Two reasons, basically. First, I am behind CGNAT. Second, electricity in my area is somewhat cumbersome, I need some services to be always online.

Fortunately, energy cost is not a big deal for me. My state (Punjab, India) provides 300 units per month for free. In the past year, I had to pay for only 6–7 months of electricity. I do host Nextcloud in a docker, but I keep most plugins disabled to save resources. One of my main resource hog is LanguageTool. It is using about 800 MB RAM and 8 GB storage.

Both!

Have you looked at all of these from the Awesome-Selfhosted list?

If you absolutely need Lightroom and no other alternate would work for your use case, I'm sure 1337x.to will have it. Otherwise, I would recommend Darktable as an alternate. It is free, open-source and just as powerful.

Handbrake can help. It is one of the best open-source transcoders. It is not exactly an ffmpeg front end, though.

The biggest reason for me was that Jellyfin is fully open source.

And if it's not a private network?

Try olamovies (proxy1, proxy2, proxy3). You will need to make an account with them, though. They even provide remuxes of bollywood films.

Copy the magnet to your phone's torrent client and see if it starts downloading. If not, then probably no one is seeding that torrent.

Are you able to download other torrents on the same PC/server?

Maybe grandma's still inside.

But hiding an onion address's IP is very hard. No?
