Suggesting NixOS to a completely new user is stupid. NixOS is cool but very different from almost all Linux distros. Comes with its own language you have to learn as well.

Thing is. Mint is for the most part a just works distro. Based on Ubuntu it is very easy to find help for it. Combine that with a load of sane defaults like disabling snaps. The default UI and theme could defiantly use a facelift

Because when a ad gets served true the same domain as the content you can not block it. DNS filtering Is good but not a magic bullet

Yes please help i2p grow. It is better in many ways and just lacks content for the most part.

While coming up with such flawed laws as well. I doubt they even look at the feedback

Instead of a VPN just route everything true tor. And block anything that tries to get around it.

For music. I use navidrome. It works a load better then jellyfin for this IMO. You can use the same file location for both jellyfin and navidrome if needed.

You can lead a horse to water but you can not make it drink.

It not only hurts tor because it usage up bandwith but in other ways as well. Torrenting makes many peer to peer connections which hurts tor in multiple ways. I suggest reading the docs of tor to better understand how and why this is.

I dont understand your question about I2P. You need some form of I2P router to use I2P in anyway.

Torrenting on Tor actually hurts the network. Compare that to I2P where it makes the network better. I2P is designed with torrenting in mind.

Sounds like you are a data hoarder haha. Can’t blame you. But for such hobby’s perhaps a ZFS system with deduplication and a second ZFS system to use for backup of the first system is what you want.

Does get costly though.

Can someone give me a tldr about why the hate towards Pewdiepie? I have not followed him in absolute years.

Oké grandpa, its time to take your meds

The tux logo at boot is due to a kernel option. You can enable this if you like.

Ripping straight from tidal and self hosting with navidrome 😁

Well yes but if you are migrating almost anything to Linux. this might be worth while over expensive windows infrastructure.

That is with any piece of software. their will always be some vulnerabilities that are very bad. so by your definition using any piece of software is a concern.

For such a setup I think it Is a good idea to look in to freeipa/idm. Would make management a load more easy. centralized account control and being able to sit at any PC and login with your own credentials is one of the many benefits.

A load of those so called vulnerabilities are way overblown and in most cases require you to be logged in anyway.
