facilities that recycle plastic have been spewing massive amounts of toxins called microplastics into local waterways, soil, and air for decades

So you’re saying the problem is capitalism…

When I made the wrong command, the application registered hundreds of move jobs in its database. The developer said there is no way to cancel the jobs. If I restart peertube.service then it will notice the incomplete jobs and immediately resume them. I think I’m going to use btrfs next time so I can take a system snapshot before executing risky server commands.

connect your local system up to it with a vpn to traverse your nat

I need a little more detail on this. Here’s my takeaway:

1. Host an (e.g.) OpenVPN server on the webserver, after creating the proper certificate infrastructure.
2. Connect as client from home PC.
3. VPN Success. Now I can access each other on the local subnet that starts with a 10. or something.
4. Mount home PC’s NFS share on the webserver.

lol reminds me of the odd/even API.

That’s a neat idea, but when peertube goes to put the files back into remote storage it would fail to find them locally.

Unfortunately the storage on their largest VM is only 320 GB.

frontend accessible

What does that mean, not encrypted at rest?

Bandwidth in and out of my VPS is free. Object storage ingress and egress is what will cost me.

Having a normal one.

Can I make a BackBlaze bucket and mount that on the filesystem?

I might be able to do IPv6 but I would need to drop my VPN (IPv4 only).

I know very little about Wireguard.

Storage isn’t one of the things the sell on their business page but yeah, maybe their team can rig up something for a fee. It’s worth a shot.

To mount an sshfs share I think I need to shell into my PC from the webserver (not the other way around) and I can’t do that.

Renting a VPS in the Netherlands.

traceroute is hard to use on a lot of modern networks

Is that why most of the hops come back as * * *?

What reason would a VPN have to block websites? Usually it’s the websites blocking the VPNs.

I connect by OpenVPN instead of the app, so I don’t think I’m using that feature.

I just opened a ticket. We’ll see what they say.

Would it be unusual for a VPN provider to block access to subnets? That’s not how things work, right?

I type the domain name into the browser and it uses protonVPN’s nameservers to get the IP afaik.
