    Spanish is a rather easy language

    German on the other hand not so much. On the other hand, it’s usually very precise and information-dense, which is reflected in how fast it rather slow it’s spoken, especially compared to Spanish.

    I think you’re approaching with the wrong assumptions: first that there is a place that one can just go to where there’s people you’ll like, and second that meeting people you don’t like must be avoided. If people turn out to be awful for you, don’t meet them again, you can’t always know beforehand.

    As others have implied, going somewhere where people with similar interests go can be a good start.

    Just realized he died, but the red bull owner also was a right wing populist who had questionable content published through his TV channel. Also the original drink tastes… not great and is quite expensive

    The seedbox I looked into requires you to provide VPN details, it did not allow using it without one.

    Edit: also as far as I know Switzerland doesn’t have that strong privacy laws as providers claim in advertisements, but they’re not a member of five eyes.

    I used mine for a similar case because my previous provider had shitty peering which caused YouTube etc to not work well, especially Saturday evening (search for Telekom peering of you want to know more). VPN circumvented this. However I have since switched to a better provider

    If you are fine with torrenting using your real IP, then yes. However, here this can easily lead to high legal bills as rightholders can demand pay for damages even if a tracker just returned your IP as a participant of a swarm. There is no first strike here where you just get a mean letter. It goes into the thousands straight away.

    Personally, I wouldn’t do that, especially here with law firms that specialize in that kind of behavior. I rather pay some bucks for that rare case where I want to get something from BitTorrent than risk all that hassle.

    The issue I see with your approach is that you’re looking for a tutorial for something that is basically infinitely flexible, there’s multiple ways to do things, etc.

    By installing NixOS, you have already completed the tutorial. My advice is: Approach your configuration (which is actually code) like a static one first. That is set the values you want, maybe split up files a bit, keep it simple. At one point, you’ll get somewhere where you think that there has to be a better way to do it than just write down everything explicitly. Then, approach problem per problem. At least that’s how I did it.

    Dunno if that’s the best way to do it, if you want to start managing a server farm right now that approach won’t scale of course. The issue with configurations you find online is that they’re rather complex – which makes sense for the cases these people have written them for. But for one or two machines, you don’t need to fold attributes / generate attributes from list etc. right away. If you’re not in a rush, get a feel for everything on a low level first, and then approach the deeper mechanics.
