Nope, both go directly from your PC to your tv. Plex does a log-in thing to their servers but that’s just an account. Jellyfin is 100% local.

For a PC and a roku on the same network I would highly recommend Plex or Jellyfin. You store the video on your pc and stream it over to the tv over the network. They’re both free, Plex is closed source and has some paid features if you want that, Jellyfin is totally open source.
I’ve been using Plex in this setup for a lot of years and its been rock solid.
The potential for distros optimized for specific tasks without needing to swap out entire kernels. A “gaming” focused scheduler probably looks different from a big data cruncher or a super multi-tasker server.
Yep Lemmy uses SMTP and in my experience most self-hostable platforms do as well. You can see in the Lemmy config documents how it gets set up: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/administration/configuration.html.
Made with Gtk4, WebKitGTK, libadwaita and Flatpak.
WebKit based, which is interesting. I don’t have much experience with WebKit on Linux.
Is it actually changing your display brightness or is it just doing a visual overlay like flux?
As I understand it, NAT is a firewall with only a very basic configuration: allow all outbound and accept only established inbound. If you don’t expect to have any incoming connections and completely trust all your internal devices then its good enough.
However, if you start wanting to port forward for servers (SSH, FTP, video games) you need to poke holes in the NAT firewall and it has no additional configuration options to help you. The same goes for if you have internal (ex. IoT) devices that you don’t necessarily trust, there are no rules to block outbound traffic.
That’s what finally did in my 10 year old Corsair. I was technically within specs on wattage with my new 4070 but certain loads would cause it to trip the over current protection anyway.
Roku, android TV, samsung, webOS, and a bunch of other random smart tv platforms all have plex apps. For direct hdmi I assume most people run a media center like kodi (xbmc).
