I certainly agree that it adds an element of complexity. I had never dealt with anything like this before and had to learn it, but it really is a pretty easy thing to setup.

Jellyfin is generally just as easy to set up for external access. The only thing you really need to worry about is having a dynamic IP. If you have a domain name, then setting up dynamic DNS is quite straightforward.

The only issue I have with people remotely accessing Jellyfin is that you cannot set a total system bandwidth cap. You can set a per stream cap, but that doesn’t help if you have too many people accessing your server at once.

That’s a great question, and I can’t seem to find an answer. I got my information from stats Canada, but I can’t seem to find how they define a home owner.

I certainly agree. Seeing as all property values skyrocketed in the past few years, those whose homes are now worth $1 million only kept up with everyone else.

Seeing as over 60% of Canadians own their home, that means that the rise of property costs merely widened the gap between those that own and those who rent. While the rise of property costs certainly isn’t a good thing, those who own property realistically aren’t any better off than they were before.

Does anyone have some recommendations for some good games?

This is my main approach to media. Instead of spending money every month on streaming services, I buy the media I care about. If I have to buy it on Amazon, then I pirate my own copy.

Your solution isn’t going to hurt anything. It might be overkill, but it will definitely work.

Ultimately, I think you only really need 2 of the solutions you mentioned.

  1. A network wide DNS blocker, such as Pi-hole, to catch the majority of ads.
  2. A browser ad blocker, such as uBlock Origin, for the rest.

Unfortunately, yes.

Whoever is cheapest, with good coverage in my area.

I don't particularly think any one carrier will have any privacy advantage over another.

Can you use PC Optimum points to buy gift cards? That’s a great idea!

I completely agree that children should simply be using family computers. Kids are much to young to understand proper internet safety.
