I mean I’m not aware of anyone who has ever been prosecuted for downloading from a provider in the entire history of its existence. So whether or not they keep logs I’m pretty comfortable with it, yeah.

If we’re going to get into hypotheticals like that you shouldn’t pirate anything ever. If the cops banged on my door with a warrant I could easily flush a ten strip and some mdma before answering the door. I’m not degaussing 80+TB of media before they take my door off its hinges.

Wouldn't encrypting the drivers and shutting it all down by a single button press work just like flushing the loo?! 🤔

And it all will still be recoverable, but by you only.

I mean yeah. I’m not worried about the cops serving a warrant on me for downloading pirated media though, so my NAS isn’t encrypted.
