News broke on this a few months ago, and I jumped ship. Their failed music app is another reason I ditched their ecosystem. Kept crashing; music would pause mid-song; couldn’t play downloaded music offline without a data connection.
Video service had such poor title coverage and nothing compelling for the price. As many others have said, the value proposition didn’t work. Enshittification is in full swing. Sail the high seas.
I’m pleased with activityPub beginning to make “protocols not platforms” a reality.
I can’t believe its already been almost thirty years since SSH was created! Time to further harden your servers and clients by removing (now) insecure KEX algos.
Didn’t the show runner say that the dumb public was to blame for the failure of the show?
Edit: he blamed dumb Americans.
Baginski said, “When a series is made for a huge mass of viewers, with different experiences, from different parts of the world, and a large part of them are Americans, these simplifications not only make sense, they are necessary.”
Its still on Google Play for now
I feel you about coming home to code. You have my permission to tell rc to eff off
The CLI process was pretty smooth for me, and afterward just works. I mean no offense when I say I didn’t expect a Linux user to balk at using CLI. A GUI would be nice, I suppose, but I like the way rclone works for me.
The eSafety commissioner, Julie Inman Grant, has proposed cloud and messaging service providers should detect and remove known child abuse material and pro-terror material “where technically feasible” – as well as disrupt and deter new material of that nature.
The eSafety regulator has stressed in an associated discussion paper it “does not advocate building in weaknesses or back doors to undermine privacy and security on end-to-end encrypted services”.
I so love these magic wand-waving legislators. “Spy on your users and control what they do on your encrypted platform, but in a way that doesn’t break encryption or violate privacy…”
I second the recommendation for lineage OS. I’ve been using it since 2011 with my Nexus S (when it was Cyanogen). Works, defaults to de-googled, but easy to install gapps at the same time (follow instructions because it needs to be done before first boot).
I’ll never run a stock ROM again if I can help it, and so far…
Kodi has made my setup dead-simple: File server running on TrueNAS serving my library over SMB/CIFS and Kodi does all the “management” on the client side (which really is just my watch progress and metadata), so my server is just a dumb box of disks in RaidZ1. I have only one client, and as for configuration, I just created two media objects in Kodi: TV and Movies, and the rest is default other than the unrelated IGAL setup.
I like what I read about the arr’s and Jellyfin, but until my current setup feels cumbersome or insufficient, I’m sticking with it.
Good answer. I jumped ship when they started ramming Plex Pass and required login down my throat, but I had been having issues with their app and server for about year before I switched. Glad you’re getting value from them!
Adding my obligatory “why Plex over Kodi?” comment.
Kodi only needs file access, and handles video files more gracefully, even if you keep the filenames as downloaded. Includes sub search addons, all the same meta features that Plex does (watch history, resume from where you left off, ratings, cast and crew, trivia, trailers), and is free and open. Plus, no forced upgrades of server or client app or phone home.
But either way, have fun building out your storage!
+1 for TrueNAS
I’ve been running one for almost ten years since FreeNAS v.9.x. Will never go back to hardware RAID for home use.
You’re forgetting that with the microchips in vaccines, they can control our thoughts, so most of the participants don’t need to be willing or aware. Cuts it down to just a few people in control of the 5G vaccine chip program.
You’re welcome.
Safe bet.
Historically, even the “lottery winning” successful artists got such bad deals. The Beatles (famously, I thought, but I’m having trouble finding a source today…) received one penny for every dollar earned, but a fraction of that penny was held back for marketing, and another, and another…

They pay rights holders, who supposedly pay artists.
rsync even supports Alien vs Predator? What doesn’t rsync do???
Agree. Bad precedent. Links are how the internet works. Charging Paying to link is absurd.
Tmux is also good for long operations, as tmux is running as a server and you can close the terminal while tmux chugs away. Others can also connect to the tmux session through ssh and share screens.
