Do you use the device you torrent on for personal things as well? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I'm just curious as I've permanently dedicated my laptop to torrenting. I've been too nervous to install anything but the VPN and Firefox on it. Now, I'm curious to mess around with Linux some more, which is what I use on it, but I can't fully test out what all I can do with it without signing into accounts.

Do you use your torrent machine to do other things besides torrenting, signing into personal accounts and stuff?

I've got some vservers and some block storage at hosters in a different country and I terminate a VPN tunnel there from yet another country. Storage is LUKS encrypted and VMs are configured to halt hard automatically in case of certain triggers that hint towards hypervisor side fuckery.

It's not bullet proof, but it's fire and forget, basically seed boxes where I've split knowledge further.

I used this as an exercise in provider agnostic deployment and I'm mainly hosting archive.org torrents that can use some seeding there.
