Whether you like it or not, that’s more or less what happens. You can/will lose a bunch of accounts for causing trouble. Sometimes I think it’s a bit over the top. Instead of keeping out toxic or non-contributing folks it becomes a personal vendetta or innocent violation.
Overall, I’m a fan of banning known bad users, but restraint should be used and collected personal information should be minimized.
When you are seeding, you broadcast to other peers that you have pieces available. The most efficient way to exchange data is for them to open a connection to you. Without an open port (from port forwarding) they have no way to make this direct connection.
I would approach it this way:
From there you can work your way up to full automation and such if you like. I don’t think it’s necessary for most people.
As for data layout, just make some folders like movies, tv, music, etc, and lay out stuff in there logically. If you have a fancy storage setup, you might do separate shares for them, whatever works for you. Some people like to link from their “download” folder into their actual media folder to keep things clean. You can do hard and soft links on Windows with NTFS, but it’s kind of a pain.
Mullvad doesn’t have port forwarding, so that’s going to be a factor.
I agree with the general idea of what you’re saying, but it’s a slippery slope.
Most people I know personally would never take the effort to learn anything past the point of “Ask ChatGPT” when they have a problem. What happens when the model is wrong, or simply cannot solve the problem? Or maybe they have no network connection and cannot run something suitable locally?
At that level of coddling, then they might not even have the ability to find and open a man page, or edit a config file without a GUI. And that’s a problem. It’s not even Linux-specific. I went to school with “smart” computer science students who don’t even understand file extensions or what a shortcut conceptually is.
What I’m getting at, is there needs to be some kind of balance, or people will just gradually become more useless.
Does this work? https://support.tixati.com/settings - import export
I assume you’d need to either try and unravel the export to correct the paths or do it after the fact.
Not a solution to your problem, but just wanted to let you know you can run multiple instances of qB side-by-side. Make a new profile directory and use the option --profile=<new-profile-dir>.
The primary reason free VPNs/proxies are not recommended is due to the high amount of abuse that flows through them. As a sysop, it’s just easier to blanket ban all those IPs.
I have ethical concerns with your use of RiseUp as well. They are trying to offer a useful service to people on a donation basis, and you are funnelling a large amount of traffic through them.
Maybe not exactly the same, but I know lots of people use this: https://github.com/StuffAnThings/qbit_manage
It relies on the qbittorrent-api PyPi library, which is feature rich.
My basic check is: Are there investors / vc people involved? If so, then it will inevitably enshittify. If not, then requires further investigation. OSI-approved open source is a big plus
Even when choosing what seems like good software, I think it’s important to consider switching costs. How easily can you move to another solution, say the second pick, if things go south?
That site redirects to another domain that tries to sell me on AI roleplay whether or not tgx is down
Previously I ran Win 10 IoT LTSC, with a bunch of scripts from https://privacy.sexy/
I believe most things will work about the same in Win 11. Be sure not to disable anything you might actually need as it can be hard to diagnose.
I’ve been using Arch off and on for a long time, since it was horrible to install and updates did often break stuff. This is not the case now 🖖, and the Arch wiki is your friend.
Consider using btrfs with automated snapshots using yabsnap. It includes a configurable pacman hook in case something goes awry. Also just nice to have snapshots in case you accidentally delete a file or something.
Use paru, an AUR helper. Good for random things which may not be officially packaged. Expect to run into failures, and learn to diagnose them. Sometimes it’s just a new dependency the packager missed. For both paru and pacman, clean the cache once in a while or automatically, or things will get out of hand.
Do the “manual” setup, at least the first time, so you have an idea what’s going on. Don’t forget to install essential stuff like iwd (if needed) when you do pacstrap, or else you might have to boot from live again to fix it. Once you’re done, take care to follow the important post install steps, like setting up a user with sudo, a firewall, sshd, etc.
As for general setup, I’ve recently embraced systemd-networkd and systemd-resolved. Might be worth giving it a shot, since there is no default network manager like application. You can even convert all your wireguard client configs into networkd interfaces.
Best practice: Keep a personal log of various tweaks and things you’ve configured, and set up automated backups (more of general guidance).
Have fun!
Some interesting discussions there, looks like they won’t be hard up finding sponsors or places to move. Nice to see.
It only took what… 20 years?
I manage a (relatively small) gitea instance, the software that forgejo was recently hard forked from. The maintenance is incredibly simple, really no problem if you’ve ever run any sort of publicly facing web service.
In this case I meant the one packaged by your distro.

Running any binary that you can’t examine the source of (and confirm it was built from it without modification) is risky. It’s mostly a balance of trust and risk. Even developers have been known to insert what we could malware.
That said, if you get your cracked content from a trusted source, I’d say it’s generally safe. Otherwise, exercise extreme caution.
Is GMG an official reseller? Maybe I am out of the loop, but I thought they operated in the grey market.
I think that error is related to a missing dbus session but don’t quote me on that.
You will probably find it easier to use a system level service, but run it as your unprivileged user with User= and Group= directives. Once you get that working, there are various other parameters you can add to harden the service if you like.
This is a good reference for hardening: https://docs.arbitrary.ch/security/systemd.html
The arch wiki has a good general reference for all things systemd: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Systemd
