Hello fellow travelors in the high seas

What is your EDC (Every Day Carry) for pirating? You can be as specific or as general as you want.
For me, a newb, it is my GP6a.mostly have YMusic (download music/vids) and Tachiyomi(download manga/comics).
What is your EDC for pirating and teach us your ways!
Thank you for coming to my TED Talk...
I'm using the full *arr suite, a vpn container, transmission, Jellyfin, Audiobookshelf, Kavita, pihole, nginx, and a few others.
The only problem I'm having is memory. There are times when pihole, Jellyfin and BitTorrent are all fighting for resources, and the network stalls. I picked up the formerly mid-range with 4/32GB of RAM/Storage, and i should have picked up the 8/whatever GB. They have a new one called the Zimablade, it uses a desktop RAM stock, and I've got a few of those knocking around. It's cheaper than the Zimaboard, so I might pick that one up as a supplement, and split the load so that my pihole/nginx/vpn don't all go down because Jellyfin just had to transcode something.
If you're just doing the arr suite and Jellyfin (I haven't used Plex since they started the mandatory sign-in bullshit), the 4GM RAM version is adequate. If you're trying to run 20+ containers (raises hand) you'll find you have to stop the containers you're not currently using.
Thanks for your detailed answer! RAM use is what I was wondering about mostly, I will probably go for the 8 GB version to be on the save side. Zimablade looks very interesting, but I couldn't find anything about when it will be actually available. One last question: do you use stock casaos or some other OS?
Another thing I've done is you can find used thin-client types of machine on eBay for like $25. I got one when I was looking for something to run Home Assistant on, throw in a $20 SSD, and off to the races. That's with 8gb of ram. The only thing I'd be careful about here is if you have a lot of plex transcode from host/client.
