Do you use the device you torrent on for personal things as well? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I'm just curious as I've permanently dedicated my laptop to torrenting. I've been too nervous to install anything but the VPN and Firefox on it. Now, I'm curious to mess around with Linux some more, which is what I use on it, but I can't fully test out what all I can do with it without signing into accounts.

Do you use your torrent machine to do other things besides torrenting, signing into personal accounts and stuff?

Yes let me post PII about my device setup I use for illegal activities to a PUBLIC FORUM

Who said anything about torrenting something illegal 👀

As far as I'm concerned, everything i discuss here is for educational purposes only and even if you share info about "your" setup, it's just hypothetical. Not your fault if someone you totally don't know has the same setup you described and uses it for illegal activities.

“PII” not exactly, more like user-identifiable
I don’t torrent, to be honest I pay for all my media, I just don’t watch very many things
