VPN or Not?

I only use a vpn on public trackers, on private trackers I don't use a vpn.

But generally if you don't live in a third world country you should almost always use a vpn. I live in Germany and luckily my ISP doesn't care about torrenting.

Email self-hosting

My experience with hosting mail was very good. I host my mail using Mailu, which is just a docker compose file and premade scripts for the usual mail stack software (Postfix, Dovecot, Nginx etc.). I hosy it on my home network using a raspberry pi. I score 9.8 on mail tester and my mail rarely ever lands in spam.

In total I spent maybe 3 hours setting everything up including my domain and 2 hours debugging issues. I honestly recommend self hosting mail.

Antivirus recomendations

Reply in thread

Nowadays it is almost impossible to get a virus just from visiting websites. As for security recommendations I would recommend never running applications as roo that 100% don't need it, as for 3rd party repos I would always be a by mindful of the apps but generally there isn't too much of a risk, of getting a virus.

It runs on tablets and there are specific distros made for tablets with improved support and features. There are also linux-only tablets being sold.

And I don't see what problems you're trading for, ad I at least never really had any Problem on Linux that I couldn't fix in some way.
