Watching what my friends and family do is 90% of the payment I get for doing all this shit. I like to see that they are enjoying all the work I put into it. Its not like I am selling their usage to fucking advertisers or something.

Don’t spy on your users. Sure, you’ll happen to see something once in awhile or when troubleshooting, but don’t go looking. It’s bad for you and for them.

And they know you are watching them?

Yeah. I openly talk to them about it all the time.

Just know you might be making them uncomfortable. I’m sure they have no expectation of privacy, but don’t go out of your way to check on them, and don’t call them out on their viewing habits. I have friends whom are uncomfortable as it is using my homelab because they are afraid of being judged. I’d echo the others here, don’t spy on your users…

I also provide this type of thing for friends and family for free (because I love them), and because payment would make me feel obligated beyond what I feel like doing. It sounds like you’ve made them aware, which is good. I also tell my friends that I can see what they watch, but that I don’t. You do you, but your meme suggested something unhealthy to me.
PetteriPano@lemmy.world 12 hours ago I mostly check if my SIL is watching anything before rebooting & updating. Otherwise my wife will stick her head in two minutes later to ask if jellyfin is down.

I don’t know why people are downvoting you. I stopped using my friend’s server when I realized he was watching everything we were doing. Really weirded me out.
