Yes that’s understood and particularly great, leaving orgs/people to self host. I’m all for it.

My first gut reaction was “Neat, but no thank you” but the more I think about how many clients COULD be using a cloud hosted privacy respecting platform instead of 365, I quickly bit my lip.

He’s been a ludicrous f*ckwit for a decade, are we really that surprised?

Re-investing in a new platform full of tools (Proton suite) isn’t in my opinion a rational answer. My answer is self host vaultwarden, self host your file storage, and choose between Proton and Tuta for mail, and use your own domain name so you can take your email address with you should you move.

In my opinion No-one should ever store any form of personal data implicitly on someone else’s computer.

My entire life is Linux and self hosted, aside from Email. I may get to that one day too. Love my Plex server, even with the more recent baloney the company’s apparently been up to.

I should be using Jellyfin but once I get home from work I don’t want to tinker any more, I just wanna play a game or dick around.

Agree with the message in the video, these companies should be told to pound sand the minute they do a single anti-consumer thing.

Man. I work in IT and I’ve officially reached the point that keeping up with any 1 single thing just enough to not get effed up by something is an impossibility.

Wait what? Mine just renewed!

Got the prompt earlier this week. Haven’t seen any noticeable increase in its DNS requests, but it’s not impossible that the hostnames it’s reaching out to just aren’t in my MANY block lists.
271 blocks today and all the same old- analytics.plex.tv.

Good to know. When I get this prompt at home I’ll be watching my Pihole server quite closely for a while to see for sure.

I don’t disagree at all, but morally and legally speaking if “no” means “no”, I don’t actually see anything wrong with the prompt or the idea itself. If no means “later” or “limit this data”, or even “anonymize this data”, it’s time to revolt.

I agree Jellyfin’s pretty rad and DOES prove what can be done for free, I’ve used both and Plex is a much more “set and forget” and I personally have had more issues with streams breaking/stopping for no reason with Jellyfin- are those probably my fault? Yep, probably borked a setting or misconfigured it- just saying that’s my personal experience.

I’m just one idiot making noises with my meat flaps. I’m no authority.

If we find out “I do not consent” opts out, I’m fine with it. If we find out “I do not consent” leads to a “Close our account” page, it’s time for pitchforks, especially since they recently had a huge sale on lifetime memberships.

Holy #%!@ng sh#%.

Fuck Reddit and all, but old.reddit.com if you MUST go there.

Glad it may just have been me.

Too late, already did

Blew it all away on the last day the API for using a bot to do so still worked. https://www.reddit.com/user/Reygle Profile’s only still “active” is to watch a few places, but I’m never contributing again and I refuse to install the official app and only load the site in Firefox with an ad blocker on mobile.

Yikes- those are all local drives huh? Physically attached to the machine?

Were you using the “Combine storage” function?

Will do.
