I read your post and understood it.
Why would you reply without trying to understand what I wrote?

Piracy/copying isn’t theft.
Not all countries see copying as theft.
And neither does the platform we’re currently using (Lemmy).

Piracy isn’t theft though.
That’s exactly what corporations want people to think about piracy.

In addition to what you wrote, piracy is also a form of dissent against copyright laws.

I gave an example, I don’t necessarily think that’s the case here. Just not a fan of portraying piracy as a general “bad thing” that is only reserved for corporations.

I’m not from the USA, and I do support my local library :)
But there’s barely any music there and even then it’s mostly local.

RED and OPS has things that are currently impossible to find anywhere else.

Plenty of indie content from Bandcamp on RED and OPS.
For some people piracy is also about archival and preservation.

Looks like they have an even easier to use web app.
Although it’s limited to single files under 200 MB.

It’s a neat idea, but I feel that something like Magic Wormhole would be simpler and better for this.

I guess it’s convenient if everyone in the group is already using a torrent client.

Hasn’t Sci-Hub been frozen since 2021?

Can’t help much since I haven’t tried running a Matrix server in a while now, but are you using Conduit or Conduwuit?
Conduwuit is in much more active development and has more features implemented and bugs fixed.
You could also try opening an issue on Github / ask them on Matrix.

Dendrite doesn’t support sliding sync afaik https://github.com/element-hq/dendrite/issues/3236

Other than Synapse, I know Conduwuit has sliding sync support.

Neat! Glad to hear
Yeah they’ve done a good job with their documentation.
I was tempted by it several times already to try some features I didn’t even consider using.

Yup.
Tailscale has some documentation about it, and also a bunch of examples (And apparently one specific to Immich).

Since you already got some replies, a bit of a different approach would be to set those services up using Docker and having Tailscale as a sidecar to each one of those.
You will then be able to access each one as a seperate device. immich.*.ts.net etc.

Just want to add that at the moment AV1 is only beneficial for encoding to lower bitrate videos.
It’s still better to use x265 for high bitrate.

Just be aware that for a period of time the MX 500 had many reports of high failure rate. Not sure if it was due to a change of components or firmware.
Example post about it: https://www.reddit.com/r/sysadmin/comments/whr5ek/crucial_mx500_historically_good_recent_batches/
An article (In Portuguese).
And another post about it.

Personally I use Newmaxx’s site and spreadsheet which has more indepth information about the SSDs like their controllers and NAND type - https://borecraft.com/
You can also check their subreddit for some reviews and such.
That and some stats from Backblaze and general reviews.
And I use price trackers to make sure I’m getting a good price.

I don’t like going by specific brands, because they all have some less ideal models and some of them tend to change some of the components after a while.

Tailscale funnel lets you expose services to the internet without opening any ports.

There’s also the option of inviting your friends to your Tailscale network and limiting them to specific services. But they’ll have to install it on their devices.

Just chiming in about Tailscale.
The initial connection uses their server just to reach / connect to the other peer. After that, the peers are connected directly and all communication is direct.

I might have misunderstood you, but data transferred inside the tailnet will always be encrypted by Tailscale.
So if you’re connected to a public wifi and someone’s looking at your traffic, accessing a random http site would be clear text, but accessing an http site inside your tailnet will be encrypted.

Unless you define an exit node and tell Tailscale to use it. And then all your traffic will be encrypted from the view of the one looking at your traffic logs from the public wifi (and clear text from the exit node to the random http site).

There’s no need, but if you really want to, you can do it through Tailscale - Provision TLS certificates for your internal Tailscale services
