I have both, Apple TV 4K and Shield TV Pro, both have strengths and weaknesses. Being able to use my AirPods with one click on the ATV is super nice, I also use it for Apple Music (with Atmos). The Shield is more capable, I am using Projectivy Launcher, autostart Plex on boot and it just works with all the codecs I ever needed. The ads are bad, but Android still allows you to change the Launcher (you only have to uninstall the stock launcher with adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 <package> ).

I get your take, the A1 Mini is smaller, but in the end, it’s a printer with crazy good value.

I guess I will also buy a Prusa next time. My P1S has internet blocked in my firewall, and I’ll use it in LAN mode until it dies.

But is a 1000€ printer an alternative for a 200€ Bambu A1?

Your post is very confusing. You want to use it only locally (on your home), but it can’t be a local-only instance.

You want to e2ee everything, but fail to mention why. There is no reason to do that on your own network.

I do not know why you want to use a VPN and what you want to do with it. Where do you want to connect to?

What is the attack vector you’re worried about? Are there malicious entities on your network?
