My girlfriend and I watch My Little Pony while we eat dinner sometimes. I also occasionally put cartoons on as background noise, like SpongeBob, Regular Show, Adventure Time, Courage the Cowardly Dog, Ed Edd and Eddy, etc.

My Plex homepage is pretty funny because the continue watching section is The Boys, My Little Pony, Better Call Saul, etc. Pretty big discrepancy there lol

That doesn’t prevent your client from uploading, your client seeds while it is downloading. It will still complete and do the same thing anyway, every client I know of will show as completed when all the requested content is downloaded.

Download smaller movies then. There are trackers that specialize in highly compressed low quality encodes. You will have to make sacrifices somewhere if you don’t want to spend any money on a VPN.

OP, you seem to have a lot of requirements for someone who isn’t willing to spend any money on a VPN. You either trust the VPN provider or you don’t. If you aren’t paying for it, assume your traffic is being monitored and monetized somehow.

You asked about VPNs, people gave you options, and it looks like you’ve turned down every one of them. A free unlimited VPN with no strings attached that allows torrenting at high speeds does not exist. You may as well be searching for a unicorn.

Windscribe has a free tier and you can sign up for unlimited data at a single VPN server for only $1 per month.

I ordered a TrueNAS system from iXsystems a few years ago, and the reasoning they gave me is that Linux has better driver support, especially for home users.

Whether that was actually the reason, I have no clue. But that’s what they said.

Unless it was added in the past couple of years, Minecraft Java Edition does not have a built-in server browser. You can save servers to your list manually, but there’s no central list of them.

Yes, you could of course modify your client to connect to the server anyways, but that requirement would prevent all from the most dedicated players from joining a server and essentially kill the server’s player base.

Minecraft doesn’t have a server browser, you have to input the hostname directly.

The way it works is Mojang publishes a text file of all the banned hostnames and the client downloads this when it starts up. If the server it tries to connect to matches any entries in the blacklist, the connection attempt fails with a cryptic network error.

It’s very shady.
