The fee has been gone for awhile now, they're required to give it to you for free with a domain.
I wish they would change the wording on it, to me playable means I click the button and it works, if it needs tweaks and stuff it's not playable.
I wanna use my PC not spend time tweaking things and fixing problems lol
What does 'playable' mean? Because on ProtonDB a lot of games will gave a gold/platinum rating, but don't work properly and have bugs or performance issues.
I figured the types who seed a lot also are likely to have a little low power server to handle it instead of the high idle draw of a gaming PC.
But if a gaming PC was intended to be on 24/7, then putting RGB and screens in it and putting it where one sleeps seems like a backwards move lol. Might as well save the pile of money from that and make it a silent build with no lights.
Just put it to sleep, I don't understand leaving the PC on 24/7
Yeah it sounds like the company is blocking domains they don't understand or something, and not bothering to care that you are an actual person who asked why it was blocked.
I bet they don't block gmail despite 90% of the spam I get coming from @gmail.com addresses.
If you're using addy.io domains then it's not on a domain you're paying for..
Also on IronFox and it's solid.
If you already use Brave on desktop then that works fine too and syncs your data. Not a huge fan of the crypto/AI stuff in the browser, but the security/privacy aspect of the browser is good.
If you don't want to deal with making your own script I highly recommend Backrest, it handles everything you listed for you using Restic.
60 requests per hour per IP could easily be hit from say, uBlock origin updating filter lists in a household with 5-10 devices.
That's the absolute maximum output, a typical laptop uses more like 2-6W while running.
Plus cycling the battery like that will wear it out faster, and they're generally only rated for 500 or so cycles. The replacement cost would likely easily over come any savings.
Instead of 30 addresses it's generally easier to just enable catch-all on your primary address. That way you're not manually creating each new address.
