Ehm… which sites?

It syncs my extensions, except for mobile the ones that aren’t available (obviously)

Yes, let’s talk piracy behind some stupid walled garden. As if public conversations are not fragmented enough as it is

Fellow italian pirate here, using Gentoo for servers and laptop since 2014. Very interesting, thank you for sharing. Would love to have a chat someday

152 GB in my drives

qbit manage

that is an interesting advice. Regarding containers, they don’t fit my use case.

Your question is so generic that it is difficult to reply. I’ll tell you about my use case then so that you can try to figure out yours.

My goal is to be a respectful citizen. I divide my torrents in three categories:

• rare stuff: for example project 4k77 or the John Wick regrades or Rashomon
• italian stuff: it can be either popular stuff and also rare stuff; italian content is not seeded much so I need to do my part
• common/popular stuff: for example the barbie movie or every marvel stuff

I bought tons of space (recently converted to three drives, 20tb each) and use a virtual machine locked behind a vpn. Even if I forget to paid, the virtual machine is bind to the tunnel so that traffic doesn’t go out except for LAN, so no leaks.

The VM has two torrent client:

• qbittorrent: seed the torrents in the common / popular categories, speed capped to 1/3 of my bandwidth
• transmission (previously using rtorrent) for the other two categories

I tend to leave everything in transmission seeded forever, the stuff in qbittorrent seeded until 2.5 ratio or 4.0 depending on my mood.

At the moment I have 90.2 ration on transmission and many many many TB of uploaded stuff. That should be enough to feel like you are giving back

interesting. This could all be solved if gatekeeper doesn’t allow port redirection on 80 unless explicitly configured by the administrator, right?

thank you for the reply. All the stuff you wrote makes sense.

But even if I obtain a LetsEncrypt cert, any LAN device can do the same thing, so the whole TLS can still be MITM-ed.

can you elaborate?

Very interesting project, thanks for sharing and working on this. I am actually one of your target user, where I have enough knowledge to implement my own router, at the moment running on gentoo.

I would like to use this but it lacks port forwarding and a firewall, that is a must. I’ll try it out nevertheless. I’m quite impressed by the stylish HTML graphics, and I appreciate your departure from the typical “modern” gray corporate Bootstrap UI design. It’s really, really cool.

One question. how do you envision exposing this service to the internet? I quite despise rust but I wonder if the use of a memory safe language would help with the inevitable bugs, especially if you put even more features into gatekeeper.

you are literally just posting buzzwords. You can be lean with mysql, you can write bloaty programs with rust. I would argue most rust webservices are shittier than java ones

I don’t since I live in a third world country. Can seed at 1Gbps with no warnings whatsoever, 20€ monthly

I read

I don’t since I don’t live in a third world country.

Give your country more credit if you have a 1Gbps connection and it doesn’t enforce draconian idiotic laws. Just out of curiosity, can you name the country?

Back to the point of money and piracy, like I said, one “pays” for media in one way or another.

While I agree with you on everything this point is not 100% true. I am paying thousand of $CURRENCY on disks and other hardware every few years but I feel that for every side of the coin, there is a minimum situation (let’s call it a floor situation) on which less privileged people may find themselves.

For example if you are a bachelor already struggling to pay to be in college or a child that has only access to their parent’s computer, piracy is literally free and you can reach to it without paying anything on top of what you have already. On the other hand, netflix is always $CURRENT_PRICE regardless of your situation.

Btw, thank you for making articulate posts. This is why I am on lemmy.

Fantastic Four Batgirl (I can dream 😂)

can you explain more?

saw this yesterday with my relevant other. Very enjoyable even if a crop. The movie is dogshit though

My point: if you’re getting started selfhosting you have to embrace and accept the self-inflicted punishment. Good luck everybody, I don’t know if I can keep choosing to get disappointed.

I would say that your self inflicted punishment is using windows. Switch to debian and thank me in six months

I am using vikunja for the same thing

Brief reminder that most people on the planet aren’t American

So what? Catholicism and Protestantism is ingrained in big parts of europe

do you share it? I would like to take a peek

how is 4 dollars of difference a big deal?
