No, unless they're set up poorly. I've visited sites that ran the same check on every single webpage, and I've visited sites that do unnecessarily difficult and lengthy jobs to verify, and they always lose my traffic for it. Not that they care, considering I've used adblockers religiously since losing a hard drive to a malvertisement in 2011.

    I live in Texas. I very nearly did not vote this year. Literally the only reason I did is because my grandma came over on election day and said, "Come on, let's go vote." I'm glad she did.

    With the way they're acting, you'd think that these dudes wanted Republicans to maintain control.

    Oh believe me, they do. I've literally been told how much more awful Democrats are than Republicans. IIRC, the reasoning behind that was some vague shit about liberals watering down true leftism or something. Like, yeah, one side wants to establish a fascist totalitarian government and has literally set out to murdering foreigners and dissenters with ICE, but hey, your identity politics are more important.

    Yeah, I ditched my first private tracker because they enforced use of uTorrent. Kickbacks I assume. I've heard they don't anymore, but I still consider them compromised.

    I've been about, and so far, almost everyone's advice has been, "Buy a Pixel and install Graphene," which I think is frankly quite unrealistic. Even the cheapest device that's still supported (Pixel 6) is still about $200 refurbished, and that apparently loses support one month later (October 2026).

    So basically, are there any options for people who aren't wealthy?

     

    I've been setting up a music server on my home server recently, looking to move away from private hosting options like iBroadcast, but I've hit a bit of a snag when it comes to actually accessing my server when away from home.

    The two most common recommendations I've seen are Cloudflare and OpenVPN. My router supports OVPN access, so I gave that a try, but couldn't ever actually make it work. I don't know for sure, but I think it's probably something with my ISP that I can't really easily work around. As far as Cloudflare goes, setting up a tunnel requires you to have a domain set up with them even if you're just using Warp, and since I don't have one, that's not an option.

    What other good options are there for remote access? I'm running Open Media Vault as my server. Thanks.

    Edit: Based on responses, it looks like Tailscale is the way to go since it's all private to me. Thanks everyone!
