  • Also work in software, and still tweaking the smart home setup to be as intervention free as possible. The upside of the blinds is that I can leave the house and they automatically close to keep cool. When my morning alarm goes off it opens the top half to let in natural light - I’m a heavy sleeper so this is well worth it for me personally. Still haven’t set up smart switches, but it’s next on the list. Ideally a guest could stay and never even know it’s “smart”.






  • will all my Jellyfin traffic go through the VPS

    Yes

    and count as bandwidth used?

    Yes, twice (download from home to the server, and upload from the server to the client)

    I do the same thing - I have a 3TB limit, but usually only use 300GB, sharing Jellyfin to a dozen or so users.

    Edit: I’m sure there are plenty of good VPS providers out there, I personally have been using NerdRack for a few years now (got a VPS on special and the rate is locked as long as I keep it). Looks like they’ll do $11/year right now for a KVM VPS that’s sufficient.
