Because at least when you use their private routing feature messages go: sender -> custom sender’s server -> custom receiver’s server -> receiver

So unless sender and receiver are configured to use servers under your control, there will be at least one foreign server involved.

To be fair I’m not sure how that works, when you don’t use their private routing feature.

If you like SimpleX, you can host a server and configure your clients to use that. You don’t use only your server though, so I don’t know if this will satisfy your requirements.

I’m pretty sure GOG releases checksums so you can check against those whether you have the right files.

Then you’ve never used the German Kleinanzeigen.de.

Okay, so you’re saying this will never be broadly used. Got it.

OpenZiti allows to only allow predefined ports/services via VPN: https://netfoundry.io/docs/openziti

There are M.2 adapters that split out 5 SATA ports. I don’t know about their chipsets and whether they require cooling though.

Ha!

If you’re looking for something similar but simpler, there’s Gameyfin.

Those 200MB/s probably weren’t synchronous transfers. The OS tells you the write was complete, but it actually hasn’t committed the data to disk yet. (Wild guess)

Do you have the 8GB version of the Pi 5? You shouldn’t set the ARC to 8GB then. Usually it about half of the available system RAM. I’d probably set it lower if there’s only 8GB available in total.

Sometimes I get a captcha of death there.

Well, then fuck you too, buddy.

Hm, I guess not big enough to matter.

Some of that stuff is on https://www.zoom-platform.com/

Then you probably want Frost via Hyphanet. Or maybe IPFS.

Heavily gated? What’s heavily gated about Gnutella?
