Anyone investing in a lifetime pass because of these changes is really making a really bad decision. Plex is not going to get better. These shitty decisions will keep coming and eventually it will be something that affects the lifetime users.
I have Plex running but this change means I can no longer access my own shit remotely with paying for their shitty sub.
Thankfully Jellyfin is here. Plex can fuck right off.
It was my go to dynamic DNS provider for years, but after noticing that it would take a good few seconds for my Jellyfin instance (among all the other stuff I self host) to load, I traced the issue down to duck DNS taking too long to resolve.
I switched to using ddclient in docker which updates my own domain’s records on Cloud flare with my dynamic IP. Now things load instantly.
Plex still has more features and is a more mature product. However, the Plex ship is on fire and people should be looking to move away before it sinks.
Fuck Plex.
They are removing it to make money from a subscription instead. You’re making it sound like they are doing something good!
So the media that I host is now no longer streamable when I am outside my home network? The fuck?
That’s my server, my bandwidth, my electricity and they are blocking it?
Until they remove or add something that this tier doesn’t get.
Jellyfin is the future.
I have a domain and it points to SimpleLogin. I then have 400 aliases that all point to a proton email address which I give out to no one. If I don’t like Proton or want to use Proton and Tuta, I can direct my mail to both at the same time. I can also respond as any of the aliases from either mailbox.
SimpleLogin gives me the ability to point all 400 aliases to a new mailbox in minutes. No more going around every website to use my new email address like I did in the past.
Yeah. I have a free account I used for testing. I need to give it another go really. I liked it but it is still not a patch on Google Photos in terms of usability for viewing or finding photos.
Most people are like sheep and just follow the herd.
We have different colours to help differentiate. For example if I have a dentist appointment I know it’s mine as it’s in my colour.
In regards to modifying each other’s calendar. If she has a car service booked in but then needs me to move it, I have the ability to modify her calendar to move it to another date.
I’d like to retain the same ability.
I’ve looked at Immich a few times. I don’t really like self hosting important data as I don’t trust myself to not lose anything!
Thanks for the confirmation! I did a search after posting and found that article.
Do you have any downsides to Proton Calendar? So for your wife’s calendar have you added that into Proton and you can add/modify events?
I wanted to test sharing my calendar with my wife (we use Google which is currently how we share) but you have to have a paid account to share your proton calendar. I’m happy to pay but want to make sure it works before I do!
Just pay for SimpleLogin no? Proton owns SimpleLogin now.
I purchased SimpleLogin before Proton purchased them. I have my own domain configured with all my aliases which all point to a proton email address which I do not give to anyone.
I purposely created my own domain just so I could be flexible in the future and move to another provider if needed.
I looked to see if I could get by replacing Photos with Drive in Proton. Whilst I can upload stuff. Videos greater than 100mb need to be downloaded to be watched. I guess because Google process videos to allow them to be streamed. Sadly a deal breaker for me :(
Download Firefox portable
That’s a name I haven’t heard in a long long time. I thought it died due to it being a privacy nightmare or something. There was some controversy at least.
Same here. Many providers turned off 3G so I either see 4G or 2G. 2G is so slow it may as well not exist.
How do you work that out?
I paid for the app so that I can play media on the go. Now that payment meant nothing and now they want me to pay a monthly fee instead.
Anyone new to Plex who doesn’t want a subscription can only play media when they are at home. Whereas before it was a one time payment.
Jellyfin is the future. Plex is dead to me.
