Hi again.

How about the following idea:

Set up ProtonVPN on the raspberry pi.

On all other devices (or at least those you want to use Jellyfin on), switch from using Proton to using Wireguard. Unlike your phone, the raspberry pi has no trouble running multiple VPNs. I think the ProtonVPN limitations in regard to not allowing split tunneling don't apply here, since all outgoing traffic will still go via Proton.

Essentially, the Pi would function as a proxy for all of your traffic, "and also" host Jellyfin. You would still connect to http://192.168.20.10:8096 (or whatever) on your devices, but that address would only resolve to anything when you are connected to the pi via Wireguard. No HTTPs, but "HTTP over Wireguard", if you will.

Nots that this requires you trusting the pi to the same degree that you trust your phone.

For your static devices (PC, TV) this should solve the problem. Devices which you take with you, like your phone, unfortunately will loose internet connectivity when you leave your home until you switch off Wireguard, and switch on Proton, and not be able to connect to Jellyfin when you return home, until you switch them back.

Essentially, you would have a "home" VPN and a "on the go" VPN, though you never need to connect to both. There might be ways to automate this based on WiFi SSID on Android, but I have not looked into it.

The Pros:

• this should meet all your requirements. No additional expenses, no domain, no dynDNS; no selfsigned certificate or custom CA; traffic is never unencrypted; works on all common devices.
• Wireguard is sufficiently lightweight to not bog down the pi, normally
• this is actually well within the intended use-cases for Wireguard, so no "black magic" required in configuring it
• if you ever do decide to get a domain, you can configure everything to always be connected to your pi via Wireguard, even on the go! Not required though.

The Cons:

• when you are new to selfhosting, Wireguard is a bit daunting to set up. It is not the easiest to debug (don't worry, it's easy to tell IF it is working, but not always WHY it isn't working). Some manual route handling is probably also required on the pi. It should definitely be doable though, but might turn this Jellyfin thing from a weekend project to a 2 week project...
• I have no experience with how well the pi runs Jellyfin. If the answer is "barely", then adding multiple concurrent Wireguard sessions might be a bad experience. Though in this case, you could only switch Proton to Wireguard whenever you want to watch Jellyfin.
• the manual switching might be annoying, but that is the price to pay here, so to speak

Edit: someone else already mentioned setting up your own trusted network with a second router. IMO that is the better, more hassle-free option IF you are willing to shell out the money. My suggestion is the "free" version of that, essentially 😄

Sorry, I should have gone more into the actual belief. For her it was less of an "if I make a decision that leads to my death in this universe, there surely is a parallel universe where I did not!", it was "if I die in this universe, thanks to an infinite multiverse, there must be one where I spontaneously start exisitng with all my exact memories from the previous life".

I have been scrolling on the front page for a couple of minutes now, and I was going to write that it's literally all conspiracy theories, but that's not true, there's also some "sponsored" posts AKA ads sprinkled in.

What a sad joke.

If you think the fediverse is too centralized, you can always host your own instance. You get all the same "free speech" benefits (plus no free-speech ban on drugs and porn), without having to put one foot into that cesspit of a site.

Edit: oh, and that has to be the worst moderation system ever devised - at least if you are a woman or any kind of minority. Good fucking luck in finding a random jury of users who will ever, ever ban a racist or sexist piece of shit on a platform like this. Come to think of it, that's probably the idea and justification behind the system: being able to loudly proclaim "we have a democratized ban system ensuring moderator overreach is impossible!" does make a great dogwhistle for "you can be a terrible human on here, don't worry"

“This scared the pants off every software developer in the world” no. No it hasn’t. That’s just not true.

Yeah, fair, I also did not really agree with that part. Essentially everyone i nmy vicinity "hyped" for this were non-technical people.

Why do you even say that.

(Just to be clear, it's not my video, I just thought it fit here)

NO, not "rule now"!! "Rule never"! Tss, looks like you still haven't learned your lesson, princess...

Ah, good news in regards to gaming, esp. Steam gaming!

Steam invested quite a bit of energy into "Proton", essentially a new kind of compatibility layer. If you remember tinkering around with wine and winetricks from years ago, that's basically gone nowadays.

For most games, just go into the Steam settings for that game, and under "Compatibility", check the box.

Then click download, and play. That's it for most games 🎉

Also check out protondb.com - it's basically a community-sourced database cataloging how well Steam games work on Linux.

Good luck on your Linux journey, and feel free to ask questions if something comes up! :)

Oh, uh, I got this: trans women are part of the gay agenda. You see, Alpha Males like him would obviously not go quietly into the women-less night, so the Gays have cooked up a devious plan to turn all men gay via trans women subbing in for RealTM women, so that once the time comes, men won't have a problem with getting rid of women! It's the perfect, devious plan! It explains everything, from why there's suddenly more trans women to only further proving his theory right!

Remember, it doesn't have to make sense in the real world, only in his own twisted mind.

I guess he's seeing the existence of trans women as proof of his theory.

"Trans women are trying to replace RealTM women" is a surprisingly common TERF talking point.

Additionally: word of mouth can turn into sales down the line, too, if the pirate liked the game and talks about it.

At worst, the developer isn't negatively impacted (by people pirating a game they couldn't afford / had no intention of buying), at best it leads to more sales.

I don't see the problem.

And I know that someone reading this will be foaming at their mouth, excited to say "But what if everyone did this? Then developers/studios/... wouldn't make any money and stop producing games/movies/...!", so I have to preemptively add the following:

• obviously this is not the case. Pirates have existed for decades.
• pirates pirate because the cost is either too high for them to afford, or higher than what they value the game/... at. If you consider yourself a "rational capitalist" (which, let's be real, is what most of the anti-piracy-crowd sees themselves at) then consider this as the market working as intended: demand simply isn't high enough at the price they're selling at
• and once more, just to make sure this comes across, pirating a digital product incurrs zero (0) loss on the side of the developer/studio. No, you can not count "virtual" losses from what they could have sold if the pirates ever had the intention of buying, or pirating didn't exist (because, y'know, it does).

Edit: btw I say this as someone who has never pirated a game except for Minecraft when I was, like, 10. I love playing (esp. Indie) games and am happy to pay for them. I just want people to leave folks alone who can't.
