It's in settings > accounts and sign in > your Gmail account > apps only mode . I have to scroll down for it on my Chromecast but if you have it on your Sony it should be in there.

My Chromecast is doing it's job fine with app only mode but the day they change it or take away that mode I've got some mini PCs ready to have libreelec thrown up on them.

If you go the android route turn on Apps Only Mode in the settings. It gets rid of the home screen ads for the most part and disabled a lot of the "features" that Google tries to push.

Given what you've got running I only really recommend, as other have, portainer. It's made my life so much easier. Edited this since I saw you have homarr and I must've missed it the first time.

There's a docker container that I run on my server.

That's the container I use. It's good enough imo.

I use deemix and jellyfin for playback. Browsing on deemix is not as good as spotube but I like it.

Casting is always weird with networking like that. I'd highly recommend trying to find a way to run jellyfin locally cause nothing will really make Tailscale play nice with casting in my experience.

I'll say that I've run both Kavita and Calibre+Calibre-Web. I've stuck with running Calibreand Calibre Web together. Kavita was great but since I read on kindle and Kavita-email never worked for me I went back to Calibre. I also prefer calibre since it lets me convert files and change the cover images.

Personally I had more issues getting kavita to work the way I wanted than I did with calibre.

Not safe? Setting up a VPN isn't that hard.

This shouldn't surprise anyone considering they gave Grahan Hancock a whole fuckin series of bullshit. Netflix's "documentaries" have been jokes for a few years now.

I share with my wife and just got the family plan. It's overkill probably but it makes it simpler and I don't have to think about 2 separate subscriptions.

Listen man I actually thought RoP was decent but God damn that's very incorrect.
