I use the tiller extension in Google sheets. With the community savings budget template to allow for 0 based or "envelope" budgeting. One of the few things in my life so far ahead of every other option I couldn't bring myself to ditch it and selfhost.

IP and port are what I put in my browser

I converted an old laptop into a home theater PC. My friend bought spare components for cheap and built a desktop for the same purpose. Not for everyone, but a great solution for some use cases. And can potentially fill other roles, like being your jellyfin host.

While shopping I suggest you find a spreadsheet with the capabilities of every device you're considering. A lot don't support certain formats, which can limit the kind of files and content you can stream. Last I checked shield and the Google TV stick thing were trouncing the competition.

Definitely need remote access, and tunneling in every time I want to sync my notes app is way too much work. I've containerized these services as a security layer and you need user creds to access anything without an exploit. I'm comfortable with that level of risk.

Dynamic DNS is a very cool thing I didn't know exists. I'll definitely look into it further! But for the time being I still need a fix for my problem.

Who exactly is having trouble believing this?

100% this. I've gotten to where when people try and rope me into their new million dollar app idea I tell them that there are fantastic resources online to teach yourself to do everything they need. I offer to help them find those resources and even help when they get stuck. I've probably done this dozens of times by now. No bites yet. All those millions wasted...

I already have one, they both fill up so fast. I don't really have the money or space for another.

It's definitely higher quality, I'm just not sure about paying $25 a steak at my current income level. I was hoping to find the point of diminishing returns. Most every product category you can get 85% quality at 50% cost by finding that line.

How wholesale are we talking? I love me some steaks, but I only have so much freezer space.

This has a lot of promise!

That's where I found my current top contenders. Nothing had exactly what I'm looking for, which is why I turned here. It probably just doesn't exist, but doesn't hurt to ask.

displayport and HDMI, both fairly new and high end. Not specific to windows though, as it happens on multiple linux distros as well. I'm 95% certain it's a motherboard issue.
