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?

The point is that logs are generated and then deleted but companies who do not wish to keep such logs (e.g. IP address of client who connects to the VPN). I2P sure to it’s design, doesn’t even generate such incriminating logs (it might generate other kinds of logs which is a different discussion).

Thanks

A VPN company can easily give up your details to the police who are now actively going after citizens. VPNs are not enough anymore.

Is there a problem with I2P adoption? I’m sensing a massive lack of interest from this thread

Yeah well I have over 3TB to store

I’m just afraid of data loss, but I also know that that is unlikely. I have a local backup but sometimes I feel like that’s not enough, unfortunately my budget is also tight which means I can’t spend too much on replicated buckets/another cloud provider with a complete backup etc.

Also, have you ever faced the issue where you’re pushing files to backblaze with rclone and there are many failed uploads (rclone retries them eventually after reaching the end of the queue), which is something I’ve never had with S3. Well, you get what you pay for I suppose.

I’m worried about reliability; what are the chances that they will lose my data? I have a local backup but I’m also feeling paranoid
