I bought Plex pass years ago for £79. The new price of $749.99 is INSANE.

No wonder all the cool people are using Jellyfin.

I cannot understate how bad of an idea it is to expose something to the Internet when you don't know what you're doing.

Jellyfin is not designed to be exposed directly. They have a number of outstanding security issues. You should really use a VPN to access your local network instead.

I expose plenty of services. I like to live life dangerously 😎

ADHD linux zealots will argue anything, no matter how stupid, if you dare hold any comparison to a commercial product. It's literally built into their ADHD brains need to argue and be right.

They will sit there and argue insane shit and pretend like most people have a desktop sitting in their living room much less setting up an entire *arr stack with reverse proxy. And then scream at you when you say that sounds like work I don't have to do for less than a hamburger meal.

It's easy bro, just learn docker, get it set up so that services boot at launch, and I'm sure nothing will never break or need to be updated again.

yup people forget about convenience. its why I've been building retrovibed for the last year. that *arr + plex/jellyfin + vpn + reverse proxy nonsense is insane. yes you can do it.... but seriously who the fuck wants to manage that many moving parts.
