Hi, I dont plan to have a child for at least a few years, but sometimes I think about how I would raise them. I think about how parents today let their kids use the internet pretty much unmonitored, and let them watch and bring them to movies that are by most accounts, just flashing colors. Theres a few good ones Ive heard about such as Bluey, or movies like Luca, but I really dont think I'd want my kid to be watching Cocomelon, Pinkfong (baby shark), or any movie put out by Illumination. I especially dont want to allow them to use any kid of social media during their developmental years. However, I know for a lot of kids this is the norm, and I really dont want my kid to get bullied or to hate me for not letting them have what their friends have. What do current parents about the environment their kids are growing up in, and what would be good things to consider as I start to get closer to the age where I feel comfortable taking care of a little fella?

The way I see it, you have the hard drives ;) even if the server goes, you can always spin them back up

This is true! I suppose I mean I hope the project is still around or there is a similar enough alternative. Using FTP to stream video is a real pain ;P

Oh yeah, Jellyfin shouldn't be going anywhere and even then there's still Plex, emby, and a number of others. Heck, even VLC will do the job!
