Linux

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Cool project but doesn't really address OPs concerns.

For an anonymous, disposable seedbox? It seems like it does, though it's way overkill.

It's only partly anonymous as it's still a location they were directly tied to. Not really something you want to be risking if having the law come after you is part of your threat model.

Still a cool project and definitely overkill for internet piracy 😅

Abandonable Tor nodes can also be built this way. Not cost effective, though.
