~~The issue is that I can't really fit all of the data somewhere else. Can I shove it onto the 4TB drive and then mount it on a new proxmox install and recover from there?~~
The answer was a resounding no

It might not be, but I am intimately familiar with it. It's proxmox itself that's the wildcard here. I will shrink the LVM and then DD it to the new disk.
Couldn't I just shrink a partition myself? I could clone the LXCs to the 4TB drive and just shrink the LVM partition significantly. DD the disks, recreate the LVM on the new SSD and move em back, right?
Using a larger disk isn't an option, unfortunately. I don't have that kind of money.
There's only one store in my town that explicitly signs that I have to leave my backpack at the front desk but they haven't had the balls to tell me no, yet. I will just shop anywhere else the moment they as much as mention it to me.
If the torrenting is moved entirely within Tor, and pirates hosted Relays alongside their seedboxes, then we would have the bandwidth to sustain it and not be constrained by the exit relays.
Hosting videogames on a dedicated box for me and the boys when I was 16 got me more interested in networking and when I had finished my mostly unrelated education, I pivoted hard to IT. I don't currently work in IT and I don't know if I ever will again because my handicap and location make it hard to find jobs but essentially:
Self-hosting came first, then came the tech 'background'.
feralhosting.com gives you a full unix user in your own little jail if that's your thing. They are for seedboxes, but you can do anything you want with your 1 vcore and unmetered 10gbps.
I think last.fm is generally pretty good at recommending me stuff.
e does not improve your freedom and open source is not necessarily free.
Wube has encouraged people to pirate their game over buying key-resellers like G2A. G2A was such a legal pain in their ass for a period that they would rather you just pirate the game (being Factorio).
That still wouldn't get past your firewall
All of my services run on LXC containers. Some files and configs are backed up to NAS and offsite. The containers are snapshotted in their entirety before I do any work on them. A snapshot takes 5 seconds to make and causes no downtime. If I regret a change or mess it up, I can restore the snapshot in under a minute at the cost of some seconds of downtime.
My only non-container machines are my desktop (doesn't count), my NAS and the Hypervisor. The Hypervisor is very clean and wouldn't be much fuss to reinstall and the NAS is literally just Debian with NFS. All of these have a regular rsync which runs to backup the important files.
