Depends on which tracker. In general though invites and you get invites by association with relevant groups. Sometimes open registration occurs (though rarely) an other times the trakcer may do interviews.

It mostly comes down to time and patience.

If I'm supposed to be reading that top comment I don't see where you state what your results were. You apparently "had errrors" but neglected to note any down and now "you don't" have errors.

Replace existing online services you use with self hosted ones.

This it should be no issue for you to copy and paste that answer in our conversation.

And what exactly happens?

You tried what exactly earlier today?

I do exactly this as well.

Symlinks likely wouldn’t work for a torrent, because that’s more like a shortcut; The symlink doesn’t actually point to the file, it just points to another filepath.

They are kinda like a shortcut but they are resolved directly by the filesystem and in the fast majority of cases should work perfectly fine if done correctly. In OPs case I'd probably leave the original file intact and create the link at the new desired destination.

You can’t have a hardlink for your C: drive on your D: drive

Thats why I didn't recommend hardlinks. But I misread OPs post and I see the data will all live on the same drive so I revise my original suggestion and also recommend hardlinks.

But a torrent client likely won’t be able to handle the “oh actually you need to go visit location B” instructions, and will just crash/freeze/refuse to seed.

You're just pulling that out of your ass.

*all of this is largely under the context of linux but should translate to windows

Symlinks? Pretty sure that exists on windows.

Why not just run a reverse proxy container on the server hosting the rest?

Yeah most of the popular brands you see are way too sweet. I do love me a nice dry/crisp hard ciderr though. My all time favorite is Woodchuck's Granny Smith flavor.

I've also had a pear cider which was super light and crisp. I think it was Wyders on draft.

Care to cite your sources in that claim? I'm know they are far from anything that could be considered "good" but "worse than cigs" is news to me.

I have static IPs. That is going to be a required item for hosting email.

My main point is that it is seemingly impossible to tell what Microsoft has and has not shit listed because may operate their own internal list which isn't published.

I'm somewhat of the opinion though that more people should self host email and try to be a thorn in the side of these corps implementing arbitrary rules. If more people aren't receiving email more reports about I will be generated and that will hopefully result in more people like us getting our email successfully delivered.

Well I have some hardware colocated at a DC so I can't speaktoo much about cost plus IP reputation. I can also only rely on individual IP blacklist checking. If MS has decided on their own to blacklist an entire subnet there isn't much to be done about that.

Well my IP isn't on any blacklists but I can't speak on getting whitelistred" by providers. I can send to gmail without going to spam. Idon't generally send much email though.

Is self hosting a valid answer?

I host my own email.

So, why use Linux

Because I prefer it in functionally every way to Windows. I prefer (when feasible) to use open source and/or FLOSS software. I am vastly more familiar with Linux than I am Windows on a technical level. I generally dislike most things about Windows.

and use Steam

It works, it's convenient, they have a generally good track record of not screwing over users.

I prefer many of the features of Linux distros, but using a client like Steam defeats the purpose of them.

That is a pretty serious leap in logic. You're welcome to not like Steam on a technical, moral, and/or philosophical level but at the end of the day it is a single application and saying that using Linux while also using Steam "defeats the purpose of Linux" is ridiculous. Linux is an Operating System, it is meant to assist the user in computing. If the user is using Linux to compute they are fulfilling the exact purpose of Linux, that being an open and free operating system to be used by any who desire it.

Bring on to crash!

The only way this benefits a home owner is if they can live somewhere else for cheap or free. If you can't do that selling is pointless.

Once things come down then I could potentially afford a second home on my income. Additionally people less financially fortunate can afford the first house (or at least see their ridiculous rent prices drop).

It will be unfortunate for people who bought at an inflated rate so naturally those people won't be so crash happy but that's just the nature of it. If you are someone in such a situation then selling now and paying high rent elsewhere may be a wise decision. Not that prediciting a crash is a simple task.
