- Comment on Is lemm.we actually shutting down? 3 weeks ago:
The people that are most willing to help are generally the least likely to help, especially when it comes to content moderation.
- Comment on Catbox.moe got screwed 😿 3 weeks ago:
This is not only incorrect (this particular law doesn’t apply here), but I can easily prove it beyond any shadow of a doubt.
backpage.com was shutdown despite their willingness to comply with the law because they were found to “facilitate” CSAM. Omegle was also temporarily shutdown for the same reasons. There have also been quite literally dozens of prosecutions of website admins on the dark web for offering a platform for CSAM despite them arguing in court that they had no control over what their users uploaded and quickly moderated the content when discovered. In the end none of it matters–as a provider of a service you are required to make it difficult to share CSAM, not just comply with the law when someone catches you with your pants down.
It bedevils me that people are so laissez-faire about literal fucking CP–AI generated or not.
And in spite of literally all of that, none of this has anything to do with US law. It’s Patron policy. They don’t want to service someone who constantly has issues with CSAM, and they have every right not to offer their services to catbox.
- Comment on Catbox.moe got screwed 😿 3 weeks ago:
Ultimately, yes, I think they are.
There’s no opinion to be had. You are absolutely morally and legally responsible for what your users upload. Period.
- Comment on Why selfhosted social media protocols are hated ? 3 weeks ago:
They’re not hated. They’re very fragmented and confusing for the layman.
- Comment on Catbox.moe got screwed 😿 3 weeks ago:
The photos perfectly elaborate, though… They didn’t really get screwed, someone uploaded “animated child sexual abuse photos.” Which is not only illegal but against the TOS of Patreon.
Not really sure how this equates to them “being screwed.” They’re responsible for what people upload to their host which is why public uploads like this without restriction aren’t a great idea.
- Comment on Plex now will SELL your personal data 4 weeks ago:
Also you can literally opt out of the data sharing
For now. It’s always for now. You used to be able to opt out of Google data sharing too. And Reddit’s. And Microsoft’s. And Apple’s. And your Credit Cards… The list goes on and on and on and on and on.
Soon as a large company realizes that they can vertically increase revenue by selling your data it ceases being an option. A realization that Plex will very soon learn because they’ve begun to sell data “optionally” for now. Then by next year, or maybe even the year after that it’ll no longer be optional.
It always goes this way. Always. I can’t even think of a single antithetical example.
- Comment on Plex now will SELL your personal data 4 weeks ago:
That doesn’t many any sense, because I just specifically told you that it doesn’t matter to anyone but you whether or not you use Jellyfin… If it mattered to me, then yeah, sure. I’d be a zealot. But I don’t give a shit what you personally use.
Also, pointing out the fact that Jellyfin is pretty indisputably better for people in this specific space isn’t zealotry. It’s just good common sense.
- Comment on Plex now will SELL your personal data 4 weeks ago:
Mmmmm gross.
I’ll leave you with this, though. Shit like this is all goalposts. For now it’s just “their” content and not yours. But in 12 months it’s gonna be all content. And what excuse will you make for them, then?
- Comment on Plex now will SELL your personal data 4 weeks ago:
Not sure if you understand this or not, but you using, or not using jellyfin doesn’t affect anyone but you. 🤷♂️
If you don’t wanna use it, then don’t use it. You’re still wrong, but that’s up to you lil buddy.
- Comment on Plex now will SELL your personal data 4 weeks ago:
And that makes a difference to you?
- Comment on Plex now will SELL your personal data 4 weeks ago:
Seeing the replies in this thread it kinda makes me wonder what Plex actually has to do for these zealots to quit using their platform.
Like do they literally have to steal naked pictures of you and pass them around the office? Like wtf.
- Comment on Plex now will SELL your personal data 4 weeks ago:
Chromecast. Regular is cheap, and grab the 4K one if you wanna stream higher quality movies. Cost you less than $100.
- Comment on Syncthing alternatives 4 weeks ago:
You can set it up as a service to monitor a remote directory. I have it running using nssm on windows on my seedbox. I’ll torrent something, give it a while and boom, it’s on my NAS without doing anything.
