Gross. I didn't know that. I do occasionally use AirBnB. I'm aware of their impact on the rental market, so I favor hotels most of the time. But there have been a few occasions in recent years where I was traveling in a larger group and an AirBnB made more sense. But no more of that.

I looked in to this a little, and Joe Gebbia is no longer the CEO, but he is still on the board. Still a good enough reason to boycott.

It's a novel idea. But despite the article's claims this is not a practical alternative to a laptop in planes, coffee shops, etc. Nor is a minipc inherently more serviceable than a laptop as others have pointed out.

For traveling, if it's a longer trip, it almost makes sense to me as you'd have it set up for a while. Though I'd do a mini ITX system. The ones with external power supplies and no drive bays or expansion slots are pretty small. But even then, I don't feel like this would be significantly better than a laptop. And that's a lot to buy for a niche use case.

Edit: spelling and grammar

Maybe self host your own VPN on a VPS and connect the jellyfin server as a client as well as any other devices you want to see that jellyfin server as other clients and configure the VPN server to not override your default routing and to allow clients to see each other? In my head I don't think that would conflict with your protonVPN connection.

Your traffic would be encrypted between devices so I wouldn't say https is nessesary and thus no certs needed.

The rubs that occur to me are that I'm not sure you can do this on a free tier VPS which is the only option I see given your financial limitations. And your devices all need to be able to connect to said VPN.

Edit: Slightly less worse English.

Nope. I fiddle until it does what I want. If the thing I'm working on is complex or I'm struggling with it I'll keep versions of configs. And I back up working configs via an rsync job. Which isn't a particularly robust solution but I'm content with it for my needs.

Probably this is all very reactionary, NVIDIA's stock will recover and they'll remain a big player in the LLM space.

But I'm uninterested in LLM's and would love to see price drops on GPU's, so i hope there is a longer term moderate market loss for them in this space.
