Not really a problem with putting other stuff on it, apart from adhering to security standards. If you want to separate your personal stuff from hosted stuff, go ahead, but just because its torrent, doesnt make it much different.
Put it in a VM if you dont have a second machine i guess.
Strong argument, anything else?
To be fair, any proper VPN setup that only relies on the routing table like this is flawed to begin with.
If the VPN program dies or the network interface disappears, the routes are removed aswell, allowing traffic to leave the machine without the VPN.
So it is already a good practice to block traffic where it shouldnt go (or even better, only allowing it where it should).
Many VPN-Programs by Providers already have settings to enable this to prevent “leaking”.

Unikely… Kinda why VR also didnt get too popular, most players just prefer “classic” controls and not movement-controls.
But this is huge for VR and other usages of this, probably even useful for production routing, but i dont have any knowledge of that.
to be fair, they specifically target the way google ranks these websites. If google would rank them with less impact of what the website “bastardizes”, this could be generally less of an issue in the first place.
Just saw it too :D
Why would you ever need such a feature? Closed.
Dont bother with raspberrypis for most things anymore. Too expensive for that old shitty hardware they put on the boards…
Machines like the Intel N100 is much simpler to deal with. No more shitty hardware incompatability and old CPU which doesnt even have proper modern HW offloading (looking at you Pi4… what a shitboard)
Bandwidth is one part… Storage is theother and usually you have less storage than bandwidth anyways.
Please include the actual calculations for energy-prices as many, you may not know, live in different locations and pay different prices compared to you.
How much time do you have? Because even small models will take alot of time on that kind of hardware to spit out a long text…
And the small models arent that great. I think the current best and economic model would be a mistral, mixtral or dolphin.
If you got the power, nous-capybara is very good and “only” 34B parameters (loading alone needs like 40GB of memory).
I dont see how e.g. arch would be super hard to maintain.
There is a nice GUI program for installing programs and updates. (like many modern distros)
If you dont want to set everything up, go with Endeavour or Garuda.
I find rolling release to be easier to maintain and keep up to date than non-rolling.
Specially if you want up to date packages for desktop use.
Windows has a request assistance function? wtf… where is that found?
I only know Remote desktop tools and most of these work perfectly fine on linux as the client or even under Wine.
[Edit: woah, i did some rambling below here… not related to your specific case here, but some nice information maybe]
Linux as host is where it gets funny… bigger ones support X11, pretty much none support Wayland.
To be fair, its impossible to control mouse and keyboard under Wayland without root.
I think we now have some new desktop packages for gnome and kde which can do that, so now they need to be implemented.
But i dont see an effort being made for Wayland by the bigger providers in the near future… the market just isnt there and there is lots of uncertainty with the featureset.
Switched to Rustdesk a while back, works nicely as client, but only picture output with wayland as host.l as of now.
And i cannot copy&paste under wayland as client… even though it worked before…
The question then is, how much can you actually do in the shell.
Good luck setting up many programs that way when they soley rely on the GUI and documentation about configs or their database structure is nonexistant.
afaik they also alias common linux/gnu commands like curl… but the syntax isnt like curl at all
To be fair, windows development also included UI changes beneficial for users, so its not necessarily bad to copy those.
Of course there are many which are… questionable, we of course shouldnt copy those :D
We sometimes get weird scam-sms, but thats about it.
(We is my family, other people dont really talk about it with others that much)
smartctl
But 10.000 seems on the low side, i have 4 datacenter toshiba 10tb disks with 40k hours and expect them to do at least 80k, but you can have bad luck and one fails prematurely.
If its within warranty, you can get it replaced, if not, tough luck.
Always have stuff protected in raid/zfs and backed up if you value the data or dont want a weekend ruined because you now have to reinstall.
And with big disks, consider having more disks as redundancy as another might get a bit-error while restoring the failed one. (check the statistical averages of the disk in the datasheet)
Dont. They are notoriously bad at such things. Lack of Hardware acceleration mainly. These old Chips and problems with single-board-complications are just not worth it at such high prices.
An Intel N100 MiniPC will have much more compute with less complications.
