Thinking about this a little bit, I realized that I practically never use my USB port for anything, and only rarely use it for charging. On Pixel, is there any app that will just disable the data features of the USB by default unless I explicitly turn it on?

I assume that a feature like that would eliminate vulnerability to tools like cellbrite.

It has options for providing metadata, thumbnails, etc for jellyfin automatically, by pulling the metadata from the youtube page.

One example:

Another use case: when you look at activities that flow across multiple devices and you’re correlating the sequence of events, having every device set to the exact same, ideally correct time makes correlation of events less confusing.

I run wireguard VPN, qbitorrent, most of the *arr apps, and Jellyfin all in containers on a headless Raspberry Pi 4, with storage backed by a NAS. It works surprisingly well, I just ensure that I never need to do transcoding.

It’s a really small dollar investment to try it to see if it meets your needs.

Another option for very cheap VM, storage, bandwidth: Oracle Free Forever
