Now THAT is helpful. Excellent.

Yeah, “subscribe to keep reading” is an easy way to ensure I don’t see/click posts with this domain anymore. Thanks for that

That’s a fair take on things. Thanks for the insight. I figure anyone who can build a submarine company and an ocean explorer vessel and some hologram data visualization system and whatever else sort of shenanigans he is up to, has a very different set of concerns around money than most of us do

I was under the impression that he had enough money to self finance Avatar 4 + 5 if need be and was not going to be dissuaded from making them one way or the other

NAS, Jellyfin/Plex, Copyparty (Google Drive replacement), Kiwix (Wikipedia), Joplin, Searxng, Ollama (LLM). Plus all the various searching tools, the maintenance tools, etc. I have pretty strong compartmentalization of my storage into separate media pools that all have their own RAID setups, plus an external backup.

It’s a bit of work to get all set up, but I use docker compose and autoheal / watchtower to keep the services going. I use Caddy and my own domain to make the services I want available externally to my network.

I can appreciate your concern and point of view, but I asked “so if I want to do this, how can I prepare to do it safely?” And your response was “just don’t, do this instead.” I can certainly seed, but that’s not what I’m aiming for. I am far more interested in creating systems and providing content. My time is…flexible. Suffice to say, the time concern is not going to be the roadblock.

I’d be more than a little interested to be pointed towards a guide, or even just a bullet point list, of good opsec considerations or tools for a project like this. I’ve got time and technical ability but don’t spend a lot of time thinking about these concerns. The last thing I want is to cause myself trouble I’m not ready for, but I’d like to make a significant contribution to the community, so I want to prepare adequately.

Any guides or lists you can think of?
