And going electric makes it all a non-issue.

Easier to upgrade, given, but most of the electric versions are on slightly oversized golf cart drivetrains with lead acid batteries.

I’ve seen a few YouTubers unbox them.

but talk about 2A rights all the time.

Most of the 2A talks come from people who want to start evil corporations.

Pay enough for them to afford two kids, a house and a car without dual-income and don’t have them work so many hours they can’t enjoy them.

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.

Breaks their TOS. My work forever, might get you shut down.

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.

sigh take your upvote

Fantastic, I don’t think I’ve ever seen you give on anything before.

This is cool, are you incapable of not getting the last word in? My schedule just opened up today and man, I’ve got all day.

Nice gaslight you got there. You do you man keep trolling.

As I said gentry, you do you.

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.

LOL

Hope for the best, plan for the worst,

or don’t plan, you do you!

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.

Using something to whitelist the firewall doesn’t require any client changes. For the less technically competent it could be as simple as setting their TV’s web browser to default to the white list page.

Haproxy could be convinced to whitelist people based on DNS entries. Each one of your remote consumers could set DNS to their house and once a day HA proxy would rewrite itself to match those addresses. If they’re coming in from a fixed client, The DNS would white list and let them in, If they failed the IP check they would pop a login so you could still use the service via the web.

It’s a hassle,It’s nowhere near as elegant is what plex is doing but without a data center…

They really could stand to add TOTP to the clients and server. I wonder if they’re open to pull requests. It can’t be that hard to add the option to the server than the clients can pick it up whenever they get around to it.

This change, is absolutely benign for the vast majority. Which means it’s a desperate grab to make more money which will ultimately fail.

Check out the trend over time.

They removed plugins when it was a threat to them controlling their ecosystem, people were using them to pull from YouTube and anime sources directly. They were basically turning them into Kodi, but with benefits

They did the same thing with offline resharing. You used to be able to sync a bunch of crap to your phone, go on vacation and share it with your family from your phone.

Then they started obnoxiously tracking you under the guise that you could see what your friends were watching, but they changed their terms so they could sell your watch data to third parties.

Then they started putting ads into free remote watch

Now there’s no more free remote watch.

As you said, this change is unlikely to make a big difference for anybody, so it’s unlikely for them to make any serious money from it.

My personal guess is, they’re sitting on a fuck ton of venture capital promises and those bills are coming due with the market becoming questionable.

They’ve done everything to the free crowd to increase revenue. If they are truly cash strapped, the next logical thing is to get all these people with lifetime passes to buy in again but on a subscription basis. That means they’re either going to abandon the lifetime product like playon did, or find some other way to force everyone to pay monthly to watch their own content.

Nobody seen anybody needs to switch to jellyfin but you’re going to need a backup plan because inside of the next year or two chances are Plex is not going to be recognizable to you.

You could throw Authelia or HAProxy in front of it.

You could do a port knocking daemon.

Tailcale is available and free on half a dozen different video viewing devices.

There’s about a million ways to skin that.

Also, keep in mind, it was a Plex security vulnerability In a lastpass admins home box that caused their asses to get leaked.

None of this shit deserves to be openly hosted online
