Computers and the internet gave you freedom. Trusted Computing would take your freedom.

unless you span multiple boxes of discs which is a pain in the ass
FTFY
with two drives (preferably different brands/age, HDD or SSD doesn’t really matter) in it using a checksumming filesystem like btrfs or ZFS so that you can do regular scrubs to verify data integrity.
an important detail here is to add the 2 disks to the filesystem in a way so that the second one does not extend the capacity, but adds parity. on ZFS, this can be done with a mirror vdev (simplest for this case) or a raidz1 vdev.
went with an ssd in this idea since its more durable than a mechanical, better price for storage capacity
how? sorry but that does not add up to me. for the price of a 2 TB SSD you could by a much larger HDD
and most likely to be compatible with other computers in the future in case you need it for whatever reason.
both of these use SATA plugs, it should be the same
there is 0% risk until your country makes a law that prohibits any and all P2P communication. That would not only break torrents, but would thwart signal/telegram/whatsapp calls too, Jitsi meetings, probably google meet and zoom too, as all those use P2P traffic for performance.
So far there are only such laws in far east countries, and the official java I2P router is smart enough to not participate in routing when you are in such a place.
Also, I think for routing to work you need to open a port, without it that won’t be done.
as a node
I know nothing about seedboxes, but on a computer you can point multiple torrents to the same directory. If you make it read-only, by permission or mount options or whatever, the torrent client can’t even fuck it up
I was hesitant to open this post because I already know about rustdesk, but eventually I did to see the community’s opinion on it. I’m so glad that I did because this is terrible!
I think more people should hear about all of this
or neither, when cloosing open source tools worth their salt. in more and more fields such tools appear, fortunately
I had the impression that it has a Russian connection, but anyways, it’s good to be in the lookout for such things
in my book they are more of a risk than the USA. The USA already has political influence, for china to do it they need to use more extreme methods, like infiltrating your computer and use it and perhaps you as their tools
it wasn’t abandoned, they are developing an overhaul with a more efficient sync API that required them to rethink how it works internally
there are moderation abilities, but instead of all-seeing global moderators it must be done by the little poor room owner, and the mods they have granted permission.
if the existing owner/mods don’t do that, and disgusting content starts appearing in the room, that means they probably aren’t active anymore, and that it’s time to make a new room with the still active members before something even more damaging happens, like an uncontrollable high volume spammer, at which point you won’t be able to tell the others that you have made a new room.
honestly I use the man command whenever I can. It gives distro-specific info, that documents the right version and any distro-specific patches
to be quite honest I don’t want to see any large business around my project unless they are paying. They are not my target audience, and I’m not eriting to funnel money into their pockets
Also, Linux does not auto-update itself, and that’s bad mostly when looking at the programs (like the web browser) that did that automatically, and here it can’t anymore.
I understand that most users don’t update their system and the utils they downloaded, but that’s essential for a web browser.
I was considering that I should just install Firefox as the fatpak for everyone, instead of the core package manager, for this and other reasons, but my users have so little memory in their old machines that it’s already barely necessary.
I hate to say this, but windows rarely breaks itself from updates. basic things like the desktop, audio and the lock screen is essentially never broken after an update.
yeah it may reset the audio settings and other such things, and I don’t know how do they manage to do that, but that’s relatively simple to revert.
probably it’s just thanks to old, battle tested code though. can’t wait for Linux desktop systems to reach that point
having it just work is a necessary step to gett there
Automatic updates are essential. and unfortunately, it should not be an option to keep an old version of something, because through shared libraries it will hold back the entire system. fatpaks should be used for those programs.
Fortunately it’s getting there, like KDE is working on it too, but it’s still got a long way.
oh, I see now, sorry! from mechanical I instantly thought you mean an HDD
