But mullvad stopped allowing port forwarding. Is there an exception for tailscale??

How does this work??? I thought I wouldn’t be able to use Mullvad with port forwarding. Would I need to have a vps? Would the VPS not disallow me for connecting to VPN or detecting p2p traffic?

This worked, thank you!!

For that use case, there’s two things you can do:

1. Rent a seedbox
2. Have a local server for downloading torrents, and use a vpn

My torrent client is transmission. It has many ways to do what you ask.

First there’s a web ui which I can access from my pc or mobile. I can input the magnet link there and download.

Transmission also has an RPC client, and because of that many third party clients exist for it. Android apps, CLIs, etc. For all of which, i paste the magnet link and download.

EDIT: I believe Oracle cloud has something against P2P downloads, but I don’t remember what exactly.

I don’t quite understand the use case. Where are you trying to transfer from? PC? Smartphone (what kind?)? From devices you don’t control?

I use rsync to transfer from, PC, Android and other servers. It works well for my use case.

I am a bit confused, and have a feeling you replied to the wrong comment somehow?

A unified fediverse search service would be awesome, and its something I may try to tackle in the future. Part of why I’m asking this question here!

What do you like about bluesky more?

Better than no one having the ability to follow that person because a centrally controlled social media banned them.

What does Google play do to remediate it?

Couldn’t you do that by just joining an existing server?

Then yes indeed were thinking differently. To me, email has already lost to big tech. The technical possibility of hosting email is there, but you can’t even reach most users of the world without a lot of work.

There’s several vulnerabilities:

• the fediverse unfortunately remains quite centralized. Most users wanna join the big servers. If it wasn’t for the big servers literally driving people away, we would’ve been even more centralized
• most people have no issue with corporate presence in the fediverse. They’re okay with blue sky and okay with threads. In fact, clearly Gargaron is okay with meta and threads.
• big tech already has a federated server that dwarves the rest of the fediverse combined: threads. Yes it’s still not quite there yet, but if they complete its federation, they will dominate it.
• gargaron showed he’s okay selling out to Meta. What prevents another instance admin? A corporation could easily offer enough money to a handful of instance admins and control all these instances.

In my opinion, the fediverse as it exists today is very vulnerable to domination by big tech. The only reason it hasn’t happened yet is it is too small for them to care that much.

If the fediverse ever becomes mainstream, big tech will dominate it. If we want to fight big tech, we need to rethink our strategy and the fediverse, because right now, the fediverse is not ready to take it on.

The fediverse will never destroy big tech unfortunately. In their worst case, they will incorporate it and easily dominate.

Is there even a good alternative to Google? DuckDuckGo does not count to me as it is close source

A team? For what OP described, all you need is one person

I have heard it is ban heavy, but it is still quite active in the memes and the Linux communities, and I enjoy both.

Why is it low? Lemmy scales very well and isn’t resource intensive
