  • 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


  • yeah, and more generally, Tor is optimized for light services both in-network and through outproxies (because there are many of those), and I2P is more optimized for large transfers and many connections in-network, and very unsuitable for internet access because there’s only a few overwhelmed outproxies, among which load is not even attempted to be distributed by the default I2P router configuration.

    the reason for why I2P is more suitable for torrenting is unclear to me, though, other than the maintainers telling that. possibly because almost everyone who wants to use the network will participate actively in routing traffic, and so there is relatively a lot more routers than on Tor
