Why not just run the torrenting stack behind the VPN in a separate docker container? Then the rest of your media server is completely unaffected by the VPN and no need for any split tunneling.

due to some technical considerations I don’t like to run a VPN on my media server

What’s the reasons against using a VPN here?

I use hard linking to manage my library. It’s far from ideal, because the actual files are still stored in the jumbled shit show of files that is my downloads folder. But at least it let’s me browse an ordered library of file names.

Should you really be concerned about a system that can be physically ruined by malware? I would say definitely yes…

Of course there’s a financial reason, they’ve probably done a cost/benefit analysis and decided that it’s financially better to screw over those customers than to spend money fixing it. But that’s exactly the issue!

I think what most people disagree with, is that the active choice from AMD to not fix a very fixable issue, is a choice they know leaves customers is a seriously bad position. This is something they choose to do to their customers, because they could just as well choose to help them.

what I meant was that apparently only compromised systems are vulnerable to this defect.

That is not correct. Any system where this vulnerability is not patched out by AMD (which is all of gen 1, 2 and 3 CPUs) is left permanently vulnerable, regardless of whether or not they already are compromised. So if your PC is compromised in a few months for some reason, instead of being able to recover with a reinstall of your OS, your HW is now permanently compromised and would need to be thrown out…just because AMD didn’t want to patch this.

Ryzen 3000 series CPUs are still sold as new, I even bought one six months ago, they’re no where near being classified as “old”, they’re hardly 5 years old. And this is not only an issue for already infected systems because uninfected systems will intentionally be left vulnerable.

No they are just choosing not to roll out the fix to a known issue, which is screwing customers over on purpose (to increase profits). It’s not a matter of goodwill, they sold a product that then turned out to have a massive security flaw, and now they don’t want to fix even though they absolutely could.

They are 100% not patching old chips intentionally by not allocating resources to it. It’s a conscious choice made by the company, it is very much “on purpose”.

I bought a couple of 12tb “used” drives from servershop24.de, thay all had less than 150h of runtime.

Gee officer, we dun’ kno’ nothin’ 'bout no hacking stuff sir…

Maybe not, but you and I definitely dont, so let’s stick to what they’re actually saying instead of guessing.

That’s not a firewall though, which is what OP mentions.

That sounds weird and super invasive…where is this?

Stop using your ISPs router and they’re not going to have much control over it.

It’s not dependent of circuit, things just need to be on the same phase. Our house uses three phases total, so power line adapters only work for 1/3 of the house here.

So you’re saying there is a chance…
