It sounds a little dire, but I could imagine if in some places of the world governments get worse and want to fuck people, it could be really easy to pin cybercrime on them.

Could the titular jellyfin server be caught by shitty mac or windows (or god damn smart tv) spyware?

I’m in the US and I don’t think merely running the software is a realistic issue. Torrents etc. will get you flagged for civil enforcement.

If you’re traveling into the US, first of all, don’t, but if you are anyway, expect to turn on and unlock any phones, laptops, etc., and they may be taken out of your sight, and cloned and/or have malware implanted. But jellyfin isn’t a factor in that scenario.

yeah, honestly I would think veracrypt, a LUKS partition, or such would be a bigger factor
