Yes for yourself on a device that supports it but that doesn't address what my post stated.
The devices that I listed in my post are still going to run to the same problem in that sense that you're not going to be able to run tailscale on them either.
It is incredibly difficult to get jelljfin ypen into your friends or your parents or grandparents house without considerable setup and maintenance over time.
Not in my experience. I just had to click a few buttons. Once you set it up, it just works, with only the need to occasionally update the server.
Granted, I do have some experience in this area, so I might be doing the arrogant geologist meme. Maybe if it's so difficult to set up, I should do a tutorial one of these days.
