Looking forward to it! Let us know when you do.

It's not going to get addressed because it can't be, other than running your own Lemmy instance and just federating with everyone, until the main instances turn off blocklists and instead use allowlists.

How do you even dowvnote on Lemmy? I don't see an option for it, only on kbin.

I'm not sure. I think I want to stay here.

I have a cottage, so I rsync to my computer there, and I also have a computer and Synology NAS there for further backups. If I end up selling the cottage though... I'm not sure lol. I don't really have anything too too irreplaceable honestly outside of stuff I already backup to multiple cloud backups too.

Interesting, that's exactly what I did. I am renting a VPS and am running my own OpenVPN server on that, and then my OpenVPN client connects to that VPN, and the OpenVPN server forwards traffic for specific ports to my OpenVPN client using iptables prerouting DNAT rules.

Yes, but you have to keep in mind part of the point of the VPN is so that it's not running on your home network and exposing your home IP. Having an RPI or laptop running OpenVPN server from your home isn't going to help you in terms of privacy when you're just exposing your home IP. Also, running your own VPN means you will have a dedicated IP which will be tied to you versus running a commercial VPN which would have shared IPs (but likely wouldn't offer port-forwarding so it would be worthless for seedboxes).

What I do on mine is rent a cheap VPS with unlimited bandwidth, I run OpenVPN server on that VPS using Nyr’s openvpn-install script and then on my local seedbox server I connect to my OpenVPN server. I have qbittorrent-nox listening on the tun0 interface on my local seedbox, and then on my OpenVPN server VPS I have an iptables prerouting rule to route traffic from the inbound torrent port to my local seedbox server.

It works very well for me, even though I only use private trackers so it's overkill in my case.

For a private tracker no, for public trackers it depends on your country. Some countries the worst you might get is an email or letter in the mail, other countries you will be sued. I even use a VPN for private trackers, let alone public trackers.

I would recommend using a VPN.

I also only seed on private trackers, since I don't use public trackers.

It's a very nice setup, I'd recommend it. I might do a full write-up some time about it.

It's not like Spez is only some miniscule middle manager for reddit. He absolutely has a say in how things will go. He has shown who he really is.

I heard they used equipment rated for 1000 meters at like 4000 meters, like the CEO was bragging about it and he was bragging safety is overrated and overdone etc. What an absolute shit show of a company.

True, no point having one yacht, better to have three yachts.
