Lemmy has become a weird place. You're being downvoted for being 100% correct. I have the same problem, I need Windows to use a similar suite of programs.

Yesterday, I had a similar experience, I was giving information that was 100% correct, and getting downvoted, while the other person was spreading factually false information that fitted the narrative of 'all companies and non FOSS bad', and guess which side the community supported.

Might be time to just go back to Reddit if the lemmy community is just going to actively support and reinforce anything that fits the hivemind narrative that is appearing regardless of truth.

You know what, fuck this, you guys can all go with the narrative of 'plex is cracking down on pirated content and can see what you have on your server'. Have fun.

You're fucking retarded.

I totally agree, but try petabytes, not terabytes, of hosted media. I know of one that has right now over 2 petabytes of content.

"They also responded to me me saying "Plex has been cracking down on Netflix style streaming services for 5 years" but then tell you "Plex isn't cracking down on piracy, you're spreading misinformation!" 🤣"

Are you mentally retarded or something? Selling access to your server is against the terms of service you agreed to when you installed the software. It has been in their ToS since Day 1. That isn't cracking down on piracy, it is upholding their ToS that allows their software to exist in a legally grey space.

Sounds to me like you were selling access to your server and now you're butt hurt.

Okay, someone please help me understand as I genuinely want to.

I fully understand gender neutral (I am bringing up my own children to not restrict their behaviour and personalities due to gender norms because of the the sex they were assigned at birth), I understand being born 'male' but feeling more like the societal definition of a 'girl' in terms of both physical and social characteristics. I understand the difference between sex and gender.

I understand and believe that our body is our own and if somebody wants to change their body they should be able to do so as they see fit, including changing it to meet the societal norms in terms of appearance of another sex.

But here is what I don't fully grasp (but would like to) - why is it wrong to say that those born with a biologically male body should go to the male ward in a hospital? Isn't that where they would receive the best treatment for themselves? Aren't gender pronouns useful when distinguishing between biological differences in the medical field?

I don't mean any offense to anybody with these questions. I fully support everyone's right to identify as anywhere on the spectrum of the social construct of gender. Also, if there is a more suitable community for me to ask these questions in, please do share it.

Whoopee for you. While I have all the respect in the world for the Jellyfin devs (I have been running JF alongside Plex since early 2019), it is nowhere near as feature rich as Plex, and lacks even some pretty basic features on many of it's clients.

If you want a direct play experience on your PC, then sure, Jellyfin server, plus a couple of plug-ins, and Jellyfin Media Player can give an adequate experience. If you want SW encoding (urghhh) then it works well, one directional HW encoding is a pain in the ass, and two directional HW encoding is even more of a pain the ass to get right. JF doesn't even provide you with a way to reliably know what encoding is going on. Their devs genuinely expect the average user to sift through mpeg logs looking for certain words in certain places, which is poorly documented (if you can even count one comment by a JF dev on Reddit as documentation). 99.9% of people don't even know what a log is.

If you want to share outside your home, JF requires a user to either open a bunch of ports to public facing internet (which the average person is stupid enough to do) and hand out their home ip address, or set up a reverse proxy. Again, the vast majority of people wouldn't know where to start.

Should Plex disappear tomorrow as a way to play your personal video library across your own devices, then yes, JF could work as a substitute. Emby would be a closer substitute, however.

You have made the move to JF based on what you think Plex will do in the future, which does not equal 'Plex is cracking down on piracy' (present simple tense). Hence, you were disingenuously spreading nonsense and misinformation.

Enjoy JF.

It's also nonsense.

Fellow reddit news user here. It's pretty sad, I wonder how many hours I've spent on that app. All things come to an end, I suppose.

This looks very, very interesting. Thanks for sharing.

Stop fear mongering. I guess this account is from a Russian troll farm or something. Well, fuck you, Russia.

Okay, so I have actually lived in Korea for 15 years, and am into self hosting, servers for media, etc.

What I can tell you is, you are fucked. Peering to anywhere other than Japan is a nightmare.

Give up and build your own server in your own home. No amount of peering tricks or CDNs will help you.

The best you'll get in terms of connections to major service providers is hosting in Dallas, which should get you around 100mbps.

Actually, I'm finding the service to be patchy at best.

Did you enable it in the client on the device? I found that step not very clear in the docs.

You sound like a complete cunt.

So sick of people saying stuff like this. Linux blah blah blah. Linux is not suitable for the vast majority of business and home users due to software incompatibility. People don't want to mess around with wine or whatever else just to use photoshop or word.

This guy is a sick POS.

Meanwhile, I think I'll have to switch instances

Sounds like a good idea.
