Yeah, exactly. My options are roughly: I find a working server, or make my own with blackjack and hookers. And give my friends a free invite.

If you watch on your TV/streaming stick in a browser you get exactly zero support for any picture-enhansements. Not to mention remote controls etc. It can be dealt with but not ideal.

Needed a cracked version for Android. I’d pay them 5$ or whatever, but they insisted on a ludicrous subscription. There’s a very limited TV support. Web app is glitchy.

We switched from Plex to emby and the difference is night and day.

I’d pay for Netflix if they stopped removing and geolocking content. As it is, I can legally acquire half of the content I want to watch. In order to get all of it, I need a vpn to the default country a valid default country credit card, and a subscription to 5 services. I’ll rather set up a seedbox with jellyfin than play their dumb games. But why wouldn’t I pay someone to just do it for many of us instead? This labor scales very well.

bingo. Why is it such a difficult concept. It makes sense to centralize work, that’s it.

looks like you should stop talking to that family of yours

How do I know the government isn’t spying on me, cuz they could totally go and compromise all root certificates, thus RIP https.

Oh, and pardon, who the heck does still use http without the s?

no, lemme instead ask a question about reddit vs lemmy!

you’ve seen nothing. Tomorrow it’s gonna be all over lemmy again “hello I’m a refugee, how is lemmy profitable without ads?”, or “admins should make sure we have this thing X like on reddit”

I’m now blocking everyone talking about reddit. enough is enough.

how informed do you have to be to ask this kind of question?

find a paid plexshare. Cheaper than Netflix, has everything, no weekends wasted on being a devops

p.s. sorry I didn’t look where I’m posting. I’ma open notselfhosted
