None of Jellyfin’s security issues affect me.

All of Plex’s shit does.

Every year Jellyfin improves and Plex further enshittifies. You’re fighting against the tide here.

But, I do want to pay. I want to support the artists who create the shows and movies that I enjoy. I want people to be able to earn a living in the creative arts.

How many people listed in the credits of your favorite show do you truly think own one, much less multiple Porsches?

Right now this is the system we’ve got. It’s like tipping culture. You can refuse to tip, but the only person that’s impacted is your server who will never be able to change the system from within.

I pay for the streaming services to fund the development and production of the shows I enjoy watching.

I torrent the content for my convenience.

It’s a classic “tragedy of the commons” scenario. I ask myself what would happen if nobody paid and everybody pirated.

No shade if that’s your choice, just recognize that you’re relying on all the people who do pay to keep the system going.

How do things outside the LAN talk to things inside the LAN that have ULA addresses. . .?

One big conceptual difference between IPv4 and IPv6 is the notion that any single host on the network is expected to have multiple, simultaneously-useful IPv6 addresses and this is totally normal and fine.

Any IPv6-enabled host is necessarily going to have a link-local address which can only be used to communicate with other hosts on the local network/subnet.

If your ISP offers IPv6 connectivity, or if you’ve set up an IPv6 tunnel from an IPv6 tunnel provider then a host on your network will also have a globally-routable IPv6 address which was assigned from your router via DHCPv6 or (more commonly) self-assigned using SLAAC (Stateless Address Autoconfiguration) which is an IPv6 way for machines to self-assign addresses is a sane, interoperable way without requiring a setup and operation of a service like DHCP(v6). Many IPv6 networks do not need to use run a DHCPv6 server at all and rely solely on SLAAC host self-assignments and local IPv6 router discovery protocols to find DNS servers and eligible gateways to other networks and the internet at large.

The block of IPv6 addresses used for your local machines is delegated by your ISP or tunnel provider. It can be static or dynamic and the underlying protocols will handle if that network range changes. IPv6 generally is tolerant of a host’s public IP addresses changing at any time without disrupting connections or services.

With privacy extensions (enabled by default on all mainstream operating systems) a host on your network might have additional publicly-routable addresses which rotate frequently for privacy. Outbound traffic for the host will prefer these more private addresses for new connections. These addresses are ephemeral and change frequently.

In rare cases you might set up ULA addresses which are static and usable on your internal networks but will not be routed to the internet. They can be used for hosting services on your local network which need to potentially span multiple subnets/VLANs and in particular are useful for internal resources like name servers which cannot rely on DNS lookups for address resolution. Most networks will not use ULA addresses and normal use cases do not require them.

At any given moment, an IPv6-enabled host will have multiple active addresses all used for different types of traffic and it’s important to break any assumptions you have carried over from IPv4 about the relationship between IP addresses and hosts on the network. Your host might be using a link local address to talk to another machine on a shared internal subnet while also using temporary, globally-routable IP privacy address to talk to a server on the internet. Multiple addresses can be in use at the same time to reach different endpoints in the world.

I have single movies that are larger than your entire song library.

I lost power and water for several days following a hurricane. No internet and no cell signal.

A dual band HT was our only way to learn what was happening across the city and in our neighborhood. It was a lifeline. I’ve got a bigger mobile unit set up now with a better antenna. Easy thing to keep on hand for the next zombie attack.

This is incorrect in the US. Ripping DVD and Blu-ray media for personal use has been part of the fair use doctrine since 2015.

Yeah I get what you’re saying. I don’t think you’re hearing me, though.

Best of luck.

I never said I have the breadth of your personality. But I sure as shit have some opinions at this point about what it’s like to interact with you online.

Then honestly I don’t really care about what you think.

Perhaps not me personally but you’ve expressed elsewhere in the comments that you do care about the reaction you’ve received from this community. You’ve expressed frustration at the replies and downvotes you’ve received.

The lemmy mob I’m referencing is actually more of a downvote campaign… it’s the same group of people nearly every time.

I’m suggesting that it might not be about your views specifically and more about how you choose to interact with the other people here.

. . . you can’t discern “personality” traits in 3 sentences of text.

I’ve definitely formed an opinion based on our brief interaction. Is it hard to believe that others might have also done so?

The iPad will last a whole movies worth of time streaming a screen mirror? That’s impressive I guess.

I’m struggling to figure out what you’re trying to communicate here. I mean, yeah, probably. The iPad is notorious for its class-leading battery life under real usage. But you know, it can also be plugged into the wall with any USB-C charger. It’s weird to me that you’d even bring this up.

I’ve seen you mention in several posts that you’re frustrated by the unfriendly response you perceive from this community. Have you ever considered that it might be your personality and not your views that’s causing it?

Edit: No, I have no difficulties reaching local devices while connected to my VPN.

That’s not a situation I’ve ever faced, but imagining the hypothetical, I’d play it on my iPad and airplay/stream that to the TV.

I hate this distinction… If you have jellyfin exposed without some other form of auth in front of it is the problem. It has nothing to do with friends or other users.

Right. I don’t have Jellyfin exposed. Because I’m not trying to share its contents with anyone. That’s the distinction.

I was only speaking to your question upthread. It sounds like you do agree with me that Plex does have a history of concerning privacy decisions. This one even directly affected users sharing your library.

As to the rest I’m not here to sell you on Jellyfin. It’s the right platform for my needs and I’m very happy with it. I’m not one of the “run a pirate tv server for a group of my friends” users, so I don’t place any value on the features that keep you on plex.

Open source will keep being open source. Every year seems to bring improvements to vpn technology and general consumer awareness of them. I have no doubt that Jellyfin will continue to close the gap, by all measures it is a popular and growing project. One day it may even be suitable for you.

I’d still say it qualifies as a huge example of “evidence of privacy problems with Plex.” It certainly informs the community on Plex the company’s perspective on privacy and what a user’s expectations should be.

They chose to make that email and feature opt-out and after the fact.

What evidence of privacy problems do you have against Plex?

Well there was that one time that Plex emailed your friends and shared your viewing habits.

. . . and have 100k to spend.

You can get an 84 month auto loan these days if you’re dumb enough to do it.
