Yes, back to enjoying your Reddit moderating

No, no moral high ground or grandstanding…just reality
No it’s 100% grandstanding, sorry.
What I’m pointing out is that, at the end of the day, it’s not your lump of clay to mold even if you disagree with the way it’s being molded.
So ultimately you’re adding nothing to the conversation at all. Yes this is the behavior I’m describing lol. VERY reddit behavior.
- Comment on Self-Host Weekly (14 August 2026) 1 week ago:
Hmm seems everyone is living in the same reality is you though, so your comment has no substance or meaning other than some weird self-enlightened moral grandstanding.

Cool, nobody said you did.
Similarly, there’s no binding contract that says when you remove features from your software’s community edition in order to drive more profits without any added value, I’m disallowed from criticizing you for it.

I’m not a big fan of this sort of pseudo-philosophical contrarian fence-sitting.
I mean sure, he’s not technically wrong, but it also implies that while Developers have the freedom to perform these rug-pulls (they do), the author simultaneously wags their finger at the people who have freedom to react the way they have.
Developers (companies) are not entitled to be free from criticism or backlash for acting shitty.

- Comment on How I self-host my ebooks and audiobooks 4 weeks ago:
I use Bookorbit not Kabota but this is usually done via OPDS. Kavita is the server and KoReader or a dedicated plugin on the kibo is the client.

How would it, or any software for that matter determine a given request is malicious before it does something malicious?

This is the selfhosted community. Not the Free, Open Source community.
I think you can infer the rules from the name here. The stuff you post must be related to software you can host on your own hardware. It need not be free, nor open source.
Now your point about spam from brand new accounts that are literally just ads on the other hand is valid.

These are forks of BookLore, which was the vibecoded one.

Book Orbit just added this functionality in the latest release. Grimmory I believe has this too.
- Comment on Why I moved my Plex library to Jellyfin after 14 years 2 months ago:
The UI is objectively better but it still looks like a 10 year old material UI student project. I’ve been keeping an eye on it but it might not be worth giving up the stability for
- Comment on Why I moved my Plex library to Jellyfin after 14 years 2 months ago:
FinAmp and its beta rewrite don’t really come close to PlexAmp in terms of functionally or polish, but if anyone switched from Plex to Jellyfin and wants a nice aesthetic music player app Discrete has done the job for me. It’s essentially an Apple Music clone so it looks nice and navigates well.

The problem with that is you still have to buy the rest of the computer to put that 3090 in.

It’s good for the same things machine learning has always been good for. Language synthesis and analysis. Selfhosting something like Paperless for document management. It actually has a very rudimentary learning engine for document classification for a long time but feeding document content to a local AI model for organization tagging is very useful.
- Comment on Self-hosting in 2025 isn't about privacy anymore - it's about building resistance infrastructure 7 months ago:
It is a skill much like maintaining a car yourself, or your own lawn/garden.
It’s pretty easy to get started, and there are certain ways of doing things that keep it pretty simple forever, at the cost of some flexibility.
But no matter how you do it, there will be a non-zero amount of work involved indefinitely. Just like you need your cars oil changed, your garden mulched and weeded, or your server patched and cleaned up once in awhile.

- Comment on Jellyfin 10.11 RC1 Released 1 year ago:
Yeah it definitely does not work in this case. Spent many hours online looking through threads of people with the same problems, but no real solution. I think it has something to do with Unraids MFS implementation. Might be a little older. Only way to get it to work is have a script run every 10 minutes to check for the drive and if it’s not mounted, mount it. Works well enough.
- Comment on Jellyfin 10.11 RC1 Released 1 year ago:
Im using UnRAID for storage and getting another Linux machine to mount a share in boot has been an exercise in futility so I get it.
- Comment on Plex now will SELL your personal data 1 year ago:
Because this is the selfhosted community, not the FOSS community. That being said, yeah don’t use Plex.
- Comment on That's all folks, Plex is starting to charge for sharing 1 year ago:
You don’t need a VPN to trick Plex. Exposing the web ui to the world will likely show traffic coming from your router, which is internal.
This is not the case at all. That’s not how routing, nor port forwarding works. This will work on Jellyfin, but if you do it on Plex without paying, this will be blocked. You are still fundamentally misunderstanding how literally all of this works. And it’s getting to the point where I’m wondering if you’re actually this confidently ignorant, or if you’re just a troll, given the only comments on your account are pro-Plex and anti-Jellyfin.
Jellyfin is also very limiting based on your users devices. There is no Jellyfin app for Samsung TVs (without sideloading) or Playstation. Users there are shit out of luck.
Users there would be shit out of luck with Plex too, because neither of those platforms support Tailscale or any other VPN. More clients support Jellyfin than VPN apps, so if you’re not paying for Plex, then Jellyfin is less limiting than Plex.
The thing you’re failing to grasp is that Jellyfin is not nearly as simple as you’re making it out to be.
What you’ve failed to grasp is that Jellyfin is exactly as simple as I’ve made it out to be. You can forward a port, give your client an address to pop in, and remote streaming will work flawlessly, for free. You cannot do that same process with Plex for free. Only if you pay for it.
