  • Do you plan to use it from relatively static locations like a desk at work, at a coffee shop, - desk or coffee table at home without feeling like you need to hook it to a monitor? 15”.

    Do you plan to use it on the go, primarily while traveling or otherwise want to be able to take it with you somewhere on a whim, or otherwise use it in more dynamic spaces in your house like from different sides of a couch, in your kitchen, sitting in the porch etc. then 13”.

    To boil it down, 15” is great for when you want to use it as a more mobile desktop computer. 13” is great for “I need to take this with me everywhere, or be able to use it anywhere without feeling like I’m ‘lugging it out’”

    Honestly, the easiest thing to do is put it on a mesh VPN like Tailscale and connect their streaming device to your tailnet. If they’re non technical parents then if their TV OS doesn’t support Tailscale, you can pick up a Walmart brand ONN streaming box for <$50 which supports for Tailscale and Jellyfin.






  • Yeah Nextcloud won’t mention VPN for hardening because the assumption is you want it publicly accessible.

    I have a number of things publicly accessible and there are a number of things I do to secure them. crowdsec monitoring and blocking, a reverse proxy with OIDC for authentication, a WAF in front of it all. But those are only for the things I have exposed because I want other people to use them. If it’s something just for me, I don’t bother with all that and just access it via VPN.
