These will be required in all cars sold in the US as soon as next year and close to zero people are talking about.

The problem with that is you still have to buy the rest of the computer to put that 3090 in.

My MacBook Air with 24GB of unified RAM is enough to run something simple and useful.

It’s good for the same things machine learning has always been good for. Language synthesis and analysis. Selfhosting something like Paperless for document management. It actually has a very rudimentary learning engine for document classification for a long time but feeding document content to a local AI model for organization tagging is very useful.

They don’t expire. Thats why they’re called forever stamps

Quick connect is not SSO. Because the topic is about non-technical end user friendly solutions, this isn’t a great one because this requires your user to login using a web browser on a different device and then use that for the quick connect and it’s just more clunky than it should really be.

It’s honestly easier in this situation to just configure your end users device with a mesh VPN like Tailscale or Netbird and then all they ever have to do is login with whatever password you gave them.

1. No, changing your exit IP is not the whole trick. The whole trick is keeping your web traffic private from a snooping network operator, ISP, and the state, all of which a VPN is very good at, and is completely unaffected by anything else chatGPT just listed in your reply. None of those things are relevant to this conversation at all. You need to understand what a threat model is, and which one a VPN applies to.

2. The fact that you had to resort to asking ChatGPT to reply to me is an admission that you have no idea what you’re talking about and never did. If you can’t even speak for yourself then we’re done here.

The plugin was neat, but if the clients don’t support it, it’s pretty much useless.

Jellyfin just doesn’t have it, period. There’s a third party plugin that will kind of tack it on to the Webui, but none of the Jellyfin apps will work with it.

I like how if it’s IPv6 it just gives up

The biggest problem with that Jellyfin to this day is that you can’t.

Seems like every new open source selfhosted app implements OIDC compatibility, but for some reason, I can only assume is technical debt, Jellyfin hasn’t.

ITT: a lot of ignorant laymen who don’t understand the first thing about how the internet works.

Yes necessarily. What a VPN does to protect your traffic flows from your ISP or network operator is not affected by browser fingerprinting. On the contrary, this is something VPNs explicitly help with. Since web traffic is almost always encrypted, the types of limited traffic analysis they can normally do, they wouldn’t be able to do if all your traffic is going through a VPN. (Snooping on your DNS queries, looking at your TLS SNI, analyzing packet sizes and such)

Additionally, not all traffic you’re trying to protect with a VPN even uses a web browser.

If you’re using a VPN to protect the destination of your traffic from the prying eyes of your ISP or the state, then the VPN would absolutely be protecting it, and therefore when disconnected you are by definition unprotected.

It sure is. You get privacy from your ISP, or the network operator of what you’re connected to. Thats why people famously use them for things like piracy. If VPNs weren’t private, privacy wouldn’t exist.

This is why I’ve used Emby for the longest time.

Major countries, sure. But there are plenty of countries out there that thrive on weird little niche industries that would love to make some dough being VPN exit points.

The nation of Tuvalu gets 15% of its GDP from .tv domain registration fees.

When I started getting into this the common answer was Reolink. I’m pretty happy with mine.

Do you live in the United States? If so the only reasonable option for a router at this exact point in time is to run your own using opnsense or PFsense. You can buy an x86 mini pc with with a couple high bandwidth NICs and it’ll do the job
