  • 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.









  • In the US, we’d use it only to further exploit animals and further enrich the 1%.

    Corporate America will immediately determine and then monetize all their needs. In a generation we’ll have cats paying for enough mice to get them through the week with the last of their earnings from the previous 2 weeks of catching hundreds of mice for their employers.

    Then there will be a Republican-led effort to get people to stop spaying and neutering them, so the 1% will always be assured there are enough hungry cats to keep the folks at the top wealthy.

    Edit: Sounds fucking ridiculous that anyone would voluntarily create or work within such a system doesn’t it?


  • This won’t matter at all because there is no one who is willing to believe Trump is a piece of shit who didn’t already know he’s a piece of shit.

    He can literally do whatever he wants because the folks standing by him at this point would suck off the devil himself if they could be sure Dems stayed out of power, women stay barefoot and pregnant, and minorities and queer folk would get hurt along the way. The folks who want him gone are quite clearly not capable of doing anything that will get him out of power anyhow.

    The best thing we can all do right now is send McDonald’s gift cards to the white house and keep cheering on Team Arteriosclerosis.
