Yup. Look I don't like the idea of drone/robot warfare, but Ukraine doesn't have enough military support to win conventionally. As much as I wish allied countries would take the gloves off, they are still assisting minimally from afar so Ukraine has to get creative.

Won't you please think of the profits!

It's a hockey term that Canadians have adopted to mean to stand up to American influence / Trump.

Big? The headphone jack is not large enough to protrude from a cell phone chassis. Any company telling you they can't fit it is just lying to sell you BT headphones.

I've been using Signal for years and my database was getting really bloated with media, attachments, etc but I didn't want to delete it all. I used this and it's incredible:

https://github.com/bepaald/signalbackup-tools

Just make a backup from within signal, copy that backup file to your PC, then run this tool. The commands I used make an HTML webpage that looks just like the signal messenger, along with a way of searching your messages. You can choose different commands to export however you like.

I used:

signalbackup-tools [input] [passphrase] --exporthtml [directory] --split --searchpage --originalfilenames

So while this doesn't help you move off your current messenger, you don't have to worry that your data/messages will be lost in Signal.

It's a test flight. Going higher was likely not the goal.

Let my try and distill that. SpaceX is capable of doing some good work, when Elon leaves them alone.

Remember, Starship is Elon's napkin drawing idea of making a big cheap steel tube. Bigger and bader than everyone else! For a mission that doesn't exist, which it's not even designed properly for. Starship is 100% Elon's blunder and he's made so many insane promises for it that it's dragging SpaceX down.

Starship is SpaceX's Cybertruck.

They used to have poor band support in north America, though that seems better now on the 5. I'm still salty about the removal of the headohone jack though.

That's basically what I do right now except I do have a domain and my ISP doesn't restrict inbound ports like 443 so it works fine.

Just trying to sort out if I want the headache of a VPS if I don't need it (costs, maintenance, point of failure, etc).

There's no real way of knowing what would have happened, but knowledge is eventually gained. Somebody would have developed nukes even if it tool a lot longer and we'd end up being in a similar situation eventually.

What added security do you get by using a VPS besides obscuring your home IP? I can definitely see benifits to not leaking your home address, but otherwise the reverse proxy and wireguard tunnels don't actually add any increased security for the extra steps. You could just host a reverse proxy at home, and any flaws Jellyfin could have in their app would still be exposed.

I'm not knocking your solution, I'm just in a similar place and considering if I want to go through the extra hurdle for a VPS if I don't need one.
