You can try rclone, but their Proton Drive integration is in beta

XCP-ng is pretty cool
Since you said you use NewPipe on a TV, I assume it’s some sort of Android TV? Why don’t you just use SmartTube?
I will eventually move to a VPS provider who doesn’t mind public torrents
There aren’t many providers where this is the case, that’s why I’m looking into getting a cheap dedicated server from an actual seedbox provider. Some have them, e.g. RapidSeedbox and seedhost.eu. RapidSeedbox dedicated servers are really expensive though.
Ok well the ECO boxes don’t really work as a seedbox, as they’re highly limited in bandwidth. Even if I don’t download anything, I still seed the torrent for others to download it. That’s the main purpose of a seedbox I guess. Since your ECO box only really acts as a downloader anyway, wouldn’t it be easier and cheaper to just get a VPN for downloading torrents, or a service like RealDebrid?
Currently on Iridium G10, I was on Gold G10 before, but ran out of storage. It’s pretty expensive though, and I’m open for better suggestions. I think the next one I’m gonna try out is AppBox. Unfortunately no XMR, but they offer other crypto currencies such as BTC, ETH, LTC, BCH and others. seedboxes.cc also seems interesting. I’m also looking into getting a dedicated server from seedhost.eu for ~30 EUR/month.
What do you use now?
You can accomplish the same with dnscrypt-proxy and Orbital Sync for Pi-Hole. You can also run a recursive DNS server using Unbound.
I currently use GigaRapid, because they are one of the few providers that let me pay with Monero. If I find a better provider, I might switch though.
I know nothing about seedboxes
It’s basically just a cheap virtual server running e.g. Deluge or ruTorrent, hosted by a torrent-friendly provider in some country that doesn’t give a fuck about DMCA notices. Most don’t allow the user to access the underlying Linux system though, but mine does actually give me a root shell.
I’m gonna have to look into deploying another torrent client on the seedbox, besides my current ruTorrent installation. My provider also offers dedicated servers. They’re more expensive, but I might go with one so I can seed on the clearnet and I2P. It will probably have enough overhead CPU, RAM and bandwidth, so I can also run a Tor node and maybe IPFS.
The new Element X is really great, but only available for iOS and Android. Unfortunately no desktop or web version.
Ok then use a firewall like https://github.com/henrypp/simplewall (I assume that this was on Windows) to block these apps’ internet access. There are other good options like the Safing Portmaster (which also works on Linux), OpenSnitch (Linux) and LuLu or Little Snitch on macOS. There are many more options for Linux, iptables, nftables, firewalld, or ufw with a GUI like gufw.
they also add personal information to any file you generate with the softwares
In that case, I’m using a VM where there is absolutely no information about me
The Darknet Diaries podcast made a really good episode about The Pirate Bay, telling the entire story, including funny stories like the responses to these letters, and interviewing Peter Sunde, one of the 3 founders. https://darknetdiaries.com/episode/92/
Shouldn’t it technically be possible to set this up with bitmagnet? Does anyone have experience with that?
I recommend using i2pd, a more performant and stable version, rewritten in C++, instead of the normal I2P client, which is written in Java and can sometimes have performance issues.
I use ruTorrent, pretty happy with it
Keep using FreshRSS, just deploy something like fivefilters-full-text-rss-docker alongside it, to get full text RSS feeds from websites, that don’t provide them. If you don’t want to self-host, there’s morss.it. Chris Titus Tech once made a few videos about this:

Now read your own comment and reconsider if it actually made sense to post this
