This may be a hot take but I think there should not be forever private ancestral lands.
The city/state should periodically get the land back and resell it to cover the ever changing maintenance costs (heck you are paying this with the increasing property tax)
The city/state should have a relatively predictable timeline of when they can reliably gain control of a land back so they can plan development around it (particularly infrastructure) and not deal with someone who know they can just squat on such land to sell for an inflated price.
Having an "expiration date" on the land is a surefire way to stop ever increasing property prices, getting a home with a shorter remaining lease period might be preferable for some who is not going to stay there permanently but long enough to want to own a home and having these options be a cheaper option is a very good thing. Such expiration date also means it is easier to modernize each property as needed, this will not be the death of historic buildings because the city/state still can make exceptions for them if needed.
Also how many of the US-ians are getting a house as their inheritance anyways? Oftentimes when a generation passes away post retirement, their house gets sold to some investment firm and becomes a rental.
typically you'd just take a seedbox that wouldn't do that (same criteria as when you are choosing a VPN, technically a shitty VPN can also leak out your info like this). Unless you are using like a mainstream commercial server like aws/azure as one.
Most seedbox providers use virtual machines to have a bunch of customer share a single IP, and any self respecting ones will not keep logs to associate any particular outgoing connection with a particular customer.
If they did they'd have the harddisk anyways so VPN wouldn't stop anything.
Unless you get the dedicated server options (which are significantly more expensive), you wouldn't get to run your own encryption solutions to hide your entire disk from your seedbox provider anyways.
Also depends on how much they let you tinker with your host, the seedbox can also be a VPN.
A seedbox is basically just a server which is just a computer, the provider mostly just help you set it up and provide a URL and authentication system for you to access it.
Just like all the World of Warcraft killers failing to kill it, turns out the only thing that can kill it is WOW itself, and Windows is doing that just fine this time.
it's more of a tool that can read all the books at once, but it also doesn't know how to judge its contents, so the user will still need to judge what it said themselves and not blindly trust it. (You can also find books about making the same bombs)
Same energy as getting lower covid numbers by not testing them.
