I’ve not using a free streaming site for years, but when I did they were bags of shite. Buffering, unavailable, etc. There are apps that aggregate the various sites that try and find a wanted show on multiple sites, but they weren’t much better.

I see self-hosted streaming as just an extension of your “save videos to a storage drive” option. We are just extending the access of that to where its wanted.

Pretty much. Personally, I spun up another VM and had the two running alongside each other for a few weeks. Doing it this way allows you to split the work. First get the base server up and running, do some testing and get familiar, then migrate a client.

It took more effort to get family to switch their client than it did to do the server.

Why? Plex was one of the original self hosted streaming platforms and for a long time was pretty much the only option. We have more options now, and those still on Plex, I imagine, are because they don’t have the time or capacity to perform a migration. So they stick with what they’ve got until it breaks.

Maybe this will be the one that breaks it.

I was a Plex holdout until 3 months ago. I wanted off Plex for the last 2 years but just never had the time.

For those waiting, don’t be like me, it’s easier than you think.

NUT server

Sigh, I knew you were trolling, but tried not to jump to conclusions. Quick look at your profile and I see you are having several simultaneous bad-faith arguments on multiple threads. I feel stupid for falling for it. Will block and move on.

Everything

Everything? Like everything?

How can anyone have a discussion if you blanket the world in a single argument.

Edit: There are some questionable (more than that, but trying to be polite) surrogate practices in post-soviet countries such as Ukraine/Georgia.

Where I’m from surrogate for financial gain is illegal, and where I’m currently living surrogacy is banned entirely.

What should prevent something like this from occurring in the first place, is ethics, not capitalism. Sure, I agree that any large enterprise in a capitalist environment would be influenced by capitalist tendencies, but the same decisions could be made in a socialist world. That is what makes me say “its not capitalism”, as these decisions could be made for a variety of reasons and in this case it doesn’t look to be financially motivated. It may become financially motivated down the line, but you can’t blame the economic system at the time.

I wasn’t accusing you directly, and this is social media, not a white paper. The point being that it is easy to just paint “capitalist” on everything and argue how it is bad, however that is a lazy rhetoric and instead feels like just being cynical and fault-finding for the sake of it.

Neither the meme itself or the article it is referring, mention financial gain as the motivator.

I am cynical of capitalism as much as the other, but each story/article should be discussed in good faith with evidence to corroborate any accusation of cause. In this case, I don’t agree capitalism is the cause, and if you do, I’m open to discussion if its not in bad-faith.

Your example includes the transfer of wealth in the story and yes I agree it’s likely the driving force behind the event.

This OP doesn’t have the same pointy capitalist part. It is only being assumed so. I’m not oblivious to the type of community this is but the blind hatred of capitalism is just that. Blind.

It’s an ethical judgement, not capitalist

I guess if you assume the worst in people you can make any story fit any narrative.

It’s not. It has nothing to do with capitalism. It’s some other horror.

Wow the comments on this are wild. The complete lack of empathy on Twitter is astounding.

I don’t think Crowdstrike are nearly as large as half.

Cloudflare have a large international network. Perhaps some users could access sites when coming from another region

Crowdstrike. I don’t think that fits the “single point of failure” part.

Oh this triggers me. There have been multiple good suggestions for Firefox in the past that are closed with nofix as “this can be provided by the community as an add-on”. Yet they shove the crappiest crap into the main browser now.

I was looking at this yesterday. If you actually go and look at the results for your domain, it’s likely that it will only show you the subscription free details and none of the recent ones

It’s news because in American culture having a gay president would be incredibly progressive.

Edit: he’s young and good looking too :)

I’ve read multiple times that no vulnerability has ever been found, so I’m interested in knowing more about this.

I was disappointed gitea changed their default theme from green to blue.

And they actually removed the green theme altogether so it was a forced change.
