I have Plex running but this change means I can no longer access my own shit remotely with paying for their shitty sub.

Thankfully Jellyfin is here. Plex can fuck right off.

It was my go to dynamic DNS provider for years, but after noticing that it would take a good few seconds for my Jellyfin instance (among all the other stuff I self host) to load, I traced the issue down to duck DNS taking too long to resolve.

I switched to using ddclient in docker which updates my own domain's records on Cloud flare with my dynamic IP. Now things load instantly.

Plex still has more features and is a more mature product. However, the Plex ship is on fire and people should be looking to move away before it sinks.

Fuck Plex.

They are removing it to make money from a subscription instead. You're making it sound like they are doing something good!

So the media that I host is now no longer streamable when I am outside my home network? The fuck?

That's my server, my bandwidth, my electricity and they are blocking it?

Until they remove or add something that this tier doesn't get.

Jellyfin is the future.

I have a domain and it points to SimpleLogin. I then have 400 aliases that all point to a proton email address which I give out to no one. If I don't like Proton or want to use Proton and Tuta, I can direct my mail to both at the same time. I can also respond as any of the aliases from either mailbox.

SimpleLogin gives me the ability to point all 400 aliases to a new mailbox in minutes. No more going around every website to use my new email address like I did in the past.

It's very much a WAN solution too. I use it to push my files to a Pi Zero W that's 200 miles from my house. I use it as an off site store of my files. The Pi is connected as an untrusted device in Syncthing so that all files sit encrypted at rest.

I guess Lemmy is getting popular now that it's being targeted for spam.

Yeah. I have a free account I used for testing. I need to give it another go really. I liked it but it is still not a patch on Google Photos in terms of usability for viewing or finding photos.

Most people are like sheep and just follow the herd.
