Or don't, because they are going to kill it eventually.

There are less convenient possibilities, like pass and keepass, even a markdown file pgp encrypted and git. Yes, less convenient, but guaranteed to work in 5,10,20+ years

Holy fudge i didn't expect this but it's great. I suggest everybody to try it. And yes, ed2k is as alive as ever, especially for it, es, fr comtent

Do it. Buy an hdd, start to understand how to store the data safely, how to torrent and how to contribute to the community.

You'll learn a lot, and I am guessing that you are very young, all this knowledge will be very useful in the future. Every cent spent now, will multiply in the future

how is it not?

• the worst kind of opensource, where you are not allowed to run the software yourself (or even fork it)
• not indexable
• requires signup with personal informations
• forever tied to a single identity
• not exportable to other services
• no open formats for its storage

it's a shitty service, by a shitty person. I know Moxie personally, and he is basically Elon Musk if he didn't make it

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

this is a very bad article. It talks about "zero trust" but then suggests you to use corporate software, the cloud, sketchy russian apps to monitor your traffic at home. Also, I am not spending 2 hours a day going through my logs, nor I want a VM/container with 8GB of ram wasting 40% of my GPU on grafana.

Great that you included your threat model, but you should have specified the type of services that you host/provide.

One thing i would look into is disabling any port that is not necessary (like 80 and 443) and disable ssh on the wider network.

Host a wireguard endpoint in the internal network that acts like a bastion and allows you to ssh-jump to any other host and VM on the network.

Wireguard is more secure than ssh, assuming sound crypto and hygiene for both, because you can't probe a host from the outside and know if wireguard is running or not

I am not sure what you are talking about. None of the stuff OP talked about are related to containers. Also containers complicate networking a lot, so i would avoid them at all costs and use VMs

Totally agree. This reflects my experience encoding with both formats for releases.

At similar bitrate, av1 also performs much much worse on grain and it is slower to encode

For most stuff i release, x265 objectively (vmaf and other metrics) and subjectively looks better than av1, especially for grainy stuff and older anime. I have had success only with some action movies.

Opus on the other hand... it's great

No, I can assure you russian people use torrents

There is nothing to refute, 100% correct
