With what army?

Might makes right. The only thing stopping countries from violent hostile take overs is the chance a bigger country will step in to stop them. Now the US is showing they are happy to help countries to this, it might open the floodgates and China will just take what it wants as long as it stays within its timezone.

Got it.

That seems pretty cool.

I’m a little confused. It’s this a self hosted program? Following the link I see a monthly subscription cost.

Peer pressure isn’t a good reason to do anything.

I was using realvnc but I hit the 3 free PCs quickly. I’ve since moved to nomachine and run it “locally” over tailscale.

I assumed it was clear what I meant,

I don’t support a blanket ban because there’s no way for that to work. I do support the concept of separating developing minds from predatory media.

How do you do it? I don’t know. It’s easy to say the answer is parental supervision, but if it were that easy it would be an already solved problem.

The way social media works means that by the time you identify predatory behaviour, it’s already too late to prevent it. The way the government has gone about it is ignorant and embarrassing.

They recently did this in Australia. The method just doesn’t work. Most kids weren’t banned at all, other kids figured ways around authentication, and the ones that were banned just use their family accounts or use the services logged out.

What makes it worse is that kids who now access the services by getting around the ban are being exposed to content aimed at adults like gambling adverts.

I’m not opposed to the concept, but the fact is that there is no realistic way to enforce it. It’s an impossible ban but they attempted it anyway by putting the onus on the companies that have no interest in the ban.

RAID5 and RAID6 can lose 1 and 2 drives respectively without data loss.

I don’t think this is at all to do with that. This is sociopathy mixed with greed. He hid his mother’s body so he could run the pension scam in addition to his property portfolio.

Because it’s a stepping stone in the learning. Using something like tailscale that just works allows you to develop skills with other software and workflows. Eventually you progress to harder things like hosting your own private VPN.

Clever, but very hands on

Same. I’m downloading a car right now.

I rolled back. It was fairly easy and now the downloads work again.

A lot of the angst about the server requirements for Plex pass really have to stretch the truth to become a victim. It only affects you if you were using it for free, in which case 🤷, it was free, it’s hard to feel bad about it.

The only thing I’m disappointed in is the free mobile streaming comes at the same time they released the new broken app. When they get around to fixing the app I’ll be able to tell my friends they can now use the app. The server owner paying once is much better than every person paying for the app.

It’s inappropriate because you’re not allowed to review your own companies software, let alone do so without declaring as such.

If he was forthcoming in his review, it would have been to obvious that it’s a breach of the ToS. Workers are not permitted to review apps made by their own company.

This is 100% a shady review.

They are providing extra service. Using Plex on mobile is now free for everyone, which is a huge step forward. It’s not a bad trade off for server owners to require Plex pass for remote viewing (which is only necessary if you’re not using a VPN like tailscale for free remote viewing).

I don’t get why people are freaking out over a one off fee to unlock something that has running costs for Plex, which itself isn’t necessary if you just opt for a free VPN client like tailscale.

OP couldn’t comprehend an email, and when everyone tried to reassure them that nothing for them has changed they doubled down. The closest thing to justification I can figure is “all my clients are borderline illiterate as well and it upset them”.

How in the world could you be upset that a product you already paid for is not providing that specific feature for free anymore. They’ve even made the phone software free!

How many people with a folder full of media also know how to safety expose a home server to the internet? It would be less than 1%.

Meanwhile, you don’t need network engineer levels of knowledge to run Plex for remote access. You download the software, choose the folder, and send your friends a share link.
