I guess you live in a country with loads of spare IP addresses. Here in the UK they change every few days and IPs get rotated between all ISPs, so you can’t even deduct which ISP I’m using. And sometimes my IP is not even a mainland UK IP, but some weird shit from across the world, because Empire, lol.

Your IP changes all the time, it doesn’t matter. The best someone can deduct from your IP is the country.

If you want to run Ollama and other ML stuff, you’re looking at buying an RTX4090, my friend. Affordable and ML are two things you can’t put into one sentence.

I have four Raspberry Pi 4 running, so that’s 15W max each or 60W max total. Usually they consume much much less.

Good!

Again, it might be news for you, but it’s a huge business with many layers. There are plenty of professional rippers and crackers who earn a living one way or another. There are plenty of underground translators and streamers. Ads, hostings, seed boxes, TV boxes, different partnerships - there’s a lot of money flowing.

Just go to any public tracker and you will see ads. Download some subtitles and they often contain ads as well. And then you have partnerships like targeted attacks on software developers, etc. Then there are normies who are getting scammed into buying pirated content for full retail price by physical media vendors. All kinds of handy people who will install you a dish to receive pirated satellite TV “for free”.

Use a seed box to torrent, then simply download the files from it.

People who pirate content don’t do it for free. It might be news to you, but piracy is a huge business.

Just don’t forget that YOU are a part of this greed.

If you have more money, that means that society values you more. Thus you matter more. You’re just a better human being when you have more money.

In any non commercial way. Or even commercial with a licence. They actually ask you to obtain permission to any use, but that’s because not all of their content is their own creation and their legal team must work out which parts you can use and which are covered by 3rd parties.

BBC is funded by the public, thus everything they produce belongs to the public. Kinda. If you live in the UK and pay for a TV licence, you can do pretty much anything with their content.

Because when you’re using Docker, you shouldn’t use Proxmox. And to be fair, I don’t understand why people are using Proxmox at all.

Maybe normal, maybe not. What software do you run there?

I thought about setting up a mini PC, which can work beautifully, but the apps are crap, so I decided against that idea. I mean I personally can deal with hacky solutions, but not my family members. Synology software turned out to be a transparent replacement for the services my family is using.

$18 per year? No thanks. But a good find.

Are they small spikes spread across time or large chunks of heavy load, like 80%+ load for hours? If it’s the first, then probably it’s just normal operation. Otherwise check your running processes and start tracking what’s going on during high loads.

Ok, show me a good SFTP client which auto-uploads the photos I take on Android an iOS devices, let’s me share them with anyone I wish and creates a photo library with tags, date grouping, etc.

Ok, great to know, thanks!
