one main question should also be, do you want to selfhost or not.

because plex is not selfhosted imo due to their login servers.

you could use tailscale for that, it should be able to punch through the CGNAT

this is the way to do it.

and periodically keep taps on main releases to swap from 0.18 to 0.19

that looks really good!

how much work/how difficult was it?

but then how would you sell your 500k karma account to some shady company? /s

maybe that’s a dumb question, so sorry for that, but wouldn’t it be easier to just use a whitelist for federation instead of a blocklist?
