For the books I love and want to read over and over, physical. For the books I want to read once and maybe reference from time to time, digital all the way. My e-reader makes digital books a breeze to read, and I'm actually at the point where it's 5GB of storage isn't enough for my library.

This is what I use Foreman and Katello for. Package mirror with x versions synced automatically with all my machines subscribed. Or it would be, if I ever got around to actually setting the damn thing up. I have a debian package repo and a few things subscribed, but I'd like to add more.

I think your best bet in this case is google drive. Most people have a google account, and if they don't, I believe it's possible to set it up in a way that it will let them upload anyway. I don't think you're getting out of the account requirement, outside of you setting up an anonymous ftp server in a vps or something.

Lemmy by default will federate with all instances if you don't put instances in the "Allowed Instances" section. I've found, it's easier to federatte with all instances and ban the ones you don't want. Otherwise, you effectively use a whitelist to federate.

It's also worth noting that there's an upper limit on the number of communities you choose to federate with, while there doesn't seem to be an upper limit on the blocked communities

I was told by the owner of Beehaw that login cookies are excluded from the cookie dialog requirement, and Lemmy doesn't use tracking cookies which are subject to the requirement.

Saving this for later, thank you very much for the detailed writeup. I might look into this for my main machine to partition the vpn tasks from the non-vpn tasks
