So they see you as a human. Not a gay human.

We exist without skin color, without nationality, without religious bias… and you call us criminals.

I use Tor to get magnet links and feed them to my clearnet torrenting client, no issues so far and the ISP would have to breach my privacy to provide my IP.

As long as they’re hired for their skills and not to tick a checkbox i don’t care.

Hosting for yourself so you can access your content outside your home is usually the use-case, use WireGuard for that though (checkout headscale) along with virtualization, VLANs, etc.
Hosting for a group of friends and/or family can usually be ok, assuming that is a well known and restrict group.

Hosting for the general public from home is usually not recommended, use a VPS for that. Bear in mind you’ll likely be liable for what you host, one way or the other, depending on your jurisdiction.
If you store content (files others may upload like movies and photos) you may be responsible for that (i.e. is that content legal in your jurisdiction?).
There may be a legal distinction between the server’s geographic location and the entity responsible for it - but in your case it’s the same, so, again, beware.
Just linking to content deemed illegal may get you into trouble.
Putting the site behind a login-only page and vetting account creation could mitigate (or exponentiate) this.
Anyway IANAL.

What do you want to host and for whom?

you no longer have a moral obligation to transition anything over to your coworkers.

My coworkers didn’t let me go, my boss did. If i knew a shit coworker of mine would inherit the project then sure, otherwise i don’t see the point of burning bridges.

Alternative is: Headscale.

Here’s a travel tip: don’t do dumb shit while you’re in a foreign country and don’t take advice from the internet.
Can you really not go without torrenting for 3 weeks?

Maybe headscale will do better?

Old ThinkPads

Dunno (yet); i’d assume they’d scan your wallet QR?

I haven’t explored that yet as here is none nearby. There aren’t many vendors of these machines.

I’d probably go with Mint XFCE or those listed, or you can search for distros that target older hardware. I’ll get back to yo on that.

Edit: so, @thatonecoder@lemmy.ca, my main search was focusing on minimal distros for old hardware (less that 1 GiB of RAM that support x86 (i.e. 32 bit)), these may fit the bill: Tiny Core, Puppy, Porteus, Absolute, antiX, Q4OS, Slax, Sparky, MX, Bohdi, Zorin Lite, Xubuntu, Archbang, Slitaz, DSL.
From here on we’re on “may need ≥ 1 GiB” territory: Lubuntu, Lite, MATE, Peppermint, LXLE, LMDE, bunsenlabs, Crunchbang++, EasyOS.

Again, my focus was on low RAM usage and preferably supporting x86. Most distros aren’t Wayland-ready yet, bare that in mind.
As most said, Mint with XFCE is a good start and most distros offer a “live” version you can boot to try without installing.

You may have an ATM near you.

You’ll be frowned upon. Severely.

Reminds me of the 56K handshake.

You obviously didn’t format it.

virt-manager supports, at least, kvm and lxc/incus, so you should be fine.
