This is off topic, but toms hardware is one of a growing list of pages using “ad recovery” services that intentionally break their own page and then blame DNS-level filters for the problem. It’s disingenuous at best and I really don’t think a site willing to employ a such deceptive tactic should be allowed to get page views.

Seconded.

Don’t tell me what to do you’re not my real dad

Legend has it they’re an elite hacker also known as “anonymous”

Reddit, you say…

It’s definitely because of Louis. He’s been doing a lot of work in the right to repair field, as well as this whole fuckin fiasco that Bambu (the 3d printer company) got themselves into by violating the LGPL license with some software. Streisand’ed themselves good on that one.

Ironically, this kind of response is exactly what I’m talking about.

It’s only frothing if you insist that installing tailscale on your grandma’s DSL modem is the best way to share home movies

Also you dont have to be lumped in with the frothing at the mouth Jellyfin users.

At this point if I were to switch from Plex I would go with Emby just because a bunch of sweaty nerds don’t simp over it every time Plex comes up in the news.

This is the same business model that tech “startups” use, just at a vastly accelerated time table. Upend some existing market (in this case, several markets) by burning through cash at an unsustainable rate. Once your customers have been hooked, and/or the alternatives eliminated as competitors, you crank up the prices to try and make the business cashflow positive.

On my parent’s it doesnt render anything at all. Just shows the wallpaper.

Roku has had a big ad on the side for a while now? I’ve been blocking it with DNS.

“Extremism”

This.

Securely sharing is simpler on Plex. I can invite anyone with just an email and they have near instant access to an HTTPS-encrypted service. I don’t have to deal with setting up a VPN, reverse proxy or ACLs (in the case of something like Tailscale).

lmfao the cops charged him for not having a valid boat registration or life vests. amazing.

Because if I’m watching locally I dont need them, and if I’m watching remotely Plex already offers secure remote viewing 'out of the box`. They give every user an SSL certificate and a public accessible URL at app.plex.tv. They also handle secure user authentication. The new price is stupid, but Jellyfin is not a 1:1 replacement.

A gentle reminder that Jellyin more or less requires you to set up a reverse proxy and a secure VPN to use it outside of your home.

Right. By their argument it seems like China can get fucked because what are they gonna do, kidnap him and bring him to China to face charges?
