You should for sure move away from a proprietary OS. There are many ways to go about it. I personally use Arch minimal with hardened kernel. Everything runs in non-root docker containers. Commonly used distros are Ubuntu and Fedora. But there are many more to choose from. https://distrowatch.com/search.php?category=Server
To bypass their CDN (referred to caching) you need to setup a Page Rule for the entire Plex domain.

Thanks for the information. Although Argo still greatly reduces latency if a user cares to reduce communication time.
For every 1 degree Celsius, it’s 1.8 deg Fahrenheit.
A rise in temperature of 4 degrees Celsius is 7.2 degrees Fahrenheit.
Once you agree to letting friends and family access your hosted services, you become the tech support for any problems. Whether that be your fault, user error, etc. You should absolutely limit who you give access to. In my case, only three people can and that’s immediate family. No friends, no extended family. I don’t wanna deal with all that mess when I deal with it at work. Don’t over extend yourself by being nice.
Using Cloudflare is against the ToS when used for services like Jellyfin. Your account can be limited, closed, or find yourself getting a several hundred dollar bill for data usage because you’ve breached the terms of service. Additionally, streaming content on free accounts incurs higher latency which I’ve confirmed myself Argo smart routing massively reduces. https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/issues/9295 - Don’t abuse what’s free or you may lose it.
Google shouldn’t be indexing your domains anyway. If it’s flagged your domain, it’s been indexed and scanned. Alternatively, it could indicate you have a weak point somewhere on your server and you’ve been breached. Google’s scan picked up whatever it was. Though I doubt this is the case and just a false positive. Double check your robots.txt files and disallow everything. Most index bots respect this. You can use a community sourced bot blocker. https://github.com/mitchellkrogza/nginx-ultimate-bad-bot-blocker
I’ve been running my own self hosted services for almost a decade. Though I have a background in IT directly doing this kind of stuff daily at work. As long as you have a strong firewall, modern TLS, relevant security headers, automatic tools like fail2ban, and have a strong grasp on permissions, you should be fine. Before I moved everything to non-root docker, it was given its own service user and SELinux policy. Using direct DNS isn’t so much of a problem. You shouldn’t have any issues. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
Hopefully your friend didn’t encounter a scam, in which case it absolutely won’t improve fps. That’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever read. Otherwise it’s possible he misunderstood the article.
If it’s a misunderstanding, there is genuinely a use case for using third party software to remove graphics drivers. In case anyone doesn’t know, neither Intel, AMD or Nvidia uninstall processes completely remove all traces as if they’ve never been installed.
The software is called “Display Driver Uninstaller”, or “DDU” for short, is highly regarded among the tech community for solving various issues with driver upgrades and downgrades if you encounter one. It’s strongly recommended when switching between GPUs. It’s been discussed and recommended by nearly every high profile technology site and tech YouTube channel. In fact, Intel even has a support page about it.
There’s misconceptions about what the “Clean” or “Reset” options do when installing a graphics driver while one is already installed. This option only resets the user settings configured via the control panel provided by the driver package.

That’s a very weak argument. I get where you’re going with it. All moderns computers / devices are DRM first.
The PS4 and Xbox One and later are quite literally x86_64 architecture. They run either Windows NT kernel or Unix Kernel. Albeit custom OS variants that are functionally labelled “forks” for all intents and purposes. Games can be be ported between them and PC with ease due to this nature. They play movies and music whether it be streamed from an app, a DVD/CD, on a USB device or internal drive. They can browse the web using a web browser that’s part of the OS.
Traditional computers have had hardware based DRM for decades. There’s nothing really special about consoles having it too.
Consoles take the same approach as Apple has with iOS. They don’t want you doing anything with it that they haven’t approved. A walled garden to exert control.
Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo just lobbied really hard and padded pockets to get their exclusion.
It has moderation tools already. They’re upgrading and expanding them to be more granular per user feedback.
They’re not absent as your comment leads one to believe.
When Knox is tripped it sets off the root check. Your banks misleading statement is due to their own confusion. Knox is no longer active so it can’t guarantee there is no root access. The OS basically says it’s untrusted/insecure due to lack of Knox and always says it’s rooted regardless of that actually being true. You can hide root for all apps that check. Do note that while you can return the functionality of third party apps, Samsung baked in apps can be hit or miss. It’s a game of cat and mouse. I speak from experience.
Additionally here are some other conversations about it:

Knox is used by Samsung own functions. Your bank app only does a root check. Which can easily be hidden with Magisk. If you trip Knox, you lose the Samsung exclusive security features baked into the OS. That’s it. Google Pay and USAA both complained about root access and refused to work with Magisk hiding off. With it on, they function as normal.
Integration into Knox requires enterprise device management and a custom app.
One already exists
You list few vehicles but don’t appear to know they are in different segments. They’re not classified the same so you can’t lump them together.
Small cars, and mid size cars for that matter, don’t sell well in general. They’re ~9% of total sales each. Luxury and full size sedans are like ~3% each but they are targeting a very specific demographic that know they’ll always have a buyer.
People often blanket both true SUVs and Crossovers into the SUV category for simplicity. But they are in fact different. Crossovers do breakdown into multiple segments itself, though it’s typically the mid and full size that sell very well. Collectively crossovers are ~48% of the market. A good example of how to differentiate is Ford Explorer is full size, Ford Escape is mid size, Ford EcoSport is small.
Trucks are ~19%, and actual SUVs are ~8%. For example the Ford F-150 and Ford Expedition share the exact same ladder chassis. Different bodies are bolted on. By this definition, SUVs don’t sell well either. Lol. The terms gets muddied up due to mass consumer confusion.
Vans fill the rest of the percentage here, but are typically commercial and fleet.
As an American, it’s exhausting.
I can’t be reasonable with most because hardly anyone critically thinks. Not asking the important who, what, when, where, why and how questions. It’s surface level and whatever has the most attention. It’s hard to get someone to think for themselves. Not realising they are in fact easily influenced.
That is the intention, but what good does it do? People can still harass you through public tweets.
No.
My sentiments. Also, being on the spectrum doesn’t help. I do not have the capacity. I would be a terrible parent.
