>We worked out a special arrangement so that this server is physically held by a long time contributor with a proven track record of securely hosting services.
Not clear if "contributor" is a person or an entity. The "hosting services" part make it sound more like a company rather than a natural person.
>instead of spending massive compute rediscovering it from scratch every time
it's interesting that this paper was discovered by JHU, not some groups from OAI/Google/Apple, considering that the latter probably have spent 1000x more resource on "rediscovering"
yeah it's just a Linux x86 desktop (Arch Linux) -- although, you'd likely want to make sure Jellyfin's hardware acceleration works well with AMD APU (last time I checked the AMD was under experimental)
