If you make a community don't do it on lemmy.world, the admins at this instance have taken a hard stance against piracy related communities.

Bummer, the formfactor / specs look okay but it's kind of a dead end if I can't just install & use a vanilla Debian OS or similar.
With all the NAS OS options probably Synology has the best one but even there I don't actually want to get locked into that. I doubt this UGOS software can match Synology's let alone Debian.
If it's any consolation it looks like UGREEN is responding to comments about installing other OSes at their kickstarter page https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/urgreen/ugreen-nasync-next-level-storage-limitless-possibilities/comments
Yes - But keep both TCP and uTP enabled (should be the default setting unless you changed it).
Seems easier just to disable queuing altogether. Then if you're worried about bandwidth usage just configure your "global maximum number of connections" and your "global rate limits" to whatever you need them to be. Also keep uTP enabled (under Options / Connection) if you're concerned about the torrent client using up your bandwidth while using the internet.
It's not the answer you're looking for but it might be worth giving a try.
Keep in mind the instance itself hosts generative AI communities, it is even mentioned in the sidebar of https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/
as well as the instance's local communities list
https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/communities
Anyways this all seems like a non-issue IMO, most people don't even see the community homepage and would hardly ever see the banner pic. And db0 isn't talking about flooding /c/piracy with AI art posts, just updating the community banner... though this instance does have a local community !stable_diffusion_art@lemmy.dbzer0.com if you're interested in seeing AI art posts.
Fastmail is great but it's a totally different market /use case, you wouldn't go with them if you're privacy oriented. They're better than Google in that sense but you'd go with Proton if you're looking for privacy features.
Also keep in mind Fastmail is based in Australia and their government tends to be anti-privacy with the laws that get passed there.
Not sure about SIM cards but you can still use cash to buy prepaid phones along with an amount of minutes/text to activate. Like the kind of prepaid phones that you you see the vendors sell x minutes/text/data. e.g. I've never been asked for a credit card to buy a Tracfone. Some places like Best Buy will ask you for other information to sell it but none of it needs to be real (ironically Best Buy asks for a phone number to buy a prepaid phone, LOL). You do need to set up a Tracfone account online to actually activate a phone + plan, not sure about the other prepaid vendors.
Meanwhile no mention about their limited upload speeds.
Hadn't heard of that one. But there are a few other aggregators around you can check out e.g. cloudtorrents.com, idope.se, knaben.eu, snowfl.com, torrentdownload.info, torrentseeker.com
A lot of people run searches through qBittorrent search plugins so that's another alternative.
Or use something like Jackett or Prowlarr for multi site search.
I thought that site imploded?
It was rebooted by some of the old staff.

Now I am curious if my login still works…
It won't, all the old usernames/passwords were lost.
Demonoid allows uploads, they also happen to be open signup right now see the other community !opensignups@lemmy.ml
at TPB but that doesn’t seem to be a thing anymore.
See their forums, they have instructions on how to apply for an account there https://pirates-forum.org/Thread-New-TPB-accounts-available
There are a bunch of other public torrent indexers that you can try to apply for uploading but it doesn't always work out e.g. TorrentGalaxy, 1337x, GloTorrents, TorrentFunk, YourBitTorrent.
SolidTorrents / BitSearch does allow adding torrent hashes into their database without an account.
See the earlier posts, lots of discussion, I also have a list going in the last linked post that you are free to test and comment back on what worked for you :)

Kodi (https://kodi.tv) does the same thing & more. People think of it as a sort of streamer but its original/main purpose is to manage local media downloads including movie/tv series.
