The "down" was definitely edited after the fact.

Thanks! Not quite as wild as I was expecting (kind of surprised this was enough to push them to delete their account)

Do you have any sources for this?

They are for sure talking about the ARM servers from Oracle. You get 24gb of memory and 4 cpu cores that you can carve into virtual machines.

Issue is that the free stock is very limited, and there have been some claims of people having their free service resources reclaimed by Oracle.

Still, if you can get one, it is probably the best you can get for free.

As the other user said, they removed support for port forwarding. They are my #1 pick for anyone where that is not a concern.

I have no experience with Windscribe other than that I recall looking into them when I was personally looking to replace Mullvad.

All I can offer is that their pricing is pretty much on par with ProtonVPN, who I have found to be very solid.

Proton also has a free tier, though I'm not sure how well P2P works on it.

Uh... What?

GPU you are converting from 265 to 264 and expecting smaller file sizes, but CPU you are going from 264 to 265?

If compression methods/codecs are equal, the hardware shouldn't affect compression

You can seed without port forwarding

difficult and/or illegal.

I don't think using a VPN gets you out of the illegal part, lol.

That was a rephrasing of the statement, not an answer to the question. He's asking why it matters. What is the "good measure"?

What makes Debian a pain to use on servers?
