  • This past week I switched my server to Jellyfin and migrated all my users over to it after I just happened across a thread a month ago about Plex charging for remote streaming on the 29th of April.

    I never got an email from Plex about the change until April 29th… Scummy behaviour and I’m sure a lot of users and server owners bought their product in a panic as a result.

    So far Jellyfin works perfectly, all my users are on Rokus and the app works perfectly on there.

    Plex will only continue to get worse so I’m glad I made the jump.




  • Trump and his circle have to be making billions shorting the market with this tariff sham he’s running every month.

    There’s nothing else that makes sense and he’s going to play this yoyo tariff game as long as it keeps moving markets. Only way it might stop is if one of these controlled dips gets away from him and the bottom falls out of the market completely.








  • Wow that was a great read. Leif comes across as very perceptive on multiple fronts here.

    Unfortunately I think his warning about the internet ending up like “souped up TV” is looking more likely by the day.

    Right now it’s quite easy to force a site or service to bend the knee to outside pressure. No matter how right or wrong that pressure is. People will go after hosting and ISPs, if that doesn’t work they’ll tie people up directly in the courts. You must provide real contact info and be willing to play ball if you operate on the old web.

    Embracing encryption is the only thing I can think to do to avoid that. Which honestly kind of sucks, because while true anonymity would save sites like Omegle who act in good faith and police themsevles in a reasonable manner, others that don’t will also be protected. I think the pros out weigh the cons with anonymity but that is a hard pill to swallow for many.
