It's 7320 poutines. I'm not sure about football fields.

This is actually really interesting, I might have to try this.

I currently use a USB stick with a key file on it that I need to plug in on boot. Something like this but it wasn't that easy for me. https://openterprise.it/2022/07/fedora-unlock-luks-full-disk-encrypted-system-using-usb-stick/

Edit: I wonder if yours will work on my VPS.... I'd love to encrypt that.

BUT, I'm not sure how well it works.... While rutorrent says port forwarding is working, and It seems to be from my tests.... Checking randomly the only peers I see that connect to me also have ovpn IPs so I'm not sure if I'm actually accessible or not.

I selfhost everything I use, including the *arr stack. I do have a VPS with hetzner.com and they're pretty good but I wouldn't personally host torrent or *arr with them. If you want someone else to host I'd suggest doing the research and finding something that works for you. My only experience is 5+ years ago with dediseedbox.com so YMMV if you choose them. They do have a cheap-ish VPS.

I think Docker is the way to go either on a VPS or on your own box. If you like a webUI for it use https://www.portainer.io/.

If you do go with docker be very careful about what ports you expose, you can easily open up everything publicly so be sure to double check and bind almost everything to 127.0.0.1.

If you have any specific questions I'd be happy to help.

If you're paying for a seedbox you can either get a vps (Linux VM) and do it yourself or just pay for the rutorrent web interface. I use to use dediseedbox.com awhile ago and had no complaints. My suggestion is to just have whatever provider host it so you don't have to use docker or anything.

If you want to do it yourself, then docker is the way to go and you should probably get a VPN on top of that so your traffic is mixed with other people. A dedicated server or VPS means you get your own IP and it can be linked to you.

This is 100% my opinion too.

I'm annoyed that I supported them and got a lifetime account on sale. At the same time I'm happy that I can take my time testing and moving my family and friends over to something else.

"I deal with every country, indirectly or directly. One of the nastiest countries to deal with is Canada," Trump said.

I'll take that as a complement from you. Thanks!

Canadian IT worker.

I refuse to drink at work parties. Everyone else does and I get some peer pressure to drink but I don't care. Its normal to see people get super drunk and embarrass themselves which is why I don't even start.

Specifically at lunch, if I'm not driving and others are having a beer I will but only one. If I'm driving, it depends on how I'm feeling.

Working from home I've been known to have a beer or two on a Friday afternoon by my self.

When I left my last job we had a meeting at the end of the day with the guys I got along with and anyone they wanted to invite. There was about 15 people from different departments with their cameras on having a drink or smoking (pot) if they didn't drink as a goodbye. Was a nice goodbye. Lol

I host pingvin for people to send stuff to me. To send, usually I'll just move the file into a folder that exposed to Nginx with indexing and send that link. Otherwise I'll also just use my pingvin instance.

Not really self promotion but a couple family members started a small shop in Eastern Ontario. I helped set up the site a couple years ago.
