Hetzner is a good recommendation. Look at the webhosting packages, they all contain mailboxes and a domain and you can upgrade if the space is not enough.

I would not use a .cc domain, but look for something more reputable like .com or, if he is in Germany (as web.de suggests) .de. I would strongly advise against running a mail server on your own. There is some work involved keeping it secure and also playing nice with all receivers (don’t want his emails being flagged or even deleted as spam).

That said, if he is applying in Germany, a web.de email is absolutely fine. Lots of people use that here.

The FBI and NSA actually advocated for end to end encryption recently. So either they have finally come to their senses or they have acquired the ability to break everything easily.

If that’s a dns server, that will help with a lot, but not against everything. Some malware has hardcoded IPs to phone home, so they don’t need to look up any ips.

And half of it is used by Chinese spyware.

That open source performer is very much aligned with Winnie the poohs censorship, which should be worrying.

But my clue led here

Well, maybe you are getting pictures from someone else’s account.

So that is how school transgender surgeries work.

I have a similar setup and in the end just went for a cheap chinese („ESKEVE“) 4x HDMI 2.0 KVM switch that supports 4K60. No problems except HDR does not work properly, which is not useful on my monitor anyway. Laptops are on USB-C docks with HDMI 2.0 out, PC uses a passive DP to HDMI cable.

Any HDD should be able to get at least 100MB/s sequential write speed. Unfortunately torrent writes are usually very random, which just kills hdd performance. Multiple parallel downloads or concurrent playback from the same disk will only make it worse.

Using a SSD for temporary files will absolutely help. It should be big enough to hold all the files you are downloading at any one time.

You could also try to find a write cache setting that works for you. That way what would usually be many small writes can be combined to bigger chunks in memory before sending them to storage. Depending on how much ram is available I would start at 1GB or so and if it is still bottlenecking try in- or decreasing until it improves. Of course always stay in the range of free ram.

Back when I was torrenting (ages ago) write cache helped a lot. It should be somewhere in the settings menu.

l2arc is a read cache. Slog only is for synchronous writes.
