Having been in this same position I think I can help, you are almost definitely being cgnat which means that you do not have your own ipv4. The two workarounds I used for this are to use only ipv6 which is public but means you can’t always access it from older networks. And the second solution is to wireguard tunnel to a free oracle VM and use it as a proxy.

Ah I see, if you want to do AI then definitely stick with the 3070, I just assumed you’d be using it for video transcoding with something like Jellyfin.

Looks good to me, although I would maybe even sell the 3070 and go for something like an intel arc and more ram instead.

Welp, guess I should do my research next time. Thanks for the heads up.

Depends on the file system, I know for a fact that ZFS supports ssd caches (in the form of l2arc and slog) and I believe that lvm does something similar (although I’ve never used it).

As for the size, it really depends how big the downloads are if you’re not downloading the biggest 4k movies in existence then you should be fine with something reasonably small like a 250 or 500gb ssd (although I’d always recommend higher because of durability and speed)

Just out of curiosity, what do you use all that storage for?

And why would Israel listen to that?
