Alternatively, if your databases are on a filesystem that supports snapshots (LVM, btrfs or ZFS for instance), you can make a snapshot of the filesystem, mount the snapshot and backup thame database from it. This will ensure the backup is consistent with itself (the backed up directory was not written to between the beginning and the end of the backup)

It seems really nice. Too bad it’s not a real product yet (the kick starter hasn’t even launched)

Because you either need an announce URL or publishing your torrent to the DHT for your friends to be able to peer with you.

Seeding copyrighted material using a public announce URL or the DHT will get you in trouble in most western countries.

Enabling multi DC redundancy is really easy though. The other providers you mentioned may have it by default, but they’re also a lot more expensive.

I love that they let me pick my own redundancy strategy, without forcing me to pay for theirs

ENS stands for Ethereum Name Service

“ENS domain”

IPFS is also strongly related to several blockchain stuff (not a blockchain itself though)

ENS domains ?

When looking at the CVE itself, it seems like a bug that only gets triggered on a very specific corner case that neither the client or website alone can trigger.

Of course, it’s good that it gets reported and fixed, but I’m pretty sure these kind of bugs can only get caught by people randomly stumbling on them

I’ve read somewhere Mullvad no longer offers port forwarding. Do you still manage to seed without it ?

I’m personally using Docker MailServer. It’s been working great for over a year now, but mailu seems to have some interesting features (I’m especially interested in the admin panel)

Are you using it to seed torrents ?

Thank you for the clarification.

I’ve also read that it’s illegal in Switzerland to gather IP addresses because they are considered sensitive PII. Do you know about this, and does it protect me in any way if I use a swiss datacenter IP for seeding my torrents ?

This does not answer the question I asked. I’ve already considered a commercial VPN and I’ve ruled it out (clearly not cheaper, unless you can find a decent VPN with port forwarding that costs less than 2€/month)

I’ve considered it and ruled it out. That’s why I’m specifically asking for a VPS to install my own VPN own.

I’m really not interested in paying 5+€/month when I can build my own for a fraction of that cost

I want to use my own storage at home. I’m not gonna pay for several TB of storage on a seedbox when I already have the HDD

Thanks, I’m going to check it out

As far as I know, tailscale still requires me to set up my own exit node

Thank you. I’m definetly gonna check it out
