I don't have direct answer to the question, but I generally don't add public trackers to my (public) torrents. DHT/PEX usually works fine for me for finding seeds on the occasion that I do need something from public torrent sites.
I wonder whether adding additional trackers only increases the speed in which peers are found or whether it also substantially increases the likelihood of finding peers.
You're right, IVPN does not support port forwarding. The other three do.
Edit: IVPN seems to have removed port forwarding at the same time Mullvad did.
A few good ones are AirVPN, ProtonVPN, Njalla, ~~IVPN~~.
Das ist der Punkt bei dem ich die Befürworter des second-amendments verstehen kann. Denn wo genau die Grenze zwischen Freiheit des Individuums und den Risiken einer Einschränkung liegt, ist nicht einfach festzulegen.
Ich sehe das Recht auf Privatsphäre als deutlich wichtiger an, als Strafverfolgung zu erleichtern. Bei Schusswaffen (die meiner mMn. nur sehr selten für gute Zwecke eingesetzt werden) ziehe ich die Grenze.
A basic requirement most devices don't meet is the ability to relock the bootloader. Other than Fairphone, Google Pixel and OnePlus basically no manufacturers allow unlocking and subsequently relocking the bootloader, which makes custom ROMs inherently less secure than stock. This keeps CalyxOS from most devices. LineageOS can't be relocked and thus is able to support way more devices.
Others have pointed out more in-depth security requirements GrapheneOS specifically thinks of as mandatory (they do take security very seriously).
Yes. I like to leave the original link in the post body for that reason.
Sadly it's not possible to provide links using Firefox Translate. People would have to translate it themselves (i.e. opening in a browser and clicking translate). Depending on the device they likely wouldn't bother.
Agreed. In general people seem to like centralised platforms. They don't want to sign up on another site for a specific purpose. They stick to what they know unless there's good reason to change (mostly peer/ad/social media pressure I feel like).
In a way Lemmy is similar in that it's a single platform to access all types of content. Given most people don't care about the technical "how", I can see why they like Discord and Reddit.
If you pay 10€ per month for a VPN, cancel and switch to something better. E.g. njalla always costs 5€/m with port forwarding.
If you're on a private tracker with CGNAT you need to use a VPN to be able to port forward. Without port forwarding many will ban you.
It's only an issue if the files aren't properly named. If you're using *arr this won't be an issue. E.g. "Title (Year) - TMBD/TVDB ID" works flawlessly.
Trying to actually restore is the best way to ensure the backup works. But it's annoying so I never do it.
I usually trust restic to do it's job. Validating that files are there and are readable can be done with
restic mount, and you've mentioned restic check.The best way to ensure your data is safe is to do a second backup with another tool. And keep your keys safe and accessible. A remote backup has no use of the keys burned down.
