You need to focus on both of these two things:
Regardless of the bends, is the pipe's height at output significantly lower than its height at input? If yes, you're good
Does the bendy part go up and down enough such that it could trap enough water to fully block the pipe? If yes, you're good
This is truly one of the shitpost of all time
I agree, and I'd say the backing skill is emotional maturity or emotional management
10/10 take; I was pleasantly surprised to see this on top of the comments π
I understand your sentiment and frustration, and I'm also in so much pain from the political situation in the US. I think this congressperson should be commended for showing support for Ukraine in an incredibly overt and tangible way. I don't think it helps us to shun all republicans, though I can understand those who do. If people like him can use their power to lead people back to goodness, I think we'll more quickly go back to truly being great again
Because you stated this so kindly, I'll add that for this meme style, the irony is often part of it. So yes, that's a piece of the joke: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/my-toxic-trait
This meme format has a lot of potential
I remember you were worried about your ISP messing things up for you, hence the VPN. I would recommend creating a "Virtual Machine" that does all of your downloading to whatever hard drive you're using. That VM can have proton installed. Then, on your regular computer (not within the VM), you can host Jellyfin with no VPN involved, making it accessible at 192.168.0.xx.
I think this hits your goals without needing to expose Jellyfin to the Internet. Plus it has minimal technical complexity. Your downloading traffic will be VPN protected, but Jellyfin will still be accessible to your local network.
edit: You can set up a password for Jellyfin, protecting it from your internal threats.
edit2: You can use letsencrypt to create a certificate that picky clients will accept. Buy a domain, any domain, and configure the "A record" to point to 192.168.0.xx (your Jellyfin IP). Then tell your client to go to whatever domain you get, like "luigiliterallydidnothingwrongplzfree.com", then the client will have to use the internet to ask DNS what the IP address is, but after that, it will just use your local network.
edit3: Since you just have the raspberry PI, instead of using a Virtual Machine, you could have 2 separate SD cards. One only has the downloader and VPN installed, the other only has Jellyfin installed (no VPN). Then swap as needed.
Do you have more information on this, or a phrase to Google? The idea of zero traffic, zero petty crime sounds incredibly impressive
I'd be mindful about being so prescriptive with solutions like that. What works well for you may not work well for someone else. But I do appreciate your input! Maybe try sharing it with more "I statements"?
It's a somewhat common thing with ADHD folks. As different parts of the brain start to fall asleep, there's a sweet spot where our brains are finally balanced. In other words, our limited executive function has adequate energy to manage just the fraction of the brain that's still awake.
