I run uptime-kuma on a cheap VPS and have it ping my external ports on the home server. If the house loses internet I still get alerts.

No, unless the game you're playing is trying to download ads then you might have some minor issues but it shouldn't effect online multiplayer.

I've used AirVPN for this exact setup and it works great. The port forwarding is static and doesn't change once setup. I switched to proton because it was convenient, I was already paying for ProtonMail et all, so I dropped the extra VPN subscription when it renewed.

I use restic with a wrapper script to automate it on all of my machines. The backend storage can be anything that speaks S3, so B2, or iDrive would both work. I currently use Storj for my backend. It's globally distributed storage, so no single point of failure geographically and it's cheap. Backblaze is also a great company, but I've grown a little skeptical since they went public.

As others have pointed out, just get a VPN and run your torrents through that. I've used AirVPN and ProtonVPN. Both are P2P friendly and even offer inbound port forwarding. It would be easier to setup and likely cheaper too. Proton is incorporated in Switzerland and has servers all over the world.

I had an ATI all in wonder 9600. That card was very unique because it also had a built in TV tuner and AV capture card that could turn your PC into a DVR of sorts. It went into an agp slot before PCIe was a thing.

Signal. I use it anyway so it's not an extra "bloated" app and I know all the secrets I send over the app are encrypted.

If you use a password manager, most have a notes feature that works well too.

Yes I have tried whole grains and they still taste sweet to me

Even so, its still difficult to avoid sugar in normal foods like bread. Even the nicer bread brands still have some amount of added sugar and I can taste it

Wasn't this exact scenario posted to r/talesfromtechsupport a few years ago? It sounds very familiar

That's true. i do sometimes have issues with the ZFS package not compiling because of a too new kernel not being supported yet.
