yeah, but for OP's amount that's an overkill, the drives are very expensive

unless you span multiple boxes of discs which is a pain in the ass

FTFY

with two drives (preferably different brands/age, HDD or SSD doesn't really matter) in it using a checksumming filesystem like btrfs or ZFS so that you can do regular scrubs to verify data integrity.

an important detail here is to add the 2 disks to the filesystem in a way so that the second one does not extend the capacity, but adds parity. on ZFS, this can be done with a mirror vdev (simplest for this case) or a raidz1 vdev.

went with an ssd in this idea since its more durable than a mechanical, better price for storage capacity

how? sorry but that does not add up to me. for the price of a 2 TB SSD you could by a much larger HDD

and most likely to be compatible with other computers in the future in case you need it for whatever reason.

both of these use SATA plugs, it should be the same

there is 0% risk until your country makes a law that prohibits any and all P2P communication. That would not only break torrents, but would thwart signal/telegram/whatsapp calls too, Jitsi meetings, probably google meet and zoom too, as all those use P2P traffic for performance.

So far there are only such laws in far east countries, and the official java I2P router is smart enough to not participate in routing when you are in such a place.
Also, I think for routing to work you need to open a port, without it that won't be done.

as a node

  • you are unable to see the contents of traffic you route thanks to layered encryption
  • you wont be routing traffic to the internet (unless you specifically set it up), but only to other I2P routers

I know nothing about seedboxes, but on a computer you can point multiple torrents to the same directory. If you make it read-only, by permission or mount options or whatever, the torrent client can't even fuck it up

I can guess too! With my guess, AI is already using 420 TWh annually!

What if we wouldn't guess anything like this? This is not just not meaningful, but straight out misleading.

I remember that roku TVs refuse working until you connect it to the internet. their values/intentions are clear, I wouldn't give money to them

edit: they also require registering a roku account

regardless if that's true, it had a lot of improvements across a long time, and they did not stop coming

Totally. For now, I'm only running I2P though. But it maxes out my uplink so it's probably better this way for now.
