Or not a teenager worried and stressed out about how and when to talk to their parents or something.

From my understanding nobody knows. The DOJ said it was already removed, but the NYTimes claimed they found 40 images of CSAM. The DOJ said they immediately removed them Saturday, but a lot of files that didn’t contain CSAM were also removed. I’ve extracted the 101GB torrent and haven’t come accross any yet, but there’s a ton of files in there too. People have yet been able to download the entire ZIP and are trying to scrape everything individually as far as I know.

As for the legality, I’m not a Lawyer and I don’t live in the states, but It’s all information that’s been released to the public by the US DOJ as required by a court order, so it’s a call that only you can make. With the amount of data that’s already disapeared I’m personally choosing to host it regardless, and I’ll seed whatever anyone else can salvage of dataset 9 too.

I’m downloading 8-11 now, I’m seeding 1-7+12 now. I’ve tried checking up on reddit, but every other time i check in the post is nuked or something. My home server never goes down and I’m outside USA. I’m working on the 100GB+ #9 right now and I’ll seed whatever you can get up here too.

I went myself about ten years back when I worked for a small electronics store. It was literally 70% slop and 20% cell phone cases. There was only one company there that we actually got excited about and looked at bringing in their products. Their products were much better than what we currently carried and our current supplier was a pain in the ass to deal with.

They were imeadiatly bought out and closed by the company we already dealt with before we could even place an order. We only ever received a demo unit.

This is a much wider issue. So many people leave the default password on devices. I once installed an automatic gate with a pushbutton keypad at an airport and they wanted me to leave the default password of 0000 because it was easy to remember. I argued with them for 10 min, but they had the programming instructions and the airport manager straight up told me he’d just do it himself after I left, so I imagine that’s what happened because he seemed pretty thick and didn’t think that was an issue at all.

Thanks for the recommendation. Once I found the “n” I mistyped as “m” in one of the file directories it actually went quite well. I looked at setting up sonarr & radarr, but its really just me and my partner using it right now, so I’ll put that on the back burner until I get more storage.

Thanks I’ll look into this tonight. I’m still trying to wrap my head around dockers and containers etc. I think I’ve a pretty good handle on it now, but it still hurts my brain after a while.

So, I already pay for Proton VPN, mostly for the E-Mail, but I do use the vpn currently on my main PC to torrent, which I then manually transfer to my server over the network, but I would like to eliminate the middleman and torrent directly to the server, while still being able to easily remote in. I run CasaOS on my Homelab and I was planning on installing qbittorrent in a container, probably through Portainer. I’m already running Soulseek on the server the same way (originally I was running slskd, but it was overly complicated to set up and once it was set up and working there were lots of upload errors and I didn’t like the UI, so I changed to a Nicontine+ docker), but that’s just open to the web.

Yeah, sounds about right. Server is on my home network and I’ve forwarded the applicable wireguard ports on my router so I can remote in. I just want to make sure that if I’m running a torrent client on my server or on my phone while I’m connected remotely then I won’t be getting angry letters from my ISP.

I was actually just reading about VPS’. So would I run into problems if I was torrenting on the VPS? My plan was originally to have my phone always connected to my network (I stream a lot of music at work and sometimes torrent on my phone, then upload the files to my server) and just set up my server on a vpn, but I really wasn’t sure that was possible or practical.

I kinda started a “seedbox” for at least my niche torrents. Most of the mainstream things I download I don’t normally leave to seed that long as there’s already plenty seeding, but a lot of the documentaries or other things that only have single or double digits seeding I’ll make a copy and leave it to seed for a while. I used to host my Plex server from that PC and when I build my new dedicated server I left the storage intact, but transferred my whole library over, so I have a large amount of unused space doing nothing else.

I’m also fairly new to all this. I’m now using Jellyfin for selfhosting. What’s the benefit of enencoding everything?

A lot of people are also questioning why they even have a home PC now. Their Win 10 machine is “out of date” and they need to replace it or else, but their cell phone now does much of what their PC did. Instead of installing Linux and learning a whole new OS, they just cut out their PC and just use their phone.

Here’s the link to the docker I used. There are a few others on github, but this one seemed like it was the most actively updated.

I liked slskd perfectly fine once I got it going, but I couldn’t get my partner to use it as she was used to nicotine and didn’t like the new interface. Once the Docker was set up in Portainer there was very little additional configuration and the rest was inside the nicotine webui app.

Instead of slskd I recommend using nicotine+. I found slskd worked fine, but was a pain to set up. I found a Nicotine docker that works just like the app inside a web UI. Much less of a learning curb for someone who’s not familiar with servers.

Also I think Tesla stock went up a bit since this whole thing started. Muskrat might just be trying to distance himself from Trump to save Tesla’s sales numbers.

I switched over about 2 months ago after I couldn’t get an older game to play after a windows update and kinda just rage quit Windows. It was building for a while, but in the end it was just a little thing that brought it tumbling down. Game worked perfectly fine with proton without any problems or tinkering. I’ve only had trouble getting a couple games working, and neither are big deal breakers.

Yeah. I bought it at least 5 years ago as well for fairly cheap. I ended switching a few years ago because I had problems with my IP leaking, customer service wouldn’t back to me, and I noticed the canary page went blank, so I assumed that something happened to them.

Haha. I too switched to Linux Mint last week. So far no regrets. I’ve actually enjoyed making everything I need to work. Especially because it seems to work better that on the operating system it was designed for. Strange.
