Hi! I can only speak for myself but I think there’s probably more like myself than you’d expect. I live in Minnesota. This is my home. I was born here, grew up here, and I intend to stay here. If it comes to it I’m ready to defend myself and my community, but I won’t be driven from my home by tyrants and fascists.

Overcast

Are you me? Swap a Windows daily driver for a Mac instead and our experiences are basically identical.

I went with a 920+ but I’m also running a server on an Asus mini PC running Ubuntu to split the load for transcoding because I’ve got a lot of remote users now.

I run into you again! This time I get to wholeheartedly agree with you! You are spot on and nailed it.

I use Plex for exactly the reasons you said because when I set it up I didn’t know anything about self hosting a media server and I wanted to share with family in other locations. I keep it because it’s so easy for my older, less tech savvy family members to access so I don’t have to be their support person for it.

I’d consider Jellyfin if the end user access was more plug and play.

The biggest thing about this is I don’t get why OP is so annoyed. If you have a Plex Pass you’re not impacted, you can still share and your users can still access your library for free, they can’t share with you without a Plex Pass but who cares.

I don’t know, I’m only Canadian lite (Minnesotan) and was just answering the question. If I remember correctly he was a pretty big supporter of George Bush in the 00s so I’d assume he’s always a been pretty conservative and that’s likely only gone further right with age and more wealth.

Chronic traumatic encephalopathy aka brain injuries aka multiple concussions

They’re implying that it’s the result of head trauma suffered during his playing career but it could just be he’s a shit person.
