And if you want to make it fancy, make that a wrapper script that checks the incoming file type. MP3s get transcoded, text files get opened, …

What’s in the logs?

If it’s on the Internet, yes.

Given the state of the Internet, you should keep a healthy level of paranoia. I always recommend exposing as little as possible, and that means using only a VPN and not putting jellyfin itself on the Internet.

Technically yes, but as long as your WAN gateway doesn’t provide a route, clients will only know how to reach your own gateway.

Agreed. Separate device. If your VM or hypervisor dies, or you misconfigure something, you take your Internet down. Not a fun thing to recover from.

You only need one port. WAN to switch, switch to router. The router routes and sends it back to the switch, and the switch to the LAN. Vice versa for outbound traffic. It’s called a router on a stick.

Not recommended if you’re paranoid about security, because a malicious client or particularly malformed inbound traffic could bypass your router. For general use it’s perfectly fine.

I’ve heard there is a long-standing issue with 3rd-party launchers, but I’ve been using Lawnchair (legacy) on a pixel 4, 6, and 8 and never experienced issues like that.

Maybe a few in Switzerland. I haven’t seen any news about it specifically.

You don’t have to. You can use cash, checks, crypto, gift cards, and more. It’s only credit cards (and probably almost all debit cards) that go through them.

Keep calling. Tell your friends. It’s already gotten MasterCard’s attention enough to make a statement.

True, but I’m not sure that an extension would have the necessary access to manipulate the browser like that. I don’t think it should. A malicious extension could do horrible things.

How does adding AI help their funding?

Same. But that shouldn’t be a factor in a professional publication.

For most people, that’s an acceptable trade, because they don’t want to maintain a library. And with Spotify, you get access to a much larger library than you could ever possibly keep.

Yeah, most of those you get out of the box. Even on Windows.

Pretty much any router will handle that.

If you want do open source, you can do something like opnwrt on hardware they support. Or, build the whole thing yourself with opnsense on any device that can run FreeBSD.

The point of a stable distro is reproducibility.

OP is misusing archaic letters. That is a correction.

Nope. It should be reviewed by a human, and the response should be proportionate.

Why maddening? The active shooter response shouldn’t be all that different.
