If you're only trying to use Jellyfin at home, you don't need any reverse proxy or domain. All you need is for both devices to be on the same network, and for the Raspberry Pi to have a fixed internal IP address (through your router settings).

On the Shield, you just give the Jellyfin app that IP address and port number (10.0.0.X:8096) to connect and you're good to go.

You don't even need to purchase a domain, free dynDNS services (DuckDNS or similar) are good enough for Jellyfin and the like.

For a NAS, you're usually concerned with capacity first. And you can't buy a 20TB m2.

Yeah, this is specific to the Google Messages app. For now, anyway.

I've had this happen a couple times, and contacting the seller directly has gotten it sorted out. Even if they seem sketchy, they don't want to take a hit to their reputation. If they don't want to help, I'd escalate to eBay support.

If neither of them work out, then I'd try contacting WD. A refurb with no warranty is better than nothing at that point.

A Zero would probably be way underpowered for the job. I've used a Pi 4 in the past and it worked ok, but choked occasionally.

My actual recommendation would be a small x86 box, something like a Lenovo Thinkcentre Tiny. You can get them used for about the price of a Pi, and they'll be much more reliable.

They're referencing the TRaSH Guides, a great resource for setup and basic tuning of an *arr stack. It's where a lot of people get started.

It isn't just the cover art, they also A/B descriptions. And some of them are so different they're basically lies.

I've used LIRC in the past. Takes a bit of setup, but it works well once you get it going.

Until then, a Raspberry Pi or SFF PC will do the job just fine. They even work with remotes if you get an IR receiver for them.

The devs have stated otherwise. The project was originally announced on an Arch Linux forum, so they included a nod in the name.

Same here. But on the bright side, at least data hoarding doesn't take up a ton of physical space.
