    There’s so much to host that isn’t related to pirated media sharing though. I host like 5 services and only one could be related to that. I know you clarified that you’re talking about content, but there’s also so much content that isn’t related to pirating either. Like most of the fediverse for example







  • I still don’t think this is correct for two reasons. 1: I believe the DMCA and friends count as copyright law. 2: just reading the text of the law (#17 U.S. Code § 106):

    Subject to sections 107 through 122, the owner of copyright under this title has the exclusive rights to do and to authorize any of the following:

    (1) to reproduce the copyrighted work in copies or phonorecords;

    (2) to prepare derivative works based upon the copyrighted work;

    (3) to distribute copies or phonorecords of the copyrighted work to the public by sale or other transfer of ownership, or by rental, lease, or lending;

    (4) in the case of literary, musical, dramatic, and choreographic works, pantomimes, and motion pictures and other audiovisual works, to perform the copyrighted work publicly;

    (5) in the case of literary, musical, dramatic, and choreographic works, pantomimes, and pictorial, graphic, or sculptural works, including the individual images of a motion picture or other audiovisual work, to display the copyrighted work publicly; and

    (6) in the case of sound recordings, to perform the copyrighted work publicly by means of a digital audio transmission

    It seems pretty clear that only the copyright owner has the rights to make copies, subject to a number of exemption.

    Now IANAL so I could be missing something pretty huge, but my understanding was that this right to make copies (especially physical ones for physical media) is at the core of copyright law. Not just the distribution of those copies (which is captured by right 3)









  • By default, an enencrypted boot drive is not sufficient to be able to decrypt a LUKs drive. If you have to type in your password to start the computer/unlock LUKs then you should be good.

    If you’ve setup a keyfile or TPM based decryption of LUKS, then your data is probably not safe (though a TPM based decryption could be if the OS is secure and secure boot is setup properly)

    In this case, if you have another server then you could setup a mutual tang/clevis system where each device gets the keys it needs from the other server on the LAN. Both would be LUKs encrypted. So if one is online the other gets the required key from the online one while booting. But if both are offline then no keys are available and you have to type in a LUKS password to boot. Something like https://www.ogselfhosting.com/index.php/2023/12/25/tang-clevis-for-a-luks-encrypted-debian-server/ but what they do with multiple servers is probably overkill



  • I think if you switch back to the original target that depends on those services they should start again?

    Like systemctl isolate yourtarget.target and then a systemctl isolate graphical.target to return to normal operation

    Isolate will stop any services that aren’t required by the dependency chain.

    Some of these might be user services though, in which case you’d need to create a user target

    It’s possible that you don’t need to use isolate though, and can just start a target that conflicts and then instead of stopping it, start graphical.target
