It’s definitely because of Louis. He’s been doing a lot of work in the right to repair field, as well as this whole fuckin fiasco that Bambu (the 3d printer company) got themselves into by violating the LGPL license with some software. Streisand’ed themselves good on that one.

Ironically, this kind of response is exactly what I’m talking about.

not a frothyboi sorry. unless you’re encouraging other people to just open it to the internet with no security in place… that’d be a bit frothy.

Like I’m all for choices you know. But I want people to make informed choices. If I’d tried to pitch Jellyfin to my group of gamer friends for sharing media then it would have gone nowhere because it requires more technical knowledge than they possess or that I want to support. They were all able to set up free, relatively secure Plex instances with essentially no assistance.

It’s only frothing if you insist that installing tailscale on your grandma’s DSL modem is the best way to share home movies

Also you dont have to be lumped in with the frothing at the mouth Jellyfin users.

At this point if I were to switch from Plex I would go with Emby just because a bunch of sweaty nerds don’t simp over it every time Plex comes up in the news.

Less mentioned downside - digital rights management is significantly degraded in linux. Most commercial streaming apps/sites will work but but only at SD or 720p.

This is the same business model that tech “startups” use, just at a vastly accelerated time table. Upend some existing market (in this case, several markets) by burning through cash at an unsustainable rate. Once your customers have been hooked, and/or the alternatives eliminated as competitors, you crank up the prices to try and make the business cashflow positive.

Weren’t the Borg originally meant to be those worm-parasite things?

have to open it in a new tab to see it more clearly idk why.

“whatsthisshitfor”

On my parent’s it doesnt render anything at all. Just shows the wallpaper.

Roku has had a big ad on the side for a while now? I’ve been blocking it with DNS.

“Extremism”

I dont know if this is ever established in canon, but my theory is this is what allows the Borg to travel nearly instantaneously. Their transwarp corridors allow them to compress the infinite possibilities down to finite paths, and they’re limited only by where they have established transwarp exit nodes. Otherwise they’d go all salamander-ey everytime they used transwarp.

The extent of the setup for Plex is to log in with your email and password, pick which shared libraries you want to be pinned to your home screen, and then browse. My parents in their 70s were able to figure it out and all I had to do from my end was grant them access to the libraries I wanted to share with a simple check box.

This.

Securely sharing is simpler on Plex. I can invite anyone with just an email and they have near instant access to an HTTPS encrypted service. I don’t have to deal with setting up a VPN, reverse proxy or ACLs (in the case of something like Tailscale).
