They used to have poor band support in north America, though that seems better now on the 5. I’m still salty about the removal of the headohone jack though.

That’s basically what I do right now except I do have a domain and my ISP doesn’t restrict inbound ports like 443 so it works fine.

Just trying to sort out if I want the headache of a VPS if I don’t need it (costs, maintenance, point of failure, etc).

What added security do you get by using a VPS besides obscuring your home IP? I can definitely see benifits to not leaking your home address, but otherwise the reverse proxy and wireguard tunnels don’t actually add any increased security for the extra steps. You could just host a reverse proxy at home, and any flaws Jellyfin could have in their app would still be exposed.

I’m not knocking your solution, I’m just in a similar place and considering if I want to go through the extra hurdle for a VPS if I don’t need one.

Bring a pair of foam earplug as well. They weigh and cost nothing, and could be useful of they try to use sonic deterents against you.

This would likely be done through cell phone tracking devices like a stingray, not plates. I don’t know how many people are in their cars at a protest.

I’m not the OP, or an American, but yes I think a lot of the world is looking at them and feeling that they’re getting their comeuppance.

The problem is that America is truly too big to fail. Not that they can’t fail, but they will drag the world down with them if they do. Global trade and global security is anchored to them, so while I want to see them slapped back to reality, I don’t think we can afford for them to devolve into civil war.

I don’t want to downplay sexual misconduct, but the issues we are facing right now are orders of magnitude higher.

You will never find a perfect point it time where life is good for and harmonious everyone. The 90s had their problems, for sure, but the USA wasn’t tearing itself apart, or bringing in and welcoming in a new wave of fascism.
