Assuming you set it up for SSL, and you own and manage your own domain, and they’re using a computer. Easy. So for the 10% it’s cake.
How’s it look for the rest?

Community Manager: After we changed the terms of our public client to force everyone to pay for what used to be a free service, our ratings have taken a hit. If we don’t get back to at least 4.0, Google won’t feature us for free advertising. Everyone, go and leave a 5-star review.
Developers: but there are mill…
Community Manager: STOP, go and review now. scoot!

My father once said don’t stick your dick in crazy.
It’s one of the more true and less offensive things he told me.

that negative feelings come from places where my mental image of the world conflicts with objective reality.
Used to work in the backend of insurance.
It’s ‘possible’ to double bill for a good reason, but it’s an outlier of a situation.
If you have a shitty insurance company, they’ll stretch money in bad times by only paying places out after multiple requests. They also get trained that if an insurance company drags their feet, the second time they’re billed, they get paid, so they always do it.
Any insurance company worth its salt will catch double billing.
Now, all that said, a LOT of providers double bill and get paid multiple times.
It’s usually assholes all-the-way down.

You add another node to the untrusted node (or the reinstalled current node) and let it sync back.
alternatively there’s a decrypt command, you could go to the untrusted mode, copy the data off to a disk and decrypt it with the tool but I think that f’s up the structure.

Edit the share, enable file versioning, choose which flavor.
- Comment on 3-2-1 Backups: How do you do the 1 offsite backup? 4 days ago:
The best part about sync thing is that you can set it to untrusted at the target. The data all gets encrypted and is not accessible whatsoever and the other side.

If you make it opt out by default, They could just design the software to not let you enter the page unless you opt in. Often get the page opt out get a nice advertisement for the service.
Even using cookies to help with load balancing is a pain in the ass these days. There’s a fuck ton of legitimate reasons to use cookies, If you want to stop tracking, Make it illegal to track people and sell advertising data based on it.

I don’t want them to control what I say or think, just what other people say or think, and I want to be the one in charge of all that, or at least be on the side that’s in control of that. – An uncomfortably large portion of the U.S.
- Comment on Over 250 CEOs sign open letter supporting K-12 AI and computer science education 1 week ago:
All this AI pressure is coming from somewhere. I think Altman got to all the CEOs and convinced them the day I was the future and they’re all heavily invested stock-wise.
They’re all starving to get more AI and back to the office because their personal fortunes are tied up in those endeavors.

- Comment on Players Have Too Many Options to Spend $80 on a Video Game 1 week ago:
The $10 games were trash in 1982. You’re going to spend 30 on something like Q-bert polygon.com/…/atari-et-ads-commercials-videos-198…
in 2025 Money, that’s $99, assuming you got it used I gave you 50-60
is there even anything wrong if a game only takes your attention for a hundred hours
I don’t think so, but you’re the one who mentioned it :)
but I got hundreds if not thousands of hours of gameplay out of Qbert. Can any of the leading games in the last decade do that?
- Comment on Players Have Too Many Options to Spend $80 on a Video Game 1 week ago:
$10 in q-bert days is like 50-60 now :)
Can any of the leading games in the last decade do that?
Satisfactory, Dyson Sphere project, Factorio, Minecraft, Dreamlight Valley
Arcade games were great because it’s what we had. Sit a kid in front a Q-Bert now and try to get 1000 hours out of it.
Stuff is getting too big, there’s too much emphasis on making it pretty to sell it rather than making it fun, but I don’t know that we could go back to arcade games. I fear our nostalgia is a half-dose of Stockholm’s syndrome.

Ohh neat. 2.7 still says no IP infringement for 3rd parties, but in a closed system, you’re chances of getting kicked on that are slim.

It’s just some circle of life stuff, fertilizer, carbon dioxide, light in, The algae produces more algae. It loads up on a bunch of carbon, some of the bloom dies off, by removing it, you take the carbon with it along with some of the fertilizer components. You add a little more fertilizer in and the algae blooms more and sucks up more carbon dioxide.

All you need do is look at the histories of Playon, Evernote, LastPass, and the hundreds of other titles that have changed their business model to be less free.
If you hear your engine knocking, you should plan for your car to break down.

Their free tier has always been about the same IRRC. ACL’s are basic only. Limited, but still generous users and devices.
If the drop device counts on free or eliminate ACL’s we’d also advocate leaving them.

Everything you said is true.
Also of note, tailscale is making a shit load off money off corporate America. Every one of us who are deciding engineers that dips our toes in goes holy fuck that’s cool and immediately pushes to implement it in a professional capacity.
And, when Tailscale reduces its free offering, it’ll be time to move to Headscale (or elsewhere).
We (most) are not advocating leaving Plex because it is not FOSS. We’re advocating leaving them because they are changing the terms in ways that have repeatedly suggested that it is circling the drain and feasting on its current userbase in a very Google/Apple/Microsoft way.
We’re not getting anything out of people leaving Plex. There’s no stock here, the community is not so small that it needs all the people from Plex. It’s a humanitarian effort, probably a neurodivergent one, but still humanitarian.

They are still going. I would have thought that there will download it for you and let you watch it as long as you can prove you have the login would have gotten them enough legal attention to shut them down. Apparently it’s either a gray area or they’re below the radar.
I think one or two of the smallest properties are still usable in the old desktop app, but nothing that isn’t already serviced by YTDLP.