Same concept here. So yeah, set it once, and forget about it.
- Comment on Syncthing alternatives 4 weeks ago:
rclone.
- Comment on What's your recommendation for a small NAS? 4 weeks ago:
DS223 is a fine little machine. Nothing exceptional, but not bad by any means.
- Comment on Alternatives to MZLA Pocket? 5 weeks ago:
That sucks, I immediately wanted it. :(
- Comment on Self-hosting is having a moment. Ethan Sholly knows why. 5 weeks ago:
generally is less hands-on for transcoding.
Yeah, I’m not gonna give you that one. It’s a single option that you toggle. Wanna use your nvidia GPU? Enable NVENC. AMD gpu/cpu? AMF. Intel CPU? QSV.
Really not that hard…
- Comment on Self-hosting is having a moment. Ethan Sholly knows why. 5 weeks ago:
Because why run one server for all your needs when you can double up, right? /s
- Comment on Self-hosting is having a moment. Ethan Sholly knows why. 5 weeks ago:
I try to explain this to the plex cultists and they usually have one of two responses;
- “Why would I be without internet?”
- “How is that helpful?”
Takes every ounce of willpower I have to not eye roll.
- Comment on Self-hosting is having a moment. Ethan Sholly knows why. 5 weeks ago:
I would say there’s no value in assigning such a tight definition on self-hosting–in saying that you must use your own hardware and have it on premise.
I would define selfhost as setting up software/hardware to work for you, when turn-key solutions exist because of one reason or another.
Netflix exists. But we selfhost Jellyfin. Doesn’t matter if its not on our hardware or not. What matters is that we’re not using Netflix.
- Comment on Self-hosting is having a moment. Ethan Sholly knows why. 5 weeks ago:
Escaping vendor lock-in. It’s why people hate the cloud when it used to be the answer for everything. You make a good product that can only be used with your hardware/software, whatever, and people run from that shit because it’s abused more often than not.
Apple is the biggest example of this. Synology is getting worse and worse. Plex not far behind either.
- Comment on I'm guilty of not reading the f..ing documentation 5 weeks ago:
You got a nice guttural laugh outta me for that one.
- Comment on I'm guilty of not reading the f..ing documentation 5 weeks ago:
I mean, it’s technical documentation. There’s a limit to how exciting it can be. lol.
- Comment on getting 522 error Cloudflaired + Jellyfin + fail2ban 5 weeks ago:
Correct. Mine is ‘jelly.domain.com’ which bidirectionally forwards traffic between my domain and my home server.
- Comment on I'm guilty of not reading the f..ing documentation 5 weeks ago:
If documentation is written in a readable and confluent way, RTFM isn’t such a big deal. The issue comes with overly draconian and non-confluent documentation.
- Comment on getting 522 error Cloudflaired + Jellyfin + fail2ban 5 weeks ago:
I always advocate for HTTPS. I run a caddy proxy and sidestep cloudflare all-together.
- Comment on getting 522 error Cloudflaired + Jellyfin + fail2ban 5 weeks ago:
Port 8096 is the default HTTP protocol port, and you’re trying to access it via HTTPS. Do you have certificates installed and available for your jellyfin instance? If not, it’s very likely Cloudflare won’t route it correctly.
I’m not saying this is your specific issue, but it’ll be the one after you fix this one at least. You may need to mess with the cloudflare “current encryption mode” to get this to work.
- Comment on Self-Host Weekly (16 May 2025) 1 month ago:
Because there are hot self-hosts in your area.
- Comment on Fake reviews on Play Store by Plex staff 1 month ago:
Am I not allowed to tell people I like the beer I brew?
That’s not really what he’s doing though. It would be like if you pretended to be a customer and drink your own beer in front of actual customers and were like “WOW! This beer is super good! The guy who made it has a really big dick!”
It’s just shitty to do because it’s sheistery as fuck.
Plex employees totally have the right to review Plex in the store. But they should be expected to advertise that they work for Plex…
