I’m suggesting something orthogonal: I’m suggesting specifically rTorrent hosting.
Apparently rTorrent provides the maximum GB served per unit of CPU used, & since seedbox hosting is on such pathetic virtual-machines, this can matter.

Please, I beg you, invest in https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/ayurvedic-healing-a-comprehensive-guide
& do the experiment of making yourself pairs of dishes with 1/2 of each pair being the most-pacifying-for-your-metabolism ingredients & the other being the most-aggravating-for-your-metabolism.
The experience was shocking as hell for me, when I did it.
It may identify the “system” underlying what ingredients you need to understand, in order to liberate your healing into your life.

It absolutely can work, so long as it isn’t allowed to run the show: harnessed, constrained, controlled capitalism, with no concentration-of-wealth-archy machiavellianism, can work.
But to do that, then you have to make the pay-ladder be proportionate to difficulty-to-replace, & not a means of “legal” embezzling, you have to make accounting unbreakable ( blockchain, ALL entries getting into an Algorand-type blockchain that all businesses in the economy & the gov’t all have servers participating in ), you have to make Human Capital Investment ( NOT consumable-human-resources: wrong model/paradigm! ) work properly, etc, etc, etc.
A Japanese keiretsu is an example of a semi-autonomous-economy which proves that capitalism can work ( capitalism works within the keiretsu ), & Toyota is a vertical-keiretsu ( profit-efficient ) & Panasonic, Sony, etc, are horizontal-keiretsu ( marketsaturation efficient ).
Another problem is that market-speculators, like those “candlesticks market-timing” people, enforce market-volatility, as a means of harvesting money from others, & that is an antipattern.
Worker-owned-business is the bedrock of it, too…
which unions & political-ideologues hate…
Put ownership, accountability, responsibility, & authority, all unitary!
Anyways, there are ways of making it work, but I think it’s just too … “Japanese” ( in terms of how thorough the management-paradigm has to be, to even understand the system ) … for any Western-mind to think of it properly.
No matter: soon a not-for-profit will begin demonstrating how this all works, later this year, I think…

When I was young, used to believe that social-pressure could make everybody behave/conform.
Understanding the existence & approximate-nature of psychopathy, now, & KNOW that that’s suicidal naive-delusion.
Hard-walls are required for many, & permanent-segregation is REQUIRED for some individuals.
I wish serial-rapists & serial-molesters were segregated as systematically as serial-killers ( where the lives killed were “in their way” ) & serial-murderers ( where the murder is the point ).
Their prey deserve to NOT be their prey, & social-making-believing/pressure isn’t good-enough.
NO amount of social-pressure’s going to make people conform, if they just aren’t wired that way.
( the left consistently assumes that social-pressure cannot be disobeyed, & that is about to cost the US everything, as total-dictatorship’s going to be activated shortly.
It’s currently at the point where the Democrats are utterly-powerless to impeach Trump, because the hour they table the beginning of that process, Trump invokes the Insurrection Act, & then it’s done, & probably, the Dem electorate are executed. )

I’m seconding SwingTheLamp@piefed.zip 's comment, but would begin with 1 step below that:
simply find the best location in the house for having a good ( not your ISP’s, unless it actually is a good MIMO router ) wifi-router, with no AP’s or any other radios, & see how that works, 1st.
IF there are areas that won’t work, THEN do the wire+AP thing, as required.

Authenticity is AI’s “kryptonite”.
AI is THE best brainstorming-help ever invented on Earth, period.
But the majority of users are instead using it to substitute for authenticity, so they can … I gather there was a movie about that? “fast forward” through their lives ( or was it that “Stainless Mind” movie? … don’t care, personally: don’t do movies! )
So, there’s a kind of division/segregating going-on, where the ones who prefer inauthenticity & convenience are polarizing ( like your friend ) to AI, whereas others are working at limiting it, & harnessing it, using it for us, instead of using it in place of us, if you see.
Does anybody believe that AI would have produced that magical image of the olympic skating woman jumping so totally happily, on the podium?
Authenticity isn’t as fakeable as appearances are, see?

“Why is the USA attacking Iran?”
Trump’s insecurity:
By associating with “biblical” Netanyahu’s “Israel”, he gains “validity”.
By bombing someone, he gains “authority”.
By pretending that his-regime’s actions benefit the protestors in Iran, he gains “humanitarian credibility”, while warring against the people living in the US’s own Democrat states.
By doing all this NOW, he deflects from his being an Epstein-associate who’s on evidence for crimes against women, & girls.
See the PATTERN, not just some single-aspect of it, & then it makes more sense.

