Nah. How would you get Uncle Bob to use tailscale on his PS5 to watch Jellyfin, for example?

It’s also fucking wild to me that people are defending a monetization model that is on self hosted hardware.

It’s wild to me that people who claim to be tech savvy don’t understand that Plex Server, the software, is what makes Plex what it is and as popular as it is. No other solution exists that is as easy as Plex and as secure as Plex. Jellyfin, Emby, Kodi, etc are nowhere near as simple to use and don’t have the breadth of app support that Plex does. Plex is basically on every device anyone owns. They sign in and they can stream from everyones libraries. No VPNs needed, no other hoops.

I paid like $100 for a lifetime Plex Pass like 10 years ago. The 2 dozen friends and family that share my server don’t pay a cent and this changes nothing.

”We will continue to help, but we will no longer fly around the world as mediators in meetings,”

Not quite what the headline suggests happened.

Bob your uncle will absolutely not use Tailscale to stream from Jellyfin, so Bob your uncle will no longer have access to OPs library.

As long as the library owner has a Plex Pass nothing changes for ANYONE who is streaming from that Plex Server.

Google and others used Reddit data to train their LLMs. That’s all you need to know about how accurate it will be.

That’s not to say it’s not useful, but you need to know how to use it and understand that you need to only use it as a tool to help, not to take it as correct.

This has been directly refuted by the Tesla board, who even told the reporters that it wasn’t true when they were asked before the article was published……then they published it anyway and didn’t include the boards comments lol
