Everything Republicans claim to stand for is a hollow lie that exists only to justify their greed, their lust for power, and the harm they inflict.

Disagree? Prove me wrong.

  • Emby

    Jellyfin exists because Emby was only open source until it wasn’t convenient. Some of their own devs pointed out they were violating the license, and their response was… non-ideal.

    So Jellyfin was forked with the last fully open-source Emby code.

    At least that’s my recollection several years down the line.

    I decided then that no amount of headache from Jellyfin (and let me say that I was an EARLY jellyfin adopter AND former Plex user) would be enough to get me to use Emby. (Because things like that are important to me, though I realize they aren’t important to everyone.)

    And reading this thread I’m apparently a super-genius because I have my Jellyfin behind a reverse proxy and serve it to my elderly parents with a simple login and an app they were able to install, and never found it to be a headache. (Which, if I’d read this thread only, I’d conclude was just not possible without voodoo magic)

    No headaches along the way, and whereas Plex had already begun the march to enshittification when I left, Jellyfin has done nothing but steadily get better.

    Anyhow, longer answer than intended, but I’d go back to Plex before I’d go to Emby, just on principle.

    I want you to know that I unchecked this box today solely because of you. You post too much that is interesting to block you, but damn that spinny wheel of distraction and death, you m_f. 🙂

    You’re like that guy from the 2000’s - seemed like there was one on every forum - who had the little gif of a gnat walking on your screen as an avatar.