( I consistently supplement with choline, when vegan, because the choline-deficiency is bluntly a kind of chronic-fatigue-syndrome, & I’m fed-up with health-problems. Eating eggs corrects the choline-deficiency, but blocks me from reaching better-quality meditations, which also is aweful/wrong )
the dosages recommended by the pushers of products are consistently waaay too high, whether laundry-detergents or health-supplements. I use less than 1/2 of the scoop-size, when supplementing with the stuff, because I can feel how wrong it makes my biochemistry when taking the amount they want me taking.
always trust your body’s healthsense over what the label pushes you to do, & remember that your-biochemistry may well be incompatible with some “fixes” that pushers are profiting from.
Sorry to be cynical, but that’s what evidence has convinced me of.
Whether creatine damages kidneys would be dependent on dosage, obviously.
Apparently the doctor claiming it damages kidneys doesn’t consider dosage important?
That’s as bogus as the supplement-industry’s pretense that the same dosage is right for all different sizes of people, of all metabolisms, of all sexes/genders/hormonal-balances: pseudoscience, absolute.
Proper dosages are when you calibrate to units-per-kg-of-<type-of-animal>.
So, for me, it might be that taking ( 75 / 10 / 4 )g/day of creatine per 75kg of bodyweight, might be right.
Or something like that.
I know from Gershon’s book “The Second Brain”, that glutamine-supplements FRY the nervous-system of the gut, as nicotene does…
& that’ll never get well-known in the supplement-industry, because of how it’d gimp easy-profits…
Some things are just too outside natural-chemistry to do any good ( like chemically-pure glutamine ), & sometimes it’s the insane dosages, compared with normal food, that’s the problem…
but it isn’t logical to claim that there is no safe dosage for creatine, since dosages can go down to infinitesimal: that isn’t logical.
There has to be a safe level for it, unless it’s intrinsically harmful, in its pure form.
I’m certain that the pushed dosages will harm kidneys, though.
So, seen in that light, yeah: if taking what the pushers want you taking, then yes, that’ll probably damage your kidneys.
There’s a limit to what they can deal-with…
I knew a guy who’d worked in a hospital, & he told me he 1 time had to watch a patient destroy their own life by overdosing with vitamin-C: they crushed their kidneys from the inside, with stones.
They wouldn’t listen, & that was that: they kept overdosing until they died.
Didn’t get deemed valid by the megadose-vitamin-C crowd, obviously…
but how could any organ in our body possibly deal with insane quantities of some single-chemical that they aren’t evolved-for, you know?
I just looked at PubMed:
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/?term=creatine+kidney
& glanced into the 2nd item I saw, & it stated plainly that unless someone has a kidney condition, it’s safe, as far as evidence-based-medicine is concerned.

