An AC is an “air heat pump”. The only difference between an AC and what we call a “heat pump” is a reversing valve, which can send refrigerant the other way to heat the interior instead of cooling it.

They’re literally the same thing.

Your reverse proxy should have a cert with HTTPS.

Jellyfin equivalent which doesn’t require a subscription for your own media library.

Use SwiftFin app instead on Apple TV, but better than the Jellyfin app.

Simple, no ads, and handles HDR super well

I’m sure google will fix that in chrome, like killing adblocker functionality.

Less HTTPS = easier government & advertiser data collection

Corporate nets use 802.1X authentication, risk of a DHCP hijack is very low.

As someone who works in large corporate networks, we absolutely don’t assign static IPs outside of core network gear, it’s impossible to manage a fleet of servers in this way with scaling in mind.

Instead of doing a manual action in two different places and having to keep them in sync, just do it once on the DHCP server. Setting a static IP on the server is superfluous.

good general advice until you have to try to explain to your SO the VPN is required on their smart TV to access Jellyfin.

don’t do this, use DHCP reservations instead so you actually have a list of all your servers and most routers register hostnames in DNS for you which is even better.

My personal opinion, as soon as you’re charging and providing SLAs you’ve exceeded what you should be doing on a residential ISP.

I’d really recommend putting your app in a real cloud solution, which can provide actual load balancing via DNS natively for regional failover if you desire.
