I think the flashing is actually when an assitive system triggers the break
- Comment on Front Brake Lights Could Drastically Diminish Road Accident Rates 3 days ago:
Yeah, just have an accelerometer that triggers them
- Comment on Front Brake Lights Could Drastically Diminish Road Accident Rates 4 days ago:
Thats more an issue of using the same lamp for rear lights and turn signal

You’re also skipping two energy conversions by keeping it in the wire

Its called Microsoft Java for a reason

If you want to do something java like, try Kotlin. Its a more modern take on java and not developed by Oracle
- Comment on Plex now will SELL your personal data 1 week ago:
I have a Philipps OLED TV from 2019, with Android 9 or smth. But WebOS is a different beast.
- Comment on Plex now will SELL your personal data 1 week ago:
The issue is their approach to security. I don’t trust them to properly secure their software, since they have proven to prefer client compatibility over security.
- Comment on Plex now will SELL your personal data 1 week ago:
Yeah, but since you basically need a VPN to share Jellyfin safely, you now also need to install and maintain that on their end
- Comment on Plex now will SELL your personal data 1 week ago:
I will not make myself the tech guy for half my friends and family, just because I can’t share Jellyfin safely without a vpn
- Comment on Plex now will SELL your personal data 1 week ago:
Also the people that know how to set that all up and still expose a Jellyfin server to the public internet
- Comment on Plex now will SELL your personal data 1 week ago:
Because Jellyfin users like to feel superior. Accepting that other people have other requirements from software is hard, especially when you feel like you choice is the only valid one.
As a long time Plex user, who has a Jellyfin running in parallel, just not shared, I will keep using Plex until they either force me off of it or Jellyfin manages to make accessing servers remotely easier and more secure.
- Comment on Plex now will SELL your personal data 1 week ago:
Yeah, first thing I did after testing the new app. Still don’t know why they feel the need to push this out so aggressively instead of letting it run in parallel until its ready
- Comment on Plex now will SELL your personal data 1 week ago:
If you have not set up a VPN for accessing your Jellyfin, I would suggest looking into the myriad of security issues the Jellyfin Backend has. Jellyfin has no business being accessible from the public internet
- Comment on Plex now will SELL your personal data 1 week ago:
If they adhered to somewhat modern security principles for their Backend I wouldn’t mind hosting it behind a reverse proxy. But since large parts of the API is unauthorized and unprotected, I wont.
And I do not plan on supporting family and friends in setting up vpns on all of their devices
- Comment on Plex now will SELL your personal data 1 week ago:
Or… You know… Jellyfin could make it so I don’t have to setup elaborate VPN schemes and have every user install that on every one of their devices. For example they could fix their security issues to make it safer to expose JF through a reverse proxy, bug they refuse to not break client compatibility
- Comment on Plex now will SELL your personal data 1 week ago:
I’m not even against Jellyfin or anything, but as long as I have to build elaborate VPN solutions to continue sharing my content I’ll stick with Plex. Not even starting with the availability of clients on different platforms and the general lack of polish in Jellyfin first party UI (player and config).
I could live with most of that stuff if there was a way to share my library without becoming tech support for half my friends circle
- Comment on Plex now will SELL your personal data 1 week ago:
User sharing without opening my Plex server to the public internet. For Jellyfin I would have to become a VPN provider and allow people into my private network to share it safely, since you wouldn’t want to have Jellyfin available to the internet with their stance on security
- Comment on Plex now will SELL your personal data 1 week ago:
Not to rain on your parade, but the Plex App on my TV, with a library of almost 40TB also loads in seconds
- Comment on AI model collapse is not what we paid for 1 week ago:
Because Google allows them to. They could easily ignore these kind of tricks but choose not to

And how would you presume we reach a level that could help them without starting somewhere? Do you think this kind of tech just pops up, fully formed?

Could you explain the bit about Unraid and random disks? Is it for a RAID setup?

Then nothing changed for you with this, it only affected people without a pass

And Im sure as a host you already have a Plex Pass? Probably life time?
