You’ve brought a strawman into the conversation, but in short, uBlock is best maintained and tends to be the most robust. Your solution works too

If I say it here I might dox myself. I’d like for it to be a PGP conversation but I’m not quite there yet either (due to personal reasons). Sorry

Well, you’re right. If the provider I have in mind evaporates one day I’ll probably have to do that.

Just find an unit with unmetered bandwidth, why do you need dedi?

I do seed stuff (I downloaded a TV show of around 40GB last month and I’ve been seeding it since). It just keeps seeding at full speed till the time they throttle my bandwidth. Last I checked I was over 7 in ratio for that thing, but whatever. It works out because I don’t leech much

I will eventually move to a VPS provider who doesn’t mind public torrents (I’ll pay through XMR). This seems like a much better idea since my needs have diversified and I’d like everything together on one machine to save costs. There’s other ways to use your seedbox too (without root access) and seed stuff that people really need/are deprived of (vague description on purpose).

I still have one of their ECO boxes but it’s not doing much. I haven’t torrented anything in the last 2 months I think (didn’t find a need to).

Which plan? I used to use them too

I’m assuming your seedbox providers allows you root access to the server? Which provider is this?

How about bitrot?

Yeah I’m looking for something like this for Linux desktop

Does it work on desktop? Linux?

Qubes OS doesn’t have GPU acceleration using Virtio-powered interfaces if that’s something you need. Also it’s based on Xen and you are not encouraged to mess around with dom0.

TBH if there’s a way that you can attach to the display output of a VM with a GUI when you start your computer, it will probably fit your use-case perfectly. I haven’t found a method to do this but I think there should be some way to attach directly to the display of a VM after booting up.

I’m an old timer and was recommended tachiyomi a lot, but these days I just go online TBH. Most manga isn’t worth it for me to keep

Those remote access fears can be solved with a wireguard VPN

And I’m running 2 relay nodes. The TOR network desperately needs exit nodes to relieve the bottleneck at the exits, and that’s where I want to help.

Of course, it’s not for everyone, which is why one could just donate to the TOR foundation (or whatever they are called) and that money goes into infrastructure.

I’m not a native speaker, I assumed obfuscate meant hiding the IP address. I mentioned it because you asked.

I didn’t make a new account just for this lol, it’s just that I’m passionate about it.

They do, but VRAM. Unfortunately, the cards that do have that much of memory are used by OEMs/corporations and are insanely pricey

Pray tell me how I misinterpreted it? If running an exit node is going to help marginalized communities bring forth their voice (even the fringe cases that I don’t agree with, because I believe technology should be accessible to everyone), why shouldn’t one do it? Other than mortal risks like jail time because stupid senators can’t be bothered to get their heads out of each others asses.

The reason to use Orbot is to obfuscate the IP

Edit: I’m a different guy from the one you responded to earlier

I don’t know why people are recommending apps like Navidrome and Jellyfin when it isn’t a music server that you’re looking for but a way to share the music collection.

With that said, I can think of 2 approaches, and (likely) the easier option will be to use the help of such a server. Both will require a VPN server in the cloud which will be redirected via NAT/reverse-proxy into your network.

1. Use something like Navidrome with LDAP/Auth solutions like Authelia. User has to authenticate themselves to access their account on the service like something in the cloud.

2. To offer more barebones access to the underlying storage directly: set up NFSv4 for Kerberos.

And you’d rather have Iranian women and Ukranian men not being able to voice their opinions because you don’t agree with helping them “break” laws?

Yeah I guess installing a root CA cert (or an Intermediate, depending on how complex your setup is) and automatically rotating certs upon expiry isn’t the most trivial thing. With that said, dekstop linux/windows isn’t a problem. You could theoretically do it on iOS too. Android recently has completely broken this method, however, and there’s a fair few hoops one must jump over to insert a root CA into the Android trust store on Android 13 and later. I’d like find a way to do it just for browsers on Android using adb if possible
