Plex now want to SELL your personal data
-
You can hide libraries on jellyfin.
Just create a family user and a porn user and login how you please.
Sweet Jesus thank you!
-
It specifically mentions email addresses (used for account creation I assume) and what content is being watched, which a VPN wouldn't do anything for.
What if its all tied to a seedbox, would that matter?
-
lmao.
Yes! How can I use this with my seedbox? Just FTP to my computer and use the stashapp from there?

Or...If feeling a little bit paranoid, run a second copy of Jellyfin. That's what I do. Works well for me.

It's interesting to see the different kind of comments here and on Redshit.
Here, people are smart and they are switching to Jellyfin. On Redshit, if people mention Jellyfin in a comment they get downvoted right away.
I think it was maybe last week or the week before there was a thread about plex enshitification and I recall a lot of downvotes to folks praising/recommending jellyfin over plex.
-
I might actually have to switch to Jellyfin then...
I say that as a paying plex pass customer
I find it wild that you still seem unsure. What would make you say "Thats it, im switching!"?

It’s all fake and manipulated there anyway.

Damn it damn it damn it!! I can't use Jellyfin because...its what I watch all my porn on. Plex was used for all the family stuff. Mother fuckers! Greed is a bitch.
Edit: Wait..what if we are using a VPN...shouldnt we be good then?Docker and tailscale you can run multiple instances

My suggestion: Get Symphonium in addition/to replace Finamp.
Much more advanced in what it can do.
Only downside: You can't exclude libraries. If you have a soundtrack-like library separate from the regular music library, it can't be separated.Thanks for the suggestion. I will try it!
Is it good with gapless playback? It isn’t as crucial for me as for some people who listen to live recordings etc, but it’s always nice to have and is a good sign for the quality of the player.

Kodi exists however it's a client only, it is not made to host content. You are looking for jellyfin

+1 for Jellyfin!

Idunno why you don't think having an unique hash attatched to your data is no biggie. Especially if that hash is easily cracked in a few years by quantum computers.
Nobody is gonna be using a quantum computer to "crack email hashes" of Plex users in a few years... I'm not even sure there is a speedup to hash cracking with quantum computers.
But depending on the hashing algorithm used, it's likely pretty easy to crack hashes of email addresses today with a normal computer. They're not particularly high entropy.

You can literally click “I do not agree” lol. Also the “personal data” is a hashed email (so they don’t get your email), ip address, and watch history. Not very “personal”, and not anything that violates your privacy or is of any concern to you.
wrote last edited by [email protected]I have no skin in this game, but IPs are definitely not anonymous data. Also there is a lot of great info out there about de-anonymizing seemingly random data. Interestingly enough, this is similar to the Netflix prize dataset that was one of the more famous ones. Maybe a good introduction to that would be https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2007/12/anonymity_and_t_2.html

No, he provided details for his internet first. You're the one who came in comparing your business contract internet with his non-business one. Did you just conveniently forget that?
You need to scroll up and pay attention.
Them:
My ISP offers symmetrical [...] glad I'm not American
Me:
As someone living in America, I have great internet
Them:
<Requests direct information about cost>Me:
<I oblige>Them:
<makes a comparison without qualifying anything about the comparison, claiming theirs to be superior>Me:
<calls it out>They provided no details at all... this whole engagement. We still don't actually know what speeds they even get for their mere 28USD. Could be 100mbps and it would be significantly worse by ever metric than my 8gbps. I can't compare my service to something that we have no details for.
