I have a lot of bandwidth but don't want to spend money on hosting. Has anyone successfully hosted on rasberry pi ?

I used to run a relay at home until two things happened. 1) my bank blocked my home internet as it was a listed tor relay node even though it wasn’t an exit node. I just told my wife to use the app and disconnect from WiFi so that wasn’t a big issue. 2) getting called to security at my company as they had some abuse from tor nodes and saw I used a “tor node to vpn to work” and it was pretty brutal. Nothing came of it…

The probability of that minor inconvenience is very low and i am going to order Pi's. Today i saw the following news and i don't want this to happen to my country(or any other).

>This is quite a nice tool if you lack moral. You might request the suspect to appear as a witness and try to leverage the new requirements to make the suspect reveal damaging information. Germany doesn't have protections against self-incrimination? Or does this rely on the suspect being too cooperative for his own good?

Germany does have such protection. Parent was probably wildly speculating: https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auskunftsverweigerungsrecht

I think you meant to link to https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aussageverweigerungsrecht . Auskunftsverweigerungsrecht, according to the article, is a right of witnesses.

I was referring to this question by the grandparent which I read as being about a suspect's (not a witness's) rights:
