Totally fair but his complaint was about too many satellites which means we're limited to terrestrial options

While I can appreciate that, starlink is going to keep launching them even if we don't use it in Canada. Saying cut starlink out is fine and all but there are lots of places and communities without any decent broadband options at all (in Canada and beyond).

If your in an area getting decent cable or fiber as an option then your comments really don't require any level of sacrifice from you.

Would you commit to the comment to prevent starlink from additional satellites if it meant a general tax increase for everyone resulting in you personally paying an extra of $200/year to accomodate fiber buildout and maintenance?

Top be fair it is hardware that is 8 years newer than the first switch.

Depending on what services you want to give access with, I have had great luck with an ultra cheap VPS

Then I host my edge services on a container and use an ssh tunnel to the remote host which gives me an ipv4 and any port forward that I want.

For example I have my reverse proxy inside my network and my VPN server then I use a command like:

ssh -R 8080:localhost:80 public.example.com

Which would forward publicip:8080 to localhost:80

I use autossh to keep the tunnel alive at all times.

This is an ultra cheap way to get any ports you want and self host the whole thing. The remote VPS also doesn't get any extra access to your local network and doesn't initiate the connection so it doesn't have credentials for your local network

Really I think we are going to see an increase in jellyfin uptake given the changes which is great for that project

But if you don't already have lifetime and are paying monthly or annually then that price is also almost doubling

Things like this maybe? I haven't seen any performance days but it's a cool project

My suggestion is to migrate the server to the Java edition and use one of the projects that support plugins like paper or purpur.

After that install geysermc, floodgate, viaversion, and viabackwards plugins.

https://geysermc.org/download https://github.com/ViaVersion/ViaVersion https://github.com/ViaVersion/ViaBackwards

This lets people connect to the Java server from bedrock clients and it gives some flexibility in the specific version used to connect to the server.

This way you can use whatever official or questionable version of the Minecraft server client.

Migrating the world might require a special tool like chunker.

Once your on the Java edition client all kinds of options open up for you in terms of plugins and options should you wish.

The geysermc plugin supports extensions as well one I recommend is:

https://github.com/MCXboxBroadcast/Broadcaster

This one let's you add an Xbox friend that you can join from most bedrock clients super easily.

I honestly think its a cheat in this election. He called an election to happen literally a few weeks after sending everyone $200 of tax payer money. Money that could have been used to support criminally underfunded institutions like Heath care (which people blame the feds for despite being fully within the provincial mandate)

This would have the same outcome

7,5,2 and 30 uncast

Vs

17,15,12

Same people win

If you go with your option A, you could virtualize the windows install and run it inside of the truenas or other os using qemu.

You would still need to have enough drives for a new array, but that was always going to be the situation
