this is why i'll stick to plex, it actually has developers

[-] laylawashere44@lemmy.blahaj.zone 54 points 9 months ago

Ooops, Plex just banned the server provider you were using, guess you'll have to migrate it all at the drop of a hat.

[-] missveeronica@lemmynsfw.com 12 points 9 months ago

You should never use bad examples. It just makes your comment look stupid.

[-] myersguy@lemmy.simpl.website 24 points 9 months ago

Without an explanation, this comment looks more stupid. Why is their example bad?

What kind of moron isn't hosting his own plex server?

[-] lemmyvore@feddit.nl 13 points 9 months ago

The kind that did a cost analysis of buying their own hardware and running costs vs the cost of a VPS. Or the kind that doesn't have good uplink bandwidth and wants to share with family and friends.

[-] Scary_le_Poo@beehaw.org 3 points 9 months ago

You would have to be a fucking moron of the highest order to upload tons of illegal content to a cloud based server.

[-] lemmyvore@feddit.nl 2 points 9 months ago

As opposed to keeping it at home? ๐Ÿ™‚ How is it any worse? If anything it can be better, there are some VPS services that attempt to preserve your privacy to some extent.

Have you heard of Plex literally banning Hetzner, a server provider?

[-] SnowdenHeroOfOurTime@unilem.org 2 points 9 months ago

Yeah and it was banned for being heavily used by awful criminals. Probably not a big deal to switch hosts even if you didn't self host for some reason

[-] Scary_le_Poo@beehaw.org 2 points 9 months ago

Apparently I have to be more clear. What kind of moron is using a cloud based server for their

illegal

Movie collection?

[-] exu@feditown.com 5 points 9 months ago

You can have a perfectly legal collection, not give anyone else access and still be affected just because you use a particular host provider.

[-] Overzeetop@beehaw.org 4 points 9 months ago

a perfectly legal collection, not give anyone else access

I would love to meet this unicorn.
