Idk but I wouldn’t risk it when it’s easy to encrypt stuff. Good security is done in layers.

What about a torrent? You’ll have to encrypt with 7zip or something to keep it secure, but that and qbitorrent will do the trick.

You won’t be able to upgrade to new versions when the support contract runs out, but you can install updates to the existing version as long as updates are made for it. This has always been the lifecycle for perpetual licensing. It’s good forever, but at a certain point it becomes a security risk to continue using. The difference here is they won’t sell you another perpetual license when the lifecycle is up.

They’re terminating in the sense that they won’t sell it anymore. They’re not breaking the licensing they’ve already sold (mostly, there was some fuckery with activating licensing they sold through third parties)

I find public trackers are easier to get good ratios since more people use them. Private trackers are better for finding what you want and having it actually have seeders, though.

I 3D print a “missile switch cover” type of . It makes it possible to flip the switch easy enough, but prevents turning it off by muscle memory.

For CG-NAT, it wouldn’t even be possible for the ISP to identify the account that committed the alleged infringement without logging traffic, right?

I haven’t done this before, but I see that NUT can run an SNMP server and present itself as a UPS, basically passing through the info from USB to SNMP. I’d probably go that way, then configure the Synology to query SNMP and shut itself down automatically.
