Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

hashed email xD, if someone has email it's just hash(email) == email. given how many emails leaked producing hashes of 90% of population emails is not a problem

So expected. Now anyone who's able to support the non exploitative alternatives like Jellyfin please do. It's how you keep the good things going.

If we find out "I do not consent" opts out, I'm fine with it. If we find out "I do not consent" leads to a "Close our account" page, it's time for pitchforks, especially since they recently had a huge sale on lifetime memberships.

Why? They don't need more money. Jellyfin proves how much of their service can be done for free

I feel like I know the answer but what happens if you click "I do not agree"?
