In general that might be a recipe for better living 99.9% of the time, yet for the paranoid it remains a hard art to master!

I didn't know about this, this sounds great! My question then is, can I still access jellyfin on LAN after it connects to the internet via the VPN?

Thanks. Question is: how can one know the security practices behind the scenes? I guess it's a matter of trust and luck after all!

Thanks, still some apparently major ones require it, might be the case that I need to keep looking for alternatives.

count me in! i'll Take the L

How can I actually avoid the transcoding?

Will HDR work as well with Plex/Jellyfin? TV does support that reading files directly off the NAS, but I agree it is high maintenance

Yes but then I wouldn't be interacting with Jellyfin and wouldn't have the Netflix-like interface, right?

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind! On the side note, why do you say Jackett dev has stopped? The last release on github is 16h ago. Also, I am still a bit old fashioned here, and haven't entered the *rr world yet!
