Prince Andrew’s accuser Virginia Giuffre given ‘four days to live’ after horror crashAbsolutely correct. The truth that's already out there is disgusting enough, leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

Plex is locking remote streaming behind a subscription in AprilJust because I and my family benefit now, doesn't mean it'll stay that way. Also again, I don't want to support or platform an app that charges others, who are not me, to share their own collection.
If they want to charge for the Plex TV or Plex Movies they host, and leave the app free of cost for a person's own personal collection to be shared. That's fine.
I have no confidence that'll happen though.

Plex is locking remote streaming behind a subscription in AprilYes, that's great for me and mine, but not for others. I don't like to support or platform/promote applications that require a subscription for any access at all.
The problem is Plex aren't Netflix in my usecase. I'm sharing my library with my friends.
Now if they'd like to charge for the content they host. Great more power to 'em, but I feel icky with a payment or subscription model that charges to deliver my collection to my friends and family.
So, like I said. I'll likely start migrating to jellyfin and start the conversation with people in how to get the jellyfin app on whatever device they have.

I haven't seen that recently though.
However I regularly run appimages on my fedora silverblue system so take what I say with a grain of salt.

Plex is locking remote streaming behind a subscription in AprilIMPORTANT NOTE FOR CURRENT PLEX PASS HOLDERS:
For users who have an active Plex Pass subscription, remote playback will continue to be available to you without interruption from any Plex Media Server, after these changes go into effect. When running your own Plex Media Server as a subscriber, other users to whom you have granted access can also stream from the server (whether local or remote), without ANY additional charge—not even a mobile activation fee. More on that later in this update.I guess that's something.
Gonna be a long slow explanation to my family and friends how to switch to jellyfin. Hopefully there's an app ecosystem there as well. I was lucky to get a lifetime pass way back in 2009 when I did some work for them. It's very different now.

Self-hosted media server to share with 5+ people?Plex/jellyfin
If I could do it all over I'd pick jellyfin however plex is on more devices and easier for people to setup.....for now.
However you may also be interested in the arr stack. For reasons.

China seeks a role in Ukraine’s post-war reconstructionLikely as not Chinese companies will profit through shell corporations and NGOs rebuilding Russia and Ukraine. The US could've but they dismantled USAID and are actively courting Russian interests in the region.
