Which part has enshittified?
The only change I can see that when I scroll down on my Plex front page, there’s a bunch of stuff that’s not on my NAS. Some of them actually interesting, like this full ass category of old school kungfu movies:

I’m only bent on people running software on shit hardware. Roku is bottom barrel crap along with cheap TV sticks.

Step one: get your in-laws a cheap Apple TV from whatever site you use for used electronics. Or even a new one.

Vs “just install Plex on any NAS from its built in appstore” that’s like 42 steps too many for the regular user.

I paid 79€ almost a decade ago. I got more than my moneys worth. Even the current lifetime (on sale) is less than a year of Netflix. More expensive than piracy + Jellyfin ofc if that’s your benchmark 😀
I have a Jellyfin instance running anyway, I’ll switch to that if Plex enshittifies.

He’s not that smart or political
On the other hand it’s quite literally straight from Russias strategy book: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_generation_warfare?wpro…

Nope, not Elon
It’s literally Russian hybrid warfare. Elmo is just enabling it.
- Comment on The ancient Greeks or Chinese should have already had words for this. 1 week ago:
My brain is like a vector database, it stores the “feelings” of information, not the actual information - if that makes sense?
I can make lightning fast connections in my head when something happens, like when something breaks in production, I see the symptoms and the vectors just connect from effect to the cause.
Can I explain to others why and how I know where the problem is? Nope. …Or yes, but it’ll take a long time for me to follow the feeling-vectors and put them into words I can actually communicate to other people.
For actual people and characters in books I also retain the shape and …something about them, but I couldn’t explain how most people in my life look like to a sketch artist.
When I read a book, I kinda retain the “feeling” of the characters and maybe one or two visual traits. I can read thousands of pages of a character’s adventures and I can maybe tell you their general body type and clothing - if they have an “uniform” they tend to wear.
I’ve read all 5 books (over 5000 pages) of The Stormlight Archive and I couldn’t tell you what Kaladin (the main character) looks like. I have no visual recollection of his hair colour, eye colour, skin tone or body type.
Oh, and DEFINITELY no voice in my head. I’d get myself committed if I had someone talking to me in my brain.

Even if you have a dynamic IP it’s trivial to set up automatic DNS updates with a good provider that has an API to do it.

It’s all explained here: valetudo.cloud/pages/…/why-not-valetudo.html
The dev has a specific vision and that’s it. If you don’t like it you can use something else.
Just like the dev of Calibre/Kitty. He does things a certain way because that’s the way he likes it. It’s a stupid and shit way, but Calibre has no real competition so I use it 🙂
- Comment on Are you ready for a $1,000 Steam Machine? Some analysts think you should be. 2 weeks ago:
For me it’s either this or Framework Desktop, I’ve got the money, just waiting for the email from Valve telling the final price.
Steam Machine is better for gaming, which is nice
But Framework can do Mac levels of AI work, which is also nice, it’s also not completely useless for games.

- Comment on Valve Announces New Steam Machine, Steam Controller & Steam Frame 3 weeks ago:
Yep, and it seems the ram is upgradable
- Comment on Valve Announces New Steam Machine, Steam Controller & Steam Frame 3 weeks ago:
Most likely not, my guess is that it’s going to be super fast unified memory like in the Framework Deaktop
- Comment on Steam Hardware [new Steam Controller, Steam Machine, and VR headset Steam Frame, coming in 2026] 3 weeks ago:
Foviated rendering is a massive thing, usually only done in the expensive stuff.
It gives you a pretty big FPS boost because the device doesn’t have to render stuff the human eye can’t see anyway

I tried it but Copyparty worked better, it has a massive community suddenly and tons of cool features that mostly stay out of the way unless you enable them

4k with shit streaming bitrate is barely better than high bitrate 1080p
But full bitrate 4k from a Blu-ray IS better.

No you can’t; they’re not arguing from a place of good will, they all argue for the sake of arguing.
And in the worst case you’re arguing with a LITERAL PIECE OF CODE.
Block and move on.
