I agree, it should be global by default and changeable per account

you'll be fine when using a VPN, just make sure it doesn't leak. in qbittorent you can assign the network interface directly to the VPN.

or get a seedbox

learn to sail, you're only truly free on the 7 seas

can anyone confirm this tho? havent found anything out of the ordinary with the only 2 releases on 1337x (.to that is)

(network wise) it isn't about number of active torrents but the amount of active connections you have in total, which is very dependent on your router, isp, vpn. but usually if they aren't shit, and especially on a private tracker you'll run into other bottlenecks like bandwidth, io, or whatever

literally lol, the idea of doing a r/place every year was already really unpopular as there was little cultural change. I wonder if they're going to do anything unique compared to last time.

yes, when adding the torrent in your client, save it to the same place and run a recheck. it'll see what's missing and download it

the thing with chromium being everywhere is with the illusion of choice. there's like 10 major browsers, as a end-user who doesn't really know any better they might all seem different but in reality theyrall based on chromium, with Firefox being the exception

It all just depends on how much you trust the app, and how you've set up things when it does go wrong. Not every container needs to be able to access other containers on the system, lan, have access to whatever folder, read/write permissions, etc

A good practice for things like vaultwarden would be to only whitelist the country/state you're in to minimize your attack profile

fail2ban or crowdsec can also help with all the rats sniffing around
