Is that a reference to Angleton?

Wow, that sounds like a decent start for an architecture.

I'm tempted to spin up a few Jellyfin instances to see how it might work...

Decent writeup by Charles Stross:

The mode of operation of WorldCon/the Hugos seems interesting as in "May you live in interesting times"

JellyFed(eration) would be awesome. It should use an anonymous overlay network so federation is not limited to people you trust in copyright-zealous jurisdictions.

I didn't know you could hear a picture so clearly.

Teenagers and a dog sound like Scooby Doo. No idea how specific the rest is.

It doesn't. It carries you by having a module for absolutely everything even shooting yourself in the foot.

That's the equivalent of leaving the door open and hanging a sign "Internet over there" pointing at a wall.

Programs don't need to respect those registry keys. If you're worried about internet access, set up a firewall.

Also, if you're worried about malware, the damage is probably done before anything connects to the internet.

For all Mankind x Delta-V: Rings of Saturn

Same universe as far as I'm concerned

B stands for Billion (Parameters) IIRC

Should not be a problem with proper planning. Assuming the Trace tracks side along apparition and shows the destination, just have another mode of transport waiting at the destination.
Apparition -> broomstick -> knight bus would be a simple chain to set up.

Alternatively, depending on the exact mechanics of the trace, multiple apparitions from the same spot could be confusing as well, possibly even in addition to the poly juice plan.

If the trace does not record the identity of the underage wizard that's causing the alert, adding more underage wizards to the equation would cause total mayhem, especially given the usual "competence" of the ministry.

Depending on how cunning you get, using an information channel you control to feed the opposition false information should be possible as well. Set up a plan requiring specific spells, cast them near "traced" Harry and walk the opposite direction.

To a certain degree, yes. If someone at Google decides to wage all-out war against ad blockers they have a good chance. But if that costs more money than it generates, odds are that someone will stop it. Google / Alphabet is publicly traded after all and that means profit above all else.
