My original comment wasn’t telling anyone what to do.

I was telling the jellyfin community what I was going to do. y’all didn’t like that too much though did ya?

then you came at me calling my comments asinine while attacking my position that the community is toxic as fuck by telling me to “ignore the problem”. yeah, thanks for telling me what I should do.

when I pointed out that your comment is exactly the kind of toxic shit I can’t support, what’d you do? you doubled down and told me more of what I should do!

thanks, if I need bad advice I know where to go now.

the only time I said what anyone should do, it was addressed to the whole jellyfin community as a fucking favor because y’all are a toxic bunch of snowflakes that are clearly too emotionally immature to understand you’re alienating outsiders and killing the jellyfin brand.

I guess the point that you’re not understanding is that I expect Plex to abuse me. I know what their motives are. All I know from jellyfin is that if you even mention “Plex”, the community will come out of the basements they hibernate in and shit down your throat for even suggesting anything other than jellyfin.

Jesus fucking Christ you guys! look at yourselves! how about y’all read your comments to your spouses or mothers and see if they think you’re a bunch of toxic assholes. you obviously won’t listen to reason from a stranger.

shit man, I don’t even fucking care about your asshole project enough to get this deep in comments. I just believe that FOSS deserves a better community than these shitheels.

yes please explain to me what I have to do.

that’s not toxic behavior at all! /s

I’m not a member of the Plex community, never have been. I expect the service to be tailored to make the company a profit. That’s literally all I can trust them to do.

so what can I trust the jellyfin community to do? right now they’re toxic as fuck towards me because I’m telling them they’re being toxic as fuck. the software they built could be the most beautiful and elegant solution in the whole world. but…I’ll never know that because I can’t get past being vilified for calling an apple an apple.

Jellyfin, get your shit together or you will never get past the whole “Plex is shitty” phase.

winners don’t care about winning, they only care about being the best they can be. maybe focus on more of that and less shitting on Plex for doing whatever they’re doing.

You can just not care about the community and everything keeps working. A “shitheel” company will do everything to make your experience suck.

And a toxic shitheel community won’t do that?

it’s comments like yours that makes me feel vindicated in choosing corporate over FOSS, and I know I’m not the only one.

Thanks for doing your part in proving my point.

it’s almost as if a small group of people are desperately trying to make people change to jellyfin.

6 months ago I was seriously looking at jellyfin as a Plex alternative. Now? nah, I’m good.

I’ll take a corporate shitheel company over a roach infested toxic community any day.

the more they push the less I want anything to do with jellyfin, and the leaders at jellyfin should be made aware of what their community members are doing.

cool. go be angry somewhere else.

I have no way of auditing what I’m putting money toward.

same can be said of FOSS. back channel deals, betrayals, hostile takeovers. all of these things can(and have) happen to FOSS projects. all under a false pretense of “openness”.

There’s no way for the community to keep it going if it stops or goes to shit.

previous point. it’s stupid easy to change licenses and lock out contributors. it’s happened several times. although you can technically argue anything before the license change could be forked, the event usually puts a bad taste in the public mouth and contributions dry up anyway. nobody wants to support a project with uncertainty.

Money given toward proprietary software is money that would be better donated to FOSS whose developers actually give a shit about bettering the world.

I’ve known plenty of FOSS founders that were huge pieces of shit. racist bigoted sexist shitheads. At least with proprietary vendors I can trust they will do anything to continue being fluid/viable.

just want to add, not all FOSS founders are pieces of shit. same can be said for vendors as well.

Proprietary software isn’t worthy of your respect or support. At best, use it if there are no FOSS alternatives, but don’t give money to something that could rapidly enshittify at any moment with no recourse and no way or recouperating your money.o keep it going if it stops or goes to shit.

why isn’t it? if it’s a generally better solution don’t you owe it to yourself and your “customers” to use the best solution? yes, use FOSS. yes, work with FOSS devs. What do you do when the project refuses to incorporate features you would like, even if you’re willing to pay for them? then there’s no difference between proprietary and FOSS, right?

enshitification doesn’t just affect vendors, it happens to FOSS projects all-the-time. I’ve personally experienced it when a bookkeeping app removed support for USD. when asked the founder refused to address it and simply stated that they couldn’t continue supporting a currency that fuels so much corruption in the world. now tell me, how does that garner my respect or support?

Money given toward proprietary software is money that would be better donated to FOSS whose developers actually give a shit about bettering the world.

see point above. you hold FOSS too highly as if the people who create these projects are impervious to corruption or greed. these are regular people like you or me. they have goals and dreams they want to achieve too, and sometimes the projects they started become vessels for them to achieve those dreams.

Proprietary software isn’t worthy of your respect or support. At best, use it if there are no FOSS alternatives, but don’t give money to something that could rapidly enshittify at any moment with no recourse and no way or recouperating your money.

You’re just repeating yourself now.

my point is, there cannot be light without darkness. FOSS and proprietary software are two halves of the same coin. to be so blinded by principles or to fool yourself with some moral superiority complex is only going to make things worse.

use what you need to solve the problems you have. sometimes that includes using vendor locked solutions. it’s not wrong, it’s just life.

yes, but actually no.

Plex pass members can continue sharing.

this isn’t directed just at you, but the whole jellyfin community in general.

not sure why, but the jellyfin community seems to be becoming toxic as fuck. I’m getting hard “best friend” vibes from it. if the Plex community leaves for jellyfin it’ll be on their own terms. just be welcoming to us and your numbers will grow.

if y’all keep acting like a jealous “guy” friend we’re likely to go somewhere else.

I don’t get why you’re being downvoted for spitting facts.

if you like software you should support it.

second this.

also look into HR services. they handle most HR things plus many have products that do the HR stuff like time tracking, payroll, benefits, state/country compliance/regulatory requirements, etc.

it can be costly but the cost is higher when you factor in your time away from running your business and increased legal risk from breaking employment laws.

once you get large enough you can hire a director of HR and reduce you reliance on your vendor.

take a chill pill and come back to read from start to finish.

you were the first one to respond with hostility, prick. I commented on how it’s a bad idea to have SSL certs last for a decade.

that’s when you responded with heavy sarcasm, like a angsty child.

maybe if you didn’t have tissue paper for skin you could see how much of a petulant child you are. I can even see how fragile your ego is from all your interactions with others.

I don’t know what’s more pathetic, your overwhelming desire to be right or your desperate need to prove you’re smarter than somebody else.

some friendly advice before I block you forever. if you think everyone around you is an asshole, you’re the asshole.

I don’t use shit-tier products like cloudflare so I don’t bother knowing what their product line is or what it does.

not knowing how a platform specific product works doesn’t dictate intelligence.

also, in your original comment you said “SSL cert” and never mentioned it was a platform specific cert.

be clear when you say shit and people won’t misunderstand you and treat you like a fucking moron.

web application firewall.

think of it like an intelligent firewall proxy that can take action against perceived threats like injection attacks or timed attacks. some can also help fight against DDOS when integrated with an actual firewall upstream.

says the self proclaimed anarchist that fights for…civil rights? they teach you that at the anarchist meetings?

now I know for sure, you’re just trying very hard to act intelligent but have no idea what you’re actually doing.

now I feel bad for arguing with a child.

amateur.

you’re going to get fucked by doing that one day, and it’s going to be months or longer before you realize it.

I just hope you’re not responsible for an actual business with poor security practices like that.

generating a decade long cert is a terrible idea.

what if a malicious actor gets your private keys and can spoof you now?

you’re fucked unless you work through the vendor to blacklist that cert, which is a huge pita.

certs should be done yearly at most. quarterly at best.
