I got my license for free from Microsoft, they literally gave them away when 10 was first launching, it was some kind of ambassador program ig but whatever it was it didnt require paying for anything.

First time ive had a legitimate windows license since xp

Funkwhale is still actively maintained, the last release was less than a year ago.

i host a funkwhale pod and load content to it off qobuz and deezer.

what benefit is there to use the same name? Even if its the same people you gotta figure zero rep is better than negative rep in this case.

I think the idea here is that you are running your own discord, and only people with modded clients can use it because its not approved by discord.

is there any sort of way to have the chat logs be public and searchable? the worst thing about discord being a walled garden is that all the info on it can only be accessed by a discord client.

What you describe doesnt really make sense so ill suggest what i think you really want;

You want your vps to be the wireguard server, the local PC connects as a client this “proxies” your connection so torrent swarms see the IP of your vps.

If you want port forwarding it gets a bit complicated because you need to forward the vps port over wireguard, but this is optional so you dont have to worry if you can’t figure it out.

Caddy doesn’t really seem relevant unless you want to have a domain name that forwards to your home network.

its really not tho. the creator took it off the market because they felt bad about how addictive it was, the only reason this new one exists is to exploit people.

some shady crypto group bought the rights to the name or something like that after the original creator had let their rights to it expire.

I dont ever recall giving portainer my real email.
