If OP cant use more than one disk at once, how can they benefit from mergerfs?

Your cpu supports quick sync so I bet you are good without gpu. Try it yourself before buying one, you also drain less power

Im not afraid of command line, but also dont feel like linux guy yet. The thing is that installing and using some distros are way easier than windows. I installed POP OS recently and cant believe how smooth and easy it was. Average windows users might not need command line at all on distro like that

I went for wireguard VPN instead of exposing services. Its much more safe afaik, but you have to configure each device you want to give access (aka scanning QR code). You also dont need to buy a domain for that. Exposed services would be easier to use, especially if you want to use it on many devices

Private trackers I seed until Im running out of storage, public ones up to 1.2 ratio.

I used to upload some content, but dont have anything thats not already available anymore.

I did some donations to our fellow pirates tho

Thx for sharing, looks awesome

Try another tracker like 1337x or even better try to get in some private trackers. Alternatively get usenet (paid service)
