You can send a formal letter requesting that all your data be deleted, stating that you can’t log in and do not agree with their ToS. Theoretically they have to do it. Good luck.
Time to get a Brentrace, I guess.
While I agree with you these practices do bring prices down for consumers. I just have the TV off internet and use an AppleTV.
GDPR would like to have a word here. Most likely not done in the EU though.

I tried both Usenet and Torrents. Of course Usenet is way easier but is not strictly better. Torrents get content way faster than Usenet (usually within a few hours of airing).
Then why don’t you try to educate people instead of scaring them back out of the seas? Genuine question.
It’s a easy as “don’t torrent without a VPN”.
BS. I’ve been torrenting in Germany for over 10 years and nothing happened. You just need to understand what you are doing. VPN and/or private trackers and you are safe.
What trackers?
There is a de-bloated version of Windows that does not have all the telemetry data, they call it ReviOS for whatever reason. If you install this, you are as private as it get in Windows.
If you want to learn about this before installing anything, check this video: https://youtu.be/nwkiU6GG-YU?si=J8FdNEUMly1p8pPy
Probably not what you are looking for but my wife uses a book and a private teacher that charges 30€ for 90 minutes so… look online?
Good VPN (I use PIA) > Docker > qBittorrent.
If you configure your VPN to be the only network available to your Docker Container, then leaks are technically impossible.
But if you just put qBt with a VPN and a proper configuration, it is almost as good.
You don’t know how it works then. I’ve been torrenting in Germany since I cared to do it and nothing ever happened.
Use that shit as a modem and get another device for your internals.
I’m not a big fan of putting all your eggs in one basket. If for whatever reason your Apple account gets compromised, you’re utterly fucked lol.
Use KeePass, sync the passwords with your preferred service (I use Dropbox), then use another method to transfer and save a key file to use together with your master password.
Don’t trust bitwarden unless you selfhost.
DynDNS? I’m not 100% sure what CF Tunnel does, but from my 2 min reading it seems that DynDNS would accomplish what OP described just as well.
