Some of my favorite apps are on F-Droid and nowhere else.
These apps are for the privacy-minded people, by privacy-minded people who will absolutely refuse to be tied by name (or digital signature with an identity verification process) to their apps.
And then there's the problem of making legally gray apps (emulators), now someone needs to be tied to that app, which makes then easier to find, or if an app starts to irritate a government or corporation, then they can find who published it pretty easily (likely without proper the proper legal oversight/subpoena) even outside of the Play Store.
What the fuck Google.
I'm putting my new NAS to good use, all my homies use my Plex server. 🫡
Still, most people will look at the TV during the meeting, so all you see is one side of their faces.
We tried the owls in some of our meeting rooms and we scrapped those.
What's the point of having a 360 camera in the center of the room when everyone will stare at the big TV anyway? All the people at the other end see is everyone looking sideway to the camera.

It's mostly to avoid a lossless capture, recording it will lead to quality loss.
Most people don't care, so they'll download whatever they can.
Your best bet for quality dubbed content is to find the raw blu-ray torrent (check for the included audio tracks), and retranscode to x264, x265 or AV1 with Handbrake and the audio tracks you want to keep. No need to tinker with a/v sync from there.
You either have
- Easy to use
- Will eventually lose support
- May remain unpatched
or
- Require more maintenance
- You can run the OS of your choice
- It's your responsibility to ensure it remains patched
I decided I wanted something long-term, and bought a NAS appliance I can boot my own OS onto it, so I went with the Ugreen DXP2800.
I'm running Ubuntu LTS, with Cockpit as the webUI to manage parts of it, and my web services are all running through podman containers (aka quadlets).
There's a bit of a learning curve, which is the price I was willing to accept.
More like cheques and account balances.
You may want to have a dead man's switch so that the server shuts down without your intervention, or there's the possibility that a forensic team could retrieve the encryption key in RAM through some physical attacks.
I host a couple of encrypted snapshots in the cloud (stuff that I can't afford to lose), but it's still vastly cheaper to host a massive amount of data locally.
The stuff I have locally is mostly stuff I can recover elsewhere (yarr), so redundancy without backup is good enough cost-wise.
