For me it's better to not have random unsecured devices on my home network rolling out the red carpet to any malicious actors, foreign or domestic.

    Keeping it in the homelab defeats the point. I could do separate vlans and route traffic but I'm still putting a bot online for an unknown, something like jellyfin is a better option all around.

    These boxes are aimed at people who barely know what a network is, they just want to plug it in and watch. No config, no hassle, it'll de facto be on the same network as their laptops and phones.

    The Darknet Diaries episode, SuperBox is an entertaining listen if this stuff is interesting.
