Oh no a paid, proprietary, piece of shit software does something shitty. Who could’ve ever saw this coming?!

I’ve said it for years anytime anyone mentioned running a Plex server. As soon as you install that on your server or your homelab it’s no longer your server. Proprietary software is malware

I usually use podman

I’ve said it for years that Plex is shit because of their license and the fact that you have no control everyone said no it’s fine it’s my media fucking look at it now

I got one. It’s just too slow for what I need and can’t do webrtc because of a hardware limitation.

Already got one of those but thanks

welp… that’s $200 gone. I’ma see if I can get a refund

Oooh this seems like a really good value

Glad to see you posted here and not just reddit.

Yeah I’m not either that’s not the point. The point is using an alternative that is open and can be self hosted.

I community dedicated and in love with the idea of self hosting their own software yet avoid a self hosted alternative to a hostile service…

I actually don’t think anyone in the subreddit is actually self hosting anything and if they are the irony is heavier than actual iron.
