Theoretically, but in practice SMRs won't be useful for that. They still need a large and robust containment building, and nuclear grade security around it. They need a cooling pool or guaranteed supply of water.

A more practical idea for small fossil fuel stations is to turn them into spinning mass, to help provide inertia and a bit of energy storage. Or turn the site into a battery.

They will just throw Rolls Royce some money to muck about with SMRs, before realizing what everyone already knows - they aren't better than traditional reactors, and nuclear in general is the most expensive form of energy we have.

Naturally the taxpayer and consumers will be on the hook for all this.

It's not a solution for non-technical people, but can you use Cloudflare Zero Trust or similar for Plex?

I have my own Subsonic music server at home, using Navidrome. I set up Cloudflare Zero Trust so I can access it remotely via the web, with a secure Google login in front of it. You can use other authentication methods, it doesn't have to be Google. Passwords, 2FA, certificates, other providers.

For desktop, any browser works. For mobile I use Symfonium. It's not free, it's a cheap one-time purchase, but it works great with that set-up and means I can stream my music anywhere, without the need for a VPN.

Is it possible that software is not like anything else, that it is meant to be discarded: that the whole point is to always see it as a soap bubble?
