  If you already have a Linux/BSD server, say Nextcloud, HomeAssistant, etc, you could just use a container instead of a Pi.

    I don’t own a server yet, that’s why I’m planning to get a Pi to get the seedbox running and do some other fun projects.

      Much as I love Pis and ARM, unless you are doing something with GPIOs/hardware, you might be better off getting a second hand thin client PC, like a Dell Wyse.

        Yeah I was actually thinking of buying a ThinkCentre or an Optiplex, but I’ll have to see. It’s just a project that I have for the moment. It would be fun to tinker with the hardware of the Pi though, I’ve seen so many cool stuff you can do with it.

  Dont use VPNs where you provide personal information as ISPs and law enforcement can and do request data from those VPN services. Use something like Mullvad (and pay with XMR if you are paranoid :)

    I already use Mullvad, but I doesn’t allow portforwarding anymore, sadly. So my uploads speeds are pitiful. As much as I enjoy Mullvad’s simplicity when it comes to accounts, I’ll have to pass.

    Is paid ProtonVPN good for this? It’s got port forwarding and is apparently private, but I can’t tell how willing they would be to provide details to others in a bad scenario.
