Couldn't happen to anyone that doesn't masturbate on their lunch break.

What if we use a Visual Basic UI to hack the IP address by netmask?
I asked my magic 8 ball about this and it said "Outlook not so good"
A big part of the appeal with Plex is that you can run a server and friends can sign up for a FREE account and stream remotely. When you take this away, you're going to just kneecap the whole offering. This is such an arrogant move from Plex: they are thinking that when this change goes live they will get a flood of subscriptions. The more likely outcome is they will get a few subscriptions and a lot more angry and frustrated people that walk away.
I don't think they necessarily have to get rid of it, it's just that you can't support a company ALONE from a one time infusion.
One of the problems with America is if you ask people on the street who's the happiest country in the world, a good chunk will answer America and not believe this result. I've always said the problem with being #1 (or thinking you are) is that you don't work very hard to improve.
One metric America leads the world in: self-delusion regarding its own performance in every area. How many people say America leads in math, science, health? Don't get me wrong, in a lot of categories the US is top 20, but very few where we actually are #1. Until this attitude is fixed, we're not going to see real improvement. RAH RAH RAH USA #1 is nice to whip up a crowd at a rally, but it's not good for positive ongoing change.
I keep a Jellyfin instance running as a hedge. Here's the thing with Plex (and actually a lot of companies set up similarly): those "lifetime" memberships are a trap. Think about it: Plex gets your money ONCE but they have ongoing expenses. Sooner or later, they'll have spent every single cent made by a lifetime membership unless they either get more folks OR squeeze everyone a bit more.
Once they started adding their own shows and making strange UI decisions, I could sense the end was coming. A move like this brings it up fast. Jellyfin is not nearly as good as Plex in a lot of ways, but it's really Open Source.
Anyway, a lot of rambling, but in short: when there is a "lifetime" subscription, watch out!
Does anyone else get the heebies with Mark Rober? There's something a little off about his smile and overall presence.
Even better, maybe it will support Docker.
Well, if they manage to get it working on Android I'll be really impressed.
Yeah, but if you ignore all that stuff and think about it for a little bit, maybe they ARE out there fighting for your interests. Besides, some of those facts might have been made up by a Democrat, just like climate change. Not even a day ago my local Fox affiliate said America's doing better than ever, which is all the proof I need. Looking forward to 4 more years of Trump!!!
