An algorithm basically means "a procedure to follow to do or decide something"

That's all it means.

Contrast a heuristic, which is more of a vibes-based way to make a decision.

Everything that makes it better than a generic copy, yes

Well, Intel's been talking about killing their fab business, so this seems to me more of an attempt to stave off the "obvious monopoly" scenario where all major fabs are run by TSMC. Sorta like Microsoft propping up Apple in the 90s or Google propping up Mozilla for the last 15 years.

Sure, it could be done client-side in theory. In practice, the Jellyfin team consider it outside of the scope of the project, so now you're talking about building or modifying a third-party client and directing all of your servers' users to use that client. This also only works for users who have a device that can run said client.

My intention was to do it server-side in such a way that it would seamlessly work with any client

I would love this. Motorola's Android is one of the most vanilla. I've had a fold for 4 years now (first a Fold 2 for 3 years, now a 5), but I would love if another brand could equal it, because Samsung phones have a lot of bloated crapware on them that does irk me. A revision of the Pixel Fold would also be adequate, but historically Motorola's been my favorite of the major phone brands for their clean software experience

Jellyfin does not support federation between multiple server instances the way Plex does, unfortunately. I was working on a project to enable direct server-to-server federation but once I got into the details it became clear that it was going to be a difficult problem that would require a separate server apps combined with a plug-in for Jellyfin on each end. Even then, Jellyfin isn't made to support e.g. servers being down, except by failing to stream a file, which doesn't have a good way to convey to the user that the file is temporarily unavailable vs broken/bad

Nah, he's set for life. Doesn't care much about money.

Woz is one of the first people who would tell you not to buy apple. He loves to tinker

Honestly though, anything under 10 minutes is a pretty brief pit stop, when you consider stopping into a store, using the bathroom, etc
