Maybe I try to host bad software, maybe I am just bad at computing but at this point I feel like I’m getting too old to constantly debug various issues. I just want certain things to work and I’m willing to pay the price for it 😮💨

I’ll never host my own DNS, Email or torrents.
Everything else yes.
DNS was quite easy
Trying to self-host email is the reason most people rage-quit. I tried to do it once, never again!
Why not torrents over a VPN, if you have bandwidth to burn?
I trust my VPS provider more than a VPN. And I want a VPN primarily for privacy, not massive p2p bandwidth or the ability to circumvent geographical restrictions.
Also my seedbox can run 24/7 with the bandwidth capped and it doesn’t have any effect on my life.
If my home internet is uploading at full speed, streaming services start to stutter and that’s annoying.
not hating on a VPS for torrenting, but you fix that stutter by properly setting up priorities and bandwidth limits in your firewall.
If I had a symmetrical connection, I would do that.
But it’s like 1G down and something fucking pathetic up on a good day.
No VPN here. I’m currently seeding 211 torrents. 🤷
