Are there any parts of self hosting or running your own server at home that seem insurmountable? I can answer any questions you have. Everyone should have a home.arpa or home domain they can access
>>108562427no thanks it's trivial and ChatGPT knows better than you anyway
>>108562427I got confused, so I just bought a DAS :(
>>108563660I imagine he doesn't arpaservers.com
Ive had this question since forever, but any OS that's like arch but for servers? I'd like to use pacman and arch for a server but having it be stable and security releases only like Ubuntu ltsc, but there's no arch flavor like that as far as I know
>>108563660Can it install loonix already? How about gentoo? How about from scratch?Until then geepeety is only as useful as searching the webs, just faster.>>108562427Do you know of any actors that would do DoS attacks on people seeding movies etc? I just don't do much of that, clueless. People harden their torrent clients or what?What about that new library that is used under the hood of all clients? libtorrentsomething. It's got a v2. Worth trying or is there a problem with that one?
>>108565778great questions, thanks for joinging me this fine day. I too had the arch for my server question. package management on apt is fucking cancer. i have so many fucking issues with apt it's unreal. I had to make custom update scripts for code maintainers who cannot get apt to work for them or just don't botherhttps://github.com/homeserversltd/updates/tree/master/modules/atuinatuin is fucking amazing btw, their new update curl script is cancer, it's manual 3 questions every time you run it. So i need to basically write my own shell script just for them. . . pacman would have solved this. alas we are left with the cancer that is apt. you are correct there is no arch flavor like that. That is something I could look into developing long term, but largely if i were to pivot my distro it would probably be devuan with my own init system that i haven't fully built out https://github.com/homeserversltd/sysXuntil then, you genuinely can run arch as server tech. there's literally nothing stopping you and it will be reliable and stable* . if things break just ssh in and fix them, it's fine. pacman is what makes arch incredible. don't be afraid to embrace the pain
>>108565810so largely speaking, the play right now is to load transmission / bittorrent client under a vpn namespace, a segmented network off of your main server, with only the one port open that the port forwarding has assigned you. So your exposure is your throw away namespace that can't touch the rest of your system too much. And you include tech to teardown the whole mini stack the second the vpn breaks in anywaythat's largely the extent of torrent hardening right now, there are other options, but to my knowledge this is the most popular.>libtorrentsomething. It's got a v2.looks like i have some new tech to research, i haven't looked into this, thank you for the info
>>108565938I see. So it's "let it burn" basically. And isolate the potential fire hazard.I'd actually add some sort of script that would make the currently seeding files read only, just in case.Do you think it makes sense to expose them through samba or nfs? We're talking home lab, personal, not some sort of crazy tracker with high traffic.If you never tried that, it's ok. Point is to actually ask a real person, 'cause LLMs hallucinate all the time and talk gibberish.
What is home.arpa or a home domain?What do you do with a 'home server'?
