  LubeLogger

  For anyone whose first thought does not reach for vehicles, this is a most unfortunate name. Extremely appropriate, but unfortunate.

  I don’t like it, but it’s a pragmatic decision.

  Hosting for a simple website can be as little as a few bucks a month. That’s easy for any project to absorb, even if they are open-source with no one pulling a paycheque.

  Streaming requires high-performance, high-bandwidth machines that cost anywhere from several dozen dollars to several hundred dollars a month. You build a resilient high-availability network, and you could easily be looking at several tens of thousands of dollars a month.

  That isn’t easy to absorb, even for a for-profit company with clearly-defined revenue streams.

  Some people want everything for free, but free doesn’t pay the bills.

  Full disclosure: I don’t use the streaming feature. I prefer to grab actual copies to drop onto my NAS. I also don’t share to friends and family, as I am the only one I know of who uses Plex.

  It didn’t involve me It’s not my fuckin business.

  And that is exactly how things should be.

  Unfortunately, ChristoFascists are inordinately obsessed about the “morality” of other people, and tend to demand that the government gets involvedved in regulating what goes on in those bedrooms.

  Just not their bedrooms.
