This does not encrypt during transit, and my network is not a trusted party.

Then honestly, you have other problems than setting up Jellyfin.

For real though, if you think someone is (or might be) listening in on your local network, i.e. have physical access or compromised one of your machines, then the Jellyfin traffic is the least of your problems. Pick your battles. What's the worst that could happen here - someone gets to know your favorite show?

They do, because if ProtonVPN blocks LAN connections then the only other option is exposing the server to the WAN

Ah, I see. On your PC you should just be able to set a static route over the physical interface for 192.168.0.0/24 (or whatever your local network is) which takes precedence over the VPN. For android.... Oof, no idea. Probably need root.

Do you want all of that to be managed (DB, mailboxes, web-hosting,...) or just reliable hardware in "the cloud"?

For the latter, Hetzner.

At this point, package management is the main differentiating factor between distro (families). Personally, I'm vehemently opposed to erasing those differences.

The "just use flatpak!" crowd is kind of correct when we're talking solely about Linux newcomers, but if you are at all comfortable with light troubleshooting if/when something breaks, each package manager has something unique und useful to offer. Pacman and the AUR a a good example, but personally, you can wring nixpkgs Fron my cold dead hands.

And so you will never get people to agree on one "standard" way of packaging, because doing your own thing is kind of the spirit of open source software.

But even more importantly, this should not matter to developers. It's not really their job to package the software, for reasons including that it's just not reasonable to expect them to cater to all package managers. Let distro maintainers take care of that.

Elon Musk is a Nazi, AND the Chinese government murdered student protestors in the 1989 Tiananmen Square Massacre.

Ngl, being able to wear leggins is about 90% of the benefit of SRS for me.

It's been 5 or 6 years, 100% worth it.

Security by default is fine, but not if its being forced.

If I go out of my way to root my phone or sideload an app, I have a reason for that. I'm fine with an app going "Hey! This phone is rooted / this app is not from an official source! Wait 10s before you can click 'I understand and take full responsibikity in case of a security breach'".

I'm not OK with an app going "I will not work on this device because yiur environment is non-standard, period".

What use is Github / a Github clone to you without knowing git?

I've gone nearly insane trying to argue about this with family. How hard is it to see that investment in infrastructure pays dividends in the long run??
