Deleted my previous comment - you're right, it's not able to identify the screen resolution etc without JavaScript.

Unfortunately I'm still fingerprinted though - no JavaScript is itself an identifiable marker.

Try this while on a VPN and in incognito mode: https://amiunique.org/fingerprint

I bet you'll be surprised at the methods companies use to fingerprint you - browser agent, Do Not Track enabled/disabled, timezone, screen size.. not accepting cookies is also a data point to filter you by.

Maybe look into getting a GL.inet travel router with WiFi and a Chromecast/Android stick. I use that when I travel. Setup a WiFi network on the travel router and setup the Chromecast on it for when you're at the hotel.

At the hotel, either jack the travel router into a network port then use your phone to sign in to the hotel's network, or configure Repeater/WISP to get the travel router to connect to and re-broadcast the hotel WiFi (again using your phone or PC to sign in). Going Repeater/WISP brings a sizeable performance hit due to the lack of radios but it's definitely do-able.

If you're hosting Jellyfin externally, job done. If not, you can configure OpenVPN/Wireguard on the travel router and your home router and connect privately that way.
