Speaking of multiple cards...

This is possible with sr-iov (Single Root I/O Virtualization) but it basically only exists on enterprise hardware and you can "hack" it for 20xx series and earlier so it could be a valid option if the performance of only using a 2080 is okay

Not a torrent but maybe something like Kotatsu (https://f-droid.org/packages/org.koitharu.kotatsu) can help you find it

Couldn't you just treat the socketed ram like another layer of memory effectively meaning that L1-3 are on the CPU "L4" would be soldered RAM and then L5 would be extra socketed RAM? Alternatively couldn't you just treat it like really fast swap?

As someone in a similar situation I'd recommend using a free tier oracle vps with a wireguard tunnel to connect to you services. Effectively just using the vps as a proxy for your own network. Here's a guide that should work for your purposes https://github.com/mochman/Bypass_CGNAT

It looks like its just a different DNS server that allows them to resolve their own special TLDs

If power consumption is an issue then I'd recommend the arc a310 which can only draw up to 30 watts. I've been using one for a while and it can easily handle several 4k streams without issue.

+1 for enhancer for youtube, great QOL stuff in there

Having been in this same position I think I can help, you are almost definitely being cgnat which means that you do not have your own ipv4. The two workarounds I used for this are to use only ipv6 which is public but means you can't always access it from older networks. And the second solution is to wireguard tunnel to a free oracle VM and use it as a proxy.

Ah I see, if you want to do AI then definitely stick with the 3070, I just assumed you'd be using it for video transcoding with something like Jellyfin.

Looks good to me, although I would maybe even sell the 3070 and go for something like an intel arc and more ram instead.

Welp, guess I should do my research next time. Thanks for the heads up.

Depends on the file system, I know for a fact that ZFS supports ssd caches (in the form of l2arc and slog) and I believe that lvm does something similar (although I've never used it).

As for the size, it really depends how big the downloads are if you're not downloading the biggest 4k movies in existence then you should be fine with something reasonably small like a 250 or 500gb ssd (although I'd always recommend higher because of durability and speed)
