Yep, I just double checked and I think it's all remote connections, not just relayed ones. You can probably get around this by setting up a wireguard tunnel or something to make Plex think you're connecting locally, but it's definitely going to be easier to just use Jellyfin if you haven't already set that up

IIRC it's a charge to use their relay servers, which you only need if you don't have a direct connection to your media server. Setting up a direct connection isn't always easy or possible especially for non-technical users, and does come at some small expense to Plex, so it's not that weird to be a paid feature. But if Jellyfin meets your needs that's a good thing, it's probably got a better shot at avoiding enshittification long term.

edit: I was not remembering correctly, even direct (remote) connections are paywalled. You'd need to use some kind of tunnel to make Plex think you're connecting locally.

It's fully cross platform with .NET Core and later.

Monkey laundering.

I was one of the last ~50 active players on War of the Roses when they shut down the backend. I had a bit over 1000 hours almost entirely in 1v1 dueling servers. Everyone knew everyone else. Tons of tribal knowledge about weird mechanics and glitches, blood feuds, and just generally interesting emergent gameplay within this tiny little niche. Since they shut it down I've been through college, grad school, a couple jobs, moved across the country, etc. and I still miss it. I really wish we'd been given this consideration.

People ITT hating on null coalescing operators need to touch grass. Null coalescing and null conditional (string?.Trim()) are immensely useful and quite readable. One only has to be remotely conscious of edge cases where they can impair readability, which is true of every syntax feature

I once had the flu so badly I couldn't get out of bed or yell for help. My parents put on "Flushed Away" (movie about some fuckin rats) on dvd and it looped at least 4 times before anyone came back to turn it off. One of my core traumas

I am personally unaware of any serious reason to believe that Firefox’s numbers will improve soon.

Either the author doesn't know about the Manifest v2 deprecation or is saying it's "unserious" to believe this might improve Firefox's market share. Either way, goofy.

For that matter, the real numbers are fake as fuck. "Ah yes, let's just throw in uncountably many non-computable numbers." They have played us for absolute fools.

That's for the kernel. Userspace often breaks userspace.

God forbid you ~~have to~~ can pay for stuff if you want.

It's a third party app. One of many. With an optional purchase to support the dev. Honestly...
