This is kind of the best way, the wife vpns to there to watch lots of it because the us one sucks.

WTF that is bull

Ok that is good to hear!

So is the auth needed to set up your plex in the first place? It has been forever sence I used it.

Jellyfin I don’t have to update if I don’t want to. Jellyfin can’t force me to update by taking a function I currently have away or force my to pay to keep using it the way I currently am. With open code I can fork it and keep it at the version I want if I choose.

Just asking a question looking for answers, not a not. Cheers mate.

I am curious as to why people thing Plex is self hosting if Plex can change how your server functions? I have never personally considered it self hosting but do others still think it is?

I look at it this way, if I made a copy of this work irl would the person who made it go without their needs met? If I bought it IRL already then it is always fine IMO. If it is a independent person I try to buy it in a way that they get most or all the money and I get files that are not DRM. It really a case by case thing. Like I will never give Nintendo or Disney any money ever again so I have to find ways to get what I want most of the time it is second hand or pirating it.

I would see what you could vibe code or just check if Linux can just do the automation your looking for built in. It depends on the desktop environment but I know KDE is very powerful if you are willing to put in the time.

I have it for free in my RSS reader. https://www.404media.co/rss/

While not exclusive privacy news 404 media covers and uncovers lots of tech privacy news. Lots of other news/podcasts reference them.

I did, Manjaro Linux on a laptop that started on windows 8. I did have meny teacher get upset I was not using the programs they recommend. I did CIT with a minor in web dev and design. It was not always easy but I feel it was worth it when my Uni used proctorio to do testing remote. Protorio is basically a virus or almost a rootkit. I was able to do my testing in-person because I didn’t own a windows or Mac computer.

Would you looks at that brave doing something crazy again.
