Rob AdamsonI’ve seen Mastodon, Pixelfed devs and admins have to repeatedly ask for help with the costs for creating and running things and getting grief when they do so. It’s a particular bugbear of mine, that people can’t undertstand someone, somewhere along the line is forking out money to support what they take for granted and for free! Whoever cracks micropayments for FOSS that are fast, safe and secure will change the Internet for us all. /end <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/Plex" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Plex</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/Jellyfin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Jellyfin</a>

Rob AdamsonIt’s been a journey with them but Plex is an intrinsic part of my set up. The company’s financial model was prob unsustainable especially with the low cost of a Lifetime Pass which I think cost me £79 back in the day. In the last year we saw layoffs and a strategic rethink after some missteps. It was at this time I set up Jellyfin as a just in case option. We have to figure out better ways to support software devs. It costs money to make things. Devs shouldn’t need to beg! /2 <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/Plex" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Plex</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/Jellyfin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Jellyfin</a>

Rob AdamsonI say this as someone who has both <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/Plex" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Plex</a> and <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/Jellyfin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Jellyfin</a> set up on my server. I am beyond tired of the overreactions and at times childish bloviating to Plex changing their pricing and free offering this past week. I’ve used Plex for 12 years. It was free to download and install. Allowed me to watch my DVD/Blurays without having to swap out disks. Game changer. I then purchased a Plex Lifetime Pass to help support the software. They struggled at first with 4K but now very solid and reliable. /1

Petter NaslundMy DeGoogle Journey is going great so far!🚀Moving away from Google and big tech has been both fun and surprisingly easy. Here are some of the recent switches I’ve made:📩 Gmail → Proton Mail 📂 Google Drive → Proton Drive 🌍 Chrome → Vivaldi 🔎 Google Search → Ecosia 🏠 Google Home → Home Assistant 💬 FB Messenger → Signal 🤖 ChatGPT → LeChat (Mistral AI)For streaming, I’m exploring ArteTV alongside other free Scandinavian services.I’m also looking into Plex as a long-term alternative. Seems like I’ll need a NAS for that—any recommendations?Do you use Plex?

RxBradAll of this said: If you've been using <a href="https://mastodon.rxbrad.com/tags/Plex" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Plex</a> for free up until now and still don't want to pay.... It's probably time to investigate <a href="https://mastodon.rxbrad.com/tags/Jellyfin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Jellyfin</a>.If you don't share your Plex with anyone, again, nothing really changes... Though it sounds like you may need to look into something like Tailscale when away from home, so Plex still sees itself as streaming "locally".

RxBradA lot of kneejerk <a href="https://mastodon.rxbrad.com/tags/Plex" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Plex</a> outrage this morning. Welcome to the Internet.Here are the changes starting April 29th:The price for Plex Pass is going up to $7/mo, or $70/yr, or $250 lifetime.As a server owner, Plex Pass will be required to share with others *for free*. Otherwise, friends & family will need to pay Plex $2/month or $20/yr to watch your server.If you already have a lifetime Plex Pass, nothing changes (except the mobile apps are free now for your users).<a href="https://www.plex.tv/blog/important-2025-plex-updates/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.plex.tv/blog/important-2025-plex-updates/</a>
