- Comment on Improve very slow library scans on Jellyfin 10.11 / 12 on spinning media 2 days ago:
Jellyfin expects you to actually host it yourself, instead of baking in a proxy and selling you the service.
There are plenty of free subdomain providers, and let’s encrypt gives out free certs.
If you’re not hosting through a VPN you should consider those a requirement so you’re not sending an unencrypted password to your jellyfin instance over the internet. Regardless of your ISP situation…
- Comment on GOG confirm they are working towards GOG Galaxy on Linux 5 days ago:
I hear about the email a while ago, didn’t hear the response, and wasn’t sure if there was more to it.
“I also recognize that placing two such runes next to each other could create an unfortunate association with symbols used by the Nazi regime. This was noticed before distribution, and out of respect for local sensitivities, the material was not sent to the German community.”
But, this is the bit that kills me, I could buy “Our internet didn’t realize how badly those rendered on certain mail clients.”
But the fact that they noticed and sent it is insane.
Kinda wish I didnt just re-buy FO3 and NV a bit ago.

Fuck I need more context don’t do this to me.
I remember CDPR saying something like “the future includes trans people, fucking deal with it.” After getting shit on about art in cyberpunk.
Wtf?

- Comment on That's all folks, Plex is starting to charge for sharing 1 year ago:
HD/4K video streams eat bandwidth like a motherfucker. Gonna have to find some rich hobbiests for that.
I guess someone could start a nonprofit but you’re more likely to do that for the developers themselves first.

Wouldn’t that count as a VPN, albeit one run on someone else’s machine?
- Comment on That's all folks, Plex is starting to charge for sharing 1 year ago:
No I understand the benefits of open source software but this isn’t just a feature you can code in. Without portfords to the server, a VPN, or a reverse proxy, jellyfin would have to start hosting a service.
Is it technically feasible? I guess but seems like its both out of scope and not in the interest of the developers since the last thing they want probably want to get caught in is hosting streaming relays for everyone free of charge.
- Comment on That's all folks, Plex is starting to charge for sharing 1 year ago:
I prefer a VPN for this sorta thing because its a bit more hardened.
Nginx is a good reverse proxy for my publicly available hosts.

Oh yeah no you can rent out a vps and use it as a VPN/router appliance. I’ve done that before for other project, just figured it seemed a lil overkill here.

People are saying switch to jellyfin, which I’m all for. But you’re expecting a service which will make remote access easy like Plex ur kinda fucked.
I mean if have to set up wireguard or whatever for Jellyfin you could just do the same for Plex?
Again go to jellyfin either way, proprietary software can suck my gurl cawk, but either way you need a VPN or open ports.
