I currently really enjoy self-hosted Perplexica (a FOSS alternative to the Perplexity AI search engine), which uses SearXNG as a meta-crawler, and Ollama for local AI integration. I’m very happy with it, but it requires a fairly powerful server (not a Raspberry Pi or another SBC, the only one that might work is the Nvidia Jetson or whatever it’s called, but I haven’t tried that yet).

Is that "Truth Social"😂?

Deutsche Welle isn’t much better btw. They still call it “Israel-Hamas war”, although the Israeli fascist government has clearly shown that their highest priority is committing genocide against innocent Palestinian civilians, not fighting Hamas

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 just adb installed the SmartTube APK from my laptop over the network

Does F-Droid even have an Android TV client?

Champagne Piracy Wiki has a Non-Piracy section

Since you said you use NewPipe on a TV, I assume it’s some sort of Android TV? Why don’t you just use SmartTube?

I agree, i2pd is so much better than the legacy Java client, it should really become the default client for I2P.

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.

What do you use now? AirVPN? Proton?

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?

Revanced is a patched version of the YouTube app, so Google could block installations of YouTube outside Google Play. I have no idea how this doesn’t violate antitrust laws, Google is a monopolistic piece of shit and seriously needs to be broken up and fined into oblivion.

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.
