Amen to this. I've followed pretty much the exact same path as you (pfSense instead of OPN though) and reached the exact same conclusion.

I have a sizeable networking background, but still absolutely hated having to keep up with this many moving parts. I very much didn't enjoy troubleshooting this setup.

Dumb is good.

Plex' Android TV app (ATV) is a travesty in regards to pretty much every feature that matters.

From broken playback state tracking, "currently watching" that just won't go away (obvious local state management issues), subtitles that randomly won't show up (no matter what you do), un-configurable +30s/-10s skip options, outright crashes (that toss the local state of whatever you were doing), fun with HDR playback (good luck, 0 handholding. You just have to make all the stars align yourself) and many, many more problems are routine.

Despite all this though, it is (or at least was 9~ months ago, when I made the switch) so much better than Emby (and sorta, by extension, Jellyfin -- which was much worse) on the same platform that it's astounding.

I remember being super impressed that metadata matching was mostly working for a predominantly ASPAC focused library. Library management in general is much better, now that I think about it.

That's just going to lead to blanket allowances, sadly. Path of least resistance and all.

26C at 80% is a good day in most of Asia, for what it's worth.

Likely not, it's a book that relies on the visual representations of how things are laid out a bit too often.

What that means in practical terms is that you'll be presented with diagrams and need to pause and think what they really mean.

This context will likely not be translated well in the audio form.

How strict is the "US, UK, Canada, AUS" requirement if one is able to match the team timezone?

Is CF open to hiring remotely, or are you guys only open to considering onsite applications?

Agreed. The pricing gets crazy fast when you're not really in control of your record / query count, like the typical SaaS dealing with customer data.

It feels tailored to first party use.

Probably unlikely. The only way it might be better (for now) is if you need to use something that uses the GUI.

But with native x forwarding coming soon to WSL2, you'll get the same experience soon enough (given that WSL2 is a separate VM running in Hyper-V already).

I've been using https://github.com/lucagrulla/cw for that.

Seems to work ...reasonably enough.

I'm not sure where it went wrong for you, but I had Zerotier up in 5 minutes as well.

Basically sign up for account -> install -> allow to join network in Dashboard. That was it.
