I wouldn’t buy a new Seagate drive, let alone a refurbished one. Every Seagate I’ve ever owned died in less than five years. Every WD I’ve owned lasted until long after their capacity was so far outpaced by newer drives as to be useless.
Anecdotal, yes, but it’s happened enough to me that I’ve been soured on them for life.
For those of you who’ve never experienced the joy of PowerBuilder, this could often happen in their IDE due to debug mode actually altering the state of some variables.
More specifically, if you watched a variable or property then it would be initialised to a default value by the debugger if it didn’t already exist, so any errors that were happening due to null values/references would just magically stop.
Another fun one that made debugging difficult, “local” scoping is shared between multiple instances of the same event. So if you had, say, a mouse move event that fired ten times as the cursor transited a row and in that event you set something like integer li_current_x = xpos the most recent assignment would quash the value of li_current_x in every instance of that event that was currently executing.
There are a few options there.
As someone else mentioned if you’re using IPv6 then it doesn’t matter, you’re already routing internally even if you’re using the public DNS name, no extra work required.
All the rest are for IPv4.
If you’re not behind CGNAT some routers/gateways are also smart enough with their routing to recognise when they need to route back to their own external IP and will loop back locally instead of making any hops out to the internet. Again, if this is the case for you then no additional work is required other than perhaps running a traceroute to confirm.
Another option is to add a local DNS entry for the name you’re using to resolve to a local IP address instead of your public address. The complexity (or even possibility) of this is going to vary considerably with your setup. If you’re running your own local DNS e.g. pihole or similar then it’s trivial. This is how mine is set up.
If all your clients are going to be on PCs (or devices you have more than the typical manufacturer allowed modicum of control over) then you can do something kind of like the previous, just with all your local hosts files.
If none of the above are options, then you’ll unfortunately have to fall back on using a local name/address, which means a slightly different client setup for devices you use exclusively in your home versus ones you might use elsewhere.
Traffic for a local Jellyfin server should definitely not be going over the internet. Also any reasonably modern client should be able to direct play most media without transcoding.
As for my own Jellyfin setup, one TV has an Nvidia shield plugged in and is using the standard Android TV client. The other is a Samsung smart TV onto which I have side-loaded the Jellyfin Tizen app.
A temporary one that you’re expected to remove as soon as you’ve created the admin user(s) you need, but yes. It should only be there during initial setup and ideally removed before the server is ever exposed to the internet.
Neither of those points invalidate the idea presented.
Just because it’s not a uniform distribution doesn’t mean the average changes. Most people learning a thing earlier in life doesn’t change the average rate. Even if literally every single person learned a given fact on their ninth birthday, that still averages out to the same rate.
As for your second point, you’re conflating “things everyone knows” with “knowing everything”. Obviously people who are 80 still don’t know everything, but it’s not unreasonable to assume they share a pool of common knowledge most of which was accumulated in their early life.
And even if both of those things were valid criticisms, the thing you’re calling out as “inaccurate pseudoscience” is the suggestion that people shouldn’t be ridiculed for not knowing things, rather we should enjoy the opportunity to share knowledge.
Yes. It’s a commercial signage display, not intended for desktop use.
Same setup here, two USB drives dangling from my NUC. One of them is even notably slow for a USB drive. Still not an issue at all for home use. I’d probably need a dozen or more people all watching different things on Jellyfin at the same time before it even approached being a problem.
You are correct about it allowing you to have zero health and not die, but whether or not that’s the correct behavior will depend on the game. Off the top of my head I know that Street Fighter, some versions at least, let you cling to life at zero.
The difference between building your own car and designing your own internal combustion engine.

Don’t threaten me with a good time.
Or find lots of things that aren’t matches because it’s a fuzzy search with no way to search for exact text.
That tracks with my experience as well. Literally every single Seagate drive I’ve owned has died, while I have decade old WDs that are still trucking along with zero errors. I decided a while back that I was never touching Seagate again.
Depends what you mean by “use”. I’d be shocked if there aren’t any retro-computing hobbyist groups that still dabble in it.
The answer to “does anyone” questions is almost always “yes.”
There isn’t much difference at all. Neither should have a cap.
Data moving across a network doesn’t have any per-unit cost to the people operating the network. Whether you use 5TB or 5GB doesn’t impact the bottom line of the ISPs at all.
The only justification for a data cap would be if they’ve overprovisioned their network and sold too many people plans that are too fast for their network to support, so they need to disincentivise people from actually using it. Even then that’s pretty shaky justification.
There are non-browser JavaScript implementations, the most well-known of which is node.js
Even more ridiculous since a 1.4x performance increase is already incredible news for anyone who makes regular of this.
If someone found a software optimization that improved, say, blender performance by 1.4x people would be shouting praises from the rooftops.
