9 monthsPlex wants us to log into their servers to watch content we’re hosting ourselves.
I hate Plex as much as the next Jellyfin user but you can just whitelist your local network, although people who understand that aren’t the target audience are they? …

9 monthsI would buy a G5 every few years until the end of time if they still made them. Profit clearly isn’t the driving motivator of the post capitalist world we inhabit.
And what exactly will you replace your logitech stuff with? they’re all going down this path now.

Talk to e-waste recyclers and see if they have contact details for anyone buying their office PCs. Businesses don’t give a fuck, these things are going straight in the bin.
You could attempt to buy from them directly but there’s a solid chance they already have someone buying in bulk and don’t want to sell single items to the public.

9 monthsunforced? I’m sure it will be unique and hilarious as usual.
forced? governments around the world want social media platforms to be able to identify users and anonymity is a core aspect of reddit. the second they require a way to link your account with your person they will see a similar exodus, unfortunately it will have about the same impact as the API drama because the majority of people don’t fucking care.
no, the auth to use it at all … internet goes down and you can’t watch your own movies on your own network. peak self hosting.
the hero we deserve.
