Yeah that’s definitely true. I gladly pay for Emby and thing it’s worth every penny for how I use it. Jellyfin has got to be the best free+open one for sure.

It is, but also incredibly quick, easy to use etc.

Everything Plex used to be in the good old days imo!

Not forgetting Emby allows either a local or a federated account!

Why does nobody ever mention Emby? To me, it’s everything Plex used to be before it got enshittified!

I think they’re referring to a trade in programme

Yeah, definitely a Memmy thing. Happened to me too.

For those who want something like Plex used to be (self hosted, simple, fast, beautiful, no bullshit spam), definitely check out Emby. I’ve been using it for years and it’s fantastic!

I use parsec to play retro games with my mates by streaming from my pc. Works really well!

Permadeath programming, love it

That is impressive. I host a fair amount at home but do rely on lots of cloud services too. My doorbell won’t ring on all my smart speakers if the internet is down!

Curry or cheese+mayo for me but honestly all of these are great