Relentlessnes: I may not have the IQ-eyness I had before my 3rd wave of braindamage, but by being relentless, I keep improving, however sluggishly, while the entitlement-coasting people don’t.
Excellence-of-studies: don’t waste time studying mediochre means: study the best-of-the-best, from Simon Sinek, to Kegan & Lahey, to the best books in whatever your domain is.
It’s 99% perspiration, & only 1% inspiration, except for a very few.
( there are 2 categories of “genius”:
Relentlessly earning greater competence improves your standing against the quicker ones, through the years,
but it does nothing in relation to the “wizards” who just are using some dimension that you don’t have, to get where they do.
In Gleick’s book “Genius” about Richard Feynman, there was a situation where a normal physicist worked for 1/2y, aka 365/2 days, roughly, to earn a theory … & he presented it.
Feynman wasn’t at that lecture … & only heard about it, but that night, he blasted through the calculus until he got it, then … the next morning, he hunted-down & accosted the physicist who’d given that lecture, & presented him with his rendition of the work, saying “is that what you got?” … horrified, the guy discovered that Feynman had taken the theory farther in 1/2-day than he had in 365/2 days … you can’t compete with wizards.
Mlodinow also encountered this, as is in his book about being mentored by Feynman: he & his work-partner earned, in months of work, some … quantum-optics meaning, iirc.
He got Feynman to consider it, for 1/2h.
In that 1/2h, Feynman got enough understanding that he told them: “publish. you’re not making any mistakes, & the established contradicting-your-work theory therefore is likely wrong”…
How he got THAT far, in that-little time, … normals can’t compete against that.
So, simply don’t bother!!
Compete against the normal ones!
Leave the “supernatural” skill stuff to the people who’ve got the synaesthesia, or whatever, to do it, to them.
They’re rare, & not the ones who do most of the work, in any domain, right?
All the people working on important stuff, who are grinding-through obstacles, that’s important!
The best framing I ever encountered was this:
Airbus’s working on a new powerplant-system.
2,000 engineers assigned to that work!!
Can you imagine anything being so hellishly-complicated that it takes THAT much engineering-force to get it to reliably, & certifiably, work??
THEY’RE ALL CONTRIBUTING!!
See?
The woman who solves how to make the turbulences in the 1st-layer of turbine-blades NOT erode the 1st-layer of stator-vanes, if that’s all she accomplishes, it was important!
I once spoke with a woman who managed engineers who built an instrument that ended-up on a Viking lander, on Mars, last-century…
The engineers were prone to heading out to the bar, after tough days, to relax, with the work-gang…
… & then they’d get talking about the problem, again, & when they’d found a new angle to be working on it, again, then they’d head back to work, instead of going home to their families!
There, too, is another “competitive-advantage”, but one with high human-cost: being autistic.
You don’t need to be either a “wizard” or autistic, to compete: you only need to make your-part of the work important enough for it to make good-enough difference, see? )
Don’t bother being what you aren’t, & recognize that sociopathy has gained ownership of much of the workplace, so “it ISN’T you” that is the problem, in many cases.
Trust that good work counts, trust that airliners exist, & trust that THE advantage that the Wright Brothers had, was simply in being systematic, methodically eradicating bugs, until they got the photographs of controlled-turning that they needed to prove their system worked.
In STEM, be systematic.
Be methodical.
Eradicate bugs.
https://www.amazon.com/Debugging-Indispensable-Software-Hardware-Problems-ebook/dp/B00PDDKQV2/ is a book which can give you the principles of being more effective in getting results in STEM.

it should be labeled as sooo high in potassium that it kills dogs.
The people saying that coconut-milk is different from coconut-cream is different from coconut-water are right, btw.
https://nativepet.com/blogs/health/can-dogs-drink-coconut-water
Potassium-overdose is the standard method for inducing heart-stop, ie in executions in China, & in other cases where medical-heart-stop is required.
Dogs’re small, & so the potassium-concentration in coconut-water is more proportional to their entire-bodymass than it would be for the same size drink compared with a human drinking it.
their metabolism’s hotter, too,
& there’s an entire chemical-family ( which is represented in chocolate, alcoholic-drinks, etc ) which is lethal to many animals but not to us ( dogs, parrots, can’t remember if cats, etc. )

You may be allergic to the stuff, XOR you may be in kapha-metabolism, which is incompatible with it.
A little salt on a slice of avocado, can send a vata-metabolism person into heaven.
The book on the fundamental-metabolisms, & there mixed-together versions, is:
https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/ayurvedic-healing-a-comprehensive-guide
IF that book ( & Frawley & Kozak’s “Yoga For YOUR TYPE” ) identifies you as pure-kapha, you’re supposed to not-like-it, because it’s harmful for pure-kapha metabolism’s health.
_ /\ _
PS: for all the Scientism-fundamentalists, DO THE EXPERIMENT of discovering YOUR metabolism/dosha, & then preparing pairs of dishes, such that each pair has 1 dish with only-aggravating-of-your-metabolism & 1 dish with only-pacifying-of-your-metabolism, & LET THE EVIDENCE ITSELF SPEAK.
For people of pure-metabolisms/doshas, that should be sufficient evidence.
For people of mixed-metabolisms, it may not be possible to get a clear difference, & for all-3-mixed-together, there isn’t any possible way to convince them of any such thing.
This is 1 of many peer-reviewed actual-evidence-based-science articles that backs Ayurveda: https://www.nature.com/articles/nindia.2015.148
There are around 9 THOUSAND articles listed in PubMed also backing the evidence-based position: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/?term=ayurveda
Ideological “medicine” that “identifies as” evidence-based medicine can go eat rocks.
