idk, ask the nazis that are mad it got switched out.

cracker barrel had a logo with racist undertones, like the other logos above it. it has recently been retired, much to the outrage of conservatives.

There’s no appreciable difference on how they affect systems between the two for site owners.

Cheering for Cloudflare to be the arbiter of what technologies are allowed is incredibly short sighted. They exist to provide their clients with services, including bot mitigation.

Well I suppose it’s a good thing then that the anti-AI shield is opt-in, and Cloudflare isn’t making any decisions for anyone on whether or not AI scrapers get to visit their pages. That little bit of context makes your entire argument fall apart.

It should be pointed out that Cloudflare didn’t say they were going to block AI traffic, they give you the option to. The service is a free opt-in for people who want it.

The anti-AI shield and bot-fight mode are free, you don’t need to pay anything to use them.

Wireguard disconnects the WiFi.

However, it has been pointed out to me that my problem was using the GUI for NetworkManager to add the VPN, which apparently is shit for Wireguard. I added the VPN using nmcli instead and so far it’s working as intended.

I don’t think it’s Bazzite, as it didn’t work on NixOS or Nobara either. It’s got to be something with my ISP, because as I said in my previous comment, it hasn’t worked over multiple distros.

EDIT: it’s been pointed out to me that using NetworkManager for Wireguard setup is shit. Instead use nmcli, this seems to have solved my problem.

I’m using Bazzite Linux with KDE, and for me Wireguard setup is copy/pasting several bits of information on multiple settings pages. OpenVPN is just downloading a single config file and inputting my user/pass.

Also, Wireguard disconnects so often, no matter which distro I’m on, that it’s a pain in the butt having to reconnect a few times an hour. Not to mention that I can’t have it set to autoconnect on login, or my internet doesn’t work until I disconnect and reconnect.

A server is just a PC whose primary purpose is serving apps or files. You can run Docker off of your desktop easily, people just usually segregate stuff like that to an unused PC that they then call a server. Your Docker server could be a laptop, a Raspberry Pi, or in my case a Dell desktop I stole out of a trash can at my last corporate job.

Don’t run your torrent client in a VM, that doesn’t actually provide you with any additional security.

Use a Docker container instead. Binhex has torrent+vpn containers that will fetch the random open port number from Proton and pipe it into qBittorrent for you, as well as make sure the port is updated if the VPN drops. The container also acts as a killswitch.

Turn the Proton killswitch off and use split tunneling, then bind your torrent client to the VPN. This is more reliable than a built-in killswitch.

Or if you’re on Linux, spin up one of Binhex’s bittorrent+vpn containers. Since you’re using Proton, the containers from Binhex will automagically make sure your torrent client is using the random open port Proton picks each time you connect.

That won’t work for the OP, they are using Proton VPN, which randomizes the port number in a half-hearted attempt to “stop” piracy. They would need to use a script to bind their torrent client to the open port each time the container started, and also any time the connection was lost and Proton reconnected.

Binhex has images that do this automatically, but as far as I know there isn’t any other way to do it that’s as easy or reliable as an all-in-one container. Binding it to a Gluetun container will connect, but you won’t get very good speeds or peers because it won’t be port forwarded.

idk why you’re surprised it said this, several people have actually made a business of this. I’m not saying you should do it, but you can go online right now and get shit mailed to people.
