SMR vs CMR and drive speeds

There are providers who are OK with public trackers and don’t care about DMCAs.

In principle, torrenting over IPv6 is the same as doing it over IPv4, it’s just that there’s a lot of IPv6 addresses so you might find it cheaper to buy IPv6. Yes there are some differences in the technology but from purely an operational POV, it’s not very different.

The reason I mentioned bringing your own IPs is related to the reason why providers don’t like public torrents: it pollutes their IP space and puts their IP ranges on blacklists. But if you bring your own IPs, suddenly the provider (in theory) is safe and doesn’t care as much. YMMV of course, send an email to your provider of choice to ask more.

I have seen seedboxes with 3, or maybe 4TB of storage under $10 (don’t remember). And that’s recent (about a month ago). Yes, unlimited uploads are definitely an issue. Such cases are best combated with buying an IPv6 slot and putting that on a VPS with a provider friendly to such things (they exist at reasonable prices)

I tend to seed rarer stuff till my ratio reaches 10, sometimes 15 on a case-by-case basis

Get an older Antec cade on Ebay, the one with 6 DVD bays. Load it up as a homeserver + seedbox + media burner.

Get a seedbox with storage. About $5-$10 a month can get you quite decent boxes in torrent friendly countries

I need to try this, thanks

Setting SELinux to permissive is not a good security practice

Such a beautiful distribution. Very happy that it keeps going!

Why not port knocking over TOR?

Hmm, not bad. I care more about WLB than money so this is fine.

Thanks for the tips

Exactly

We really need to push IPFS and TOR/I2P to keep these websites alive. Fuck the low barrier to entry if it means the website can just be subpoenaed

What’s the pay like for system admins in Europe on an average? Asking for mid-level (5-7 years of experience)

I have definitely read this answer before. I think we’ve probably already spoken on the matter. Indeed, Lemmy has a serious dearth of users interested and using secure distros over the averages. Thanks for your efforts; I do not know how to follow users on Lemmy but if I did I’d follow you. Do you have a blog/any other forum you’re more active on?

Personally, I find it difficult to justify the time to learn Secureblue (especially the immutable part) or NixOS on Qubes because custom DispVMs with curated salt states work so well already. I’m interested in use-cases that will improve my security but I haven’t found any dialogue on this yet. If you do have opinions on this and know where I can look, I would greatly appreciate it!

I would be really interested in a comparison of Kicksecure and secureblue. I’m interested in running one of them myself

Well the Star64 from Pine is pretty good, just doesn’t have enough processing power and IO for my liking.

Framework has a laptop in progress if you’re interested

How would they do DPI on DNS packets routed using DoH? It looks like HTTPS traffic, it’s encrypted, and other than size and frequency I don’t see how they can gey anything out of it. Yeah they’ll get the SNI with eCH but that’s supported by FF and by a lot of providers using DoH
