    Remember when Plex tried to sell you a subscription to use outdated versions of open source game console emulators?

    Plex wants to be a profit-driven company, but their business model is piracy. They’ll squeeze you for subscriptions, while making your experience worse to try and broker a peace deal with content owners.

        Setting up ddns takes 15 minutes for a professional (mostly setting a 1-line script to reload a simple url every ten minutes)

        and poking a hole in the firewall takes maybe half an hour (since every router puts the relevant page in a different spot)

        And for this you think it’s reasonable to pay ~$25/year for the rest of your life? You’re not wrong in the sense that you’re welcome to choose your own values, but I … disagree with you on the value position.

        To stream remotely from your own server?

        If I chose to use Plex’s plex.tv services to expose my server to the internet, that’s one thing. But I have my Plex server exposed through my own infrastructure (NPM + Let’s Encrypt), so fuck that shit.
