Clever, but very hands on

I think the joke of the ghost costume as a white sheet has been lost.

I rolled back. It was fairly easy and now the downloads work again.

A lot of the angst about the server requirements for Plex pass really have to stretch the truth to become a victim. It only affects you if you were using it for free, in which case 🤷, it was free, it’s hard to feel bad about it.

The only thing I’m disappointed in is the free mobile streaming comes at the same time they released the new broken app. When they get around to fixing the app I’ll be able to tell my friends they can now use the app. The server owner paying once is much better than every person paying for the app.

It’s inappropriate because you’re not allowed to review your own companies software, let alone do so without declaring as such.

If he was forthcoming in his review, it would have been to obvious that it’s a breach of the ToS. Workers are not permitted to review apps made by their own company.

This is 100% a shady review.

And better hardware means there is no longer a requirement to optimise.

What was “if we don’t make this code more efficient, it won’t run on modern computers”, turned into “we don’t need to make this code efficient because modern computers will be able to run it”

Was that a ccna certification? I’ve heard they are quite strict on home exam conditions

They are providing extra service. Using Plex on mobile is now free for everyone, which is a huge step forward. It’s not a bad trade off for server owners to require Plex pass for remote viewing (which is only necessary if you’re not using a VPN like tailscale for free remote viewing).

I don’t get why people are freaking out over a one off fee to unlock something that has running costs for Plex, which itself isn’t necessary if you just opt for a free VPN client like tailscale.

OP couldn’t comprehend an email, and when everyone tried to reassure them that nothing for them has changed they doubled down. The closest thing to justification I can figure is “all my clients are borderline illiterate as well and it upset them”.

How in the world could you be upset that a product you already paid for is not providing that specific feature for free anymore. They’ve even made the phone software free!

How many people with a folder full of media also know how to safety expose a home server to the internet? It would be less than 1%.

Meanwhile, you don’t need network engineer levels of knowledge to run Plex for remote access. You download the software, choose the folder, and send your friends a share link.

What’s the ffxiv reference here?

Anubis is from Egyptian mythology.

Yea. I’m sure they will be humbled like the people of North Korea, who think their supernatural leader invented hamburgers and the electric guitar.

After his own offer to rescue the children was turned down

Lol

“The best way to run arch is to have a second non-arch computer at all times”

I think that sums it up

I’ve got a couple of 10TB HDDs. Is that enough?

What’s the file size on that?

But they only didn’t happen because you stayed cautious. Now your younger self will throw caution to the wind and suffer the consequences.

I’m not kidding, one time I saw that and the first result was back to that thread where the only answer was to Google it.
