something that works for me is trying different servers until one gets through, i.e. it's not in the site's blocklist. Then I favorite that server and use it whenever I need that particular site
thanks for the relevant excerpt! One small correction: most of the AI sentences had valid and relevant cited sources, but the statements were not correct.
my personal rule of thumb is that if it's published in Nature, Cell, or another well-regarded journal, the statistical and experimental methodologies are almost certainly solid. Do you think I should adjust that rule going forward?
Sometimes I fork to make changes locally, but they're either me-specific or hacky garbage I don't want to publish. Because of that, I normally don't commit those changes, and definitely don't push to GitHub or make a PR.
I'm trying to say this in the most genuine and gentle way possible: to answer your direct question, yes, this would be classified as paranoia. I hope you continue addressing this, since you've already taken the hardest first step of noticing it. There are many different things that can cause paranoia and many of them are curable, with the remainder being very treatable. Please go see a doctor about these feelings.
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
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.
