  • Is Plex really Self Hosting?

    Jump

  • It’s like a baby step on the self hosting journey. Not as pure as Jellyfin but still a little better than Netflix. I paid for a Plex lifetime pass years ago, when they were still producing cool updates like DVR functionality for OTA broadcasts. I still run it but now Jellyfin is running alongside it with the intent of dropping Plex soon.

    Jump

  • I have it set up on my own home server. Before that, I had it set up on individual PCs. It's super easy. I guess you mean public instances. I've never used one because it is so easy to set up for yourself.

  • Plex increasing Lifetime Plex Pass cost to whopping $750

    Jump

  • Or maybe they want monthly/annual/whatever subscribers, not lifetime, and so they're making the lifetime pass prohibitively expensive. I have a lifetime pass I purchased a few years ago but after running Jellyfin alongside Plex for a few months, I don't think I could recommend Plex to anyone who simply wants to host their own media.

  • SearXNG. I will never understand why it doesn’t get used more. It is so easy to set up.

  • A 45,000-person labor strike at Samsung's memory chip plants could throw a wrench into the AI boom | Fortune

  • It’ll either hurt Samsung or employees will get their fair share. I’m fine with either outcome. But also, fuck AI.

  • Good! Fight for your rights! Fuck AI!

  • Plex’s price hikes prove I was right to switch to Jellyfin

    Jump

  • Purchasing is an opt in too. I use both but paid for a Plex lifetime pass almost 10 years ago. It was easier to set up remote access. Setting up a server was new to me at the time so anything I could find that made it easier was worth it. I also bought an unRAID lifetime pass for the same reason (among other reasons).

  • Malware? You say you’re sharing the truth but make such claims without proof.

  • I’m not sure. I’ve always wanted something like Plex but for games.

  • What about Sunshine and Moonlight? This is something I’ve been mildly interested in for a while but never took a deep dive.

  • Thinkcentre Tiny, Dell Optiplex Micro, or HP ProDesk Mini. Prices have gone up the last few months but they’re still a solid value. Most sellers ship pretty quick these days.

  • With the release of Ubutnu 26.04, a reminder of what they used to stand for.

    Jump

  • That was peak Ubuntu for me. I actually do mostly like where Gnome ended up but it just felt so new and fresh at the time. Until 2002, I had only ever used Windows and old Macs. When I saw what FOSS could be and Ubuntu then made it really easy, my mind was blown.

  • Snaps are the big one. I know Pro is free for the average users but imagine if they didn't put security updates for the universe repos behind that sign up? I understand that they didn't get those updates before Pro but imagine if they just gave those updates to all users. I still think it is one of the great all time distros. I just think their focus is more on enterprise than on the average user and I am nostalgic for those early days.

    Jump

  • I stubbornly stuck with it until last year. I'd still recommend it to a new Linux user if they weren't fans of Mint but I feel like Mint has more of that old Ubuntu spirit. Ubuntu is one of the greatest distros ever in my opinion, and I get that Canonical is a business and has to make money, but what if they had maintained that focus on Linux for human beings.

  • The gaming industry turned its back on gamers a long time ago by making it difficult to truly own a game. It's no wonder people want to go back and play old games that don't rely on a server somewhere that could be shutdown at any point.

  • Just got my first thinkpad today!

    Jump

  • Is that XFCE and if so, how do you like it with touchscreen and trackpad gestures? In my experience, Gnome is best for that use. If you like Mint, maybe give Debian with Gnome a shot. If you want to explore outside of the Debian tree, maybe Fedora Workstation.
