Bazzite + Lutris works really well

You can also play around with things like ProtonGE-custom, there’s a very useful tool called ProtonUp-Qt that helps you install it, among with other useful stuff

Some people also reported that running (pirated, Windows-exclusive) games in the Heroic launcher works pretty well

I’m just waiting for Bluesky to introduce ads.

Would Matrix be fine? You can find my user name in my profile.

Is there any reason why you can’t name the provider you have in mind? Perhaps in a DM? I’m just curious ;)

This was actually meant as a suggestion for you, since you mentioned that you want to put all of your stuff, including the seedbox, onto one single cloud server (hosted by a provider that allows this), so I recommended to just get a cheap dedicated server from an actual seedbox provider.

I will eventually move to a VPS provider who doesn’t mind public torrents

There aren’t many providers where this is the case, that’s why I’m looking into getting a cheap dedicated server from an actual seedbox provider. Some have them, e.g. RapidSeedbox and seedhost.eu. RapidSeedbox dedicated servers are really expensive though.

Ok well the ECO boxes don’t really work as a seedbox, as they’re highly limited in bandwidth. Even if I don’t download anything, I still seed the torrent for others to download it. That’s the main purpose of a seedbox I guess. Since your ECO box only really acts as a downloader anyway, wouldn’t it be easier and cheaper to just get a VPN for downloading torrents, or a service like RealDebrid?

Currently on Iridium G10, I was on Gold G10 before, but ran out of storage. It’s pretty expensive though, and I’m open for better suggestions. I think the next one I’m gonna try out is AppBox. Unfortunately no XMR, but they offer other crypto currencies such as BTC, ETH, LTC, BCH and others. seedboxes.cc also seems interesting. I’m also looking into getting a dedicated server from seedhost.eu for ~30 EUR/month.

What do you use now?

I currently use GigaRapid, because they are one of the few providers that let me pay with Monero. If I find a better provider, I might switch though.

I know nothing about seedboxes

It’s basically just a cheap virtual server running e.g. Deluge or ruTorrent, hosted by a torrent-friendly provider in some country that doesn’t give a fuck about DMCA notices. Most don’t allow the user to access the underlying Linux system though, but mine does actually give me a root shell.

I’m gonna have to look into deploying another torrent client on the seedbox, besides my current ruTorrent installation. My provider also offers dedicated servers. They’re more expensive, but I might go with one so I can seed on the clearnet and I2P. It will probably have enough overhead CPU, RAM and bandwidth, so I can also run a Tor node and maybe IPFS.

Does anyone know of a fairly uncomplicated method to set up my seedbox, so I can seed on the clearnet and I2P at the same time, without having to store two copies of all my torrents? I already seed terrabytes of torrent data, and I don’t want to store duplicates of all that.

Yet another reason to switch to Firefox, or even better, a hardened fork like LibreWolf !librewolf@lemmy.ml
