your seedbox too (without root access) and seed stuff that people really need/are deprived of (vague description on purpose).

I still have one of their ECO boxes but it’s not doing much. I haven’t torrented anything in the last 2 months I think (didn’t find a need to).

Obviously, this doesn’t change anything if you’re still seeding to the clearnet. All this would do is cross-seed your torrents to the I2P network. I assume you have a suitable torrenting strategy already for the clearnet. If some day you were to abandon the clearnet for I2P, you would no longer need to take the precautions you do now because I2P is inherently private.

Please skim through the documentation for a high-level overview on I2P, and ask here if you don’t understand something

Which plan? I used to use them too

I’m assuming your seedbox providers allows you root access to the server? Which provider is this?
