And here are my qBittorrent stats. I left my computer running for 6 days, I never thought I’d get this far! But that electricity bill’s gonna sting…
It’s good to give back to the community.
EDIT: To any three-letter agencies who might be reading this post, I was uploading Linux ISOs and scientific research papers. I would never dream of uploading copyrighted material…

I’m Detective John Madden with the NFL, you’re under investigation.

A Raspberry Pi with an USB drive should use no more than 20W of power, if you want to further your endeavors.
Even the newest Pis use around 2W on idle (which seeding torrents basically is). I’d say the whole setup would be under 10W, or under 5W if the disk is 2.5".
First of all, thank you very much for your service.
Secondly, you’re crazy lmao
scientific research papers
When JSTOR comes knocking you are going to wish it was the MPAA instead
Good on you seeding useful stuff. Last time I had to get my ratio up on a private tracker I had to seed download 50GB and seed close to 1TB of granny porn.
I liked everyone’s faces, when they asked where I got such a good ratio, that is was all granny porn lol.
Thank you for your service.
FYI, scientific research papers are more often than not copyrighted.
Thankfully sci-hub.se exists.
I always excitedly go to Scihub or LibGen only to find that they never have the paper I am wanting. Smh

It doesn’t say anywhere that he’s seeding pirated media. Seeding is not illegal.
I feel like you shouldn’t be advertising online that you’re uploading large quantities of pirated media? Just kinda seems like common sense? Some of you guys are very trusting lol.
Hey, I clearly stated that I was uploading Linux ISOs and research papers! I never said anything about pirated media!
spoiler
In all seriousness though, in hindsight I probably should have used an alt account to post this. If my home instance becomes compromised, I could end up in hot water…
Do you really think someone out there is going to see a random post where a guy says he has uploaded a bunch of… something and decide to try to investigate to find out what?
That’s not how it works. Even if he had included actual torrent names in the screenshot, the chances of someone caring enough to pursue it are infinitesimal.

Subpoenaed for what, IP addresses? Then assuming he’s using private trackers (hopefully he is) or a seedbox then they don’t find him in any public swarms and that’s the end of that lol

im at 30TB uploaded
but i swapped setups last year and idk what it was at before. so 30tb 1 yearOK but wait shouldn’t that emoji be named ‘sickle and vibe’ instead of ‘hammer and vibe’?

I’d never imagine doing that in Egypt lol. We don’t have unlimited fiber/adsl. the datacap we pay for is 250gb for about $5
Impressive. I distrohoped and lost everything
on the other end of the spectrum: I can’t even do port forwarding to seed shit

Currently my server is at 1.5 TiB uploaded since last restart. Always on lol. I wonder how badly it impacts my energy bill. I just have a 1gig unlimited data connection. Figure I oughta use it haha . And yes obvious iso and open src software and the like.
My desktop Jellyfin/aarr stack and nextcloud server runs about 1.2kwh/day. So not bad but not free
The craft computing guy on YouTube said in a video that he runs at 7-8khw/day at idle. :O
Ya prob similar. Someday I wanna measure but I’d have to get some tool for that. How do you measure?
Just a no name knockoff killawatt meter, I think it was $10-15
My cable modem consumes about 10-20w (I’ve done monitoring). This while a single file server is continually backing up to Crashplan (about 700GB this month so far). So I don’t even see my cable modem in my power bill.
My file server is much worse - on average it’s consuming about 100w (or 2400wh/day). I’ve done the math several times, that’s about $1/day. It’s the box that’s syncing with all my devices, and then backing up to Crashplan.
