  • What’s the purpose here, will you host it and access it from a browser? Or do you only want to backup its data to your server?

    I have been online for a long time and seen countless services come and go, often my data goes with them.

    So that was my reason for a long time, having my data available and not relying on some third party.

    Now, with the emergence of Big Data + AI I’ve also become a lot more privacy aware. Before I couldn’t even imagine why anyone would want to target my data (data mining takes a lot of work to be useful), but now/soon they can just point AI at data dumps and ask it something like “give me a list of X people to exploit, order it by method, chance of success etc etc”

    Paranoia? Yes, but suddenly it feels reasonable to be paranoid.


  • I’ve been a Flex Pass lifetime user since 2018 and I honestly feel like I got my money’s worth during that time so I can’t complain too much, but I’m absolutely ready to switch. They only focus on money-grab features these days, and playback & subtitle issues are getting worse every update.

    I never bothered _too_ much about the privacy stuff, but after they got so “me me me” focused I trust them less with my data.

    I’m just waiting for the Jellyfin Tizen-version to be approved (Samsung OS “app store”) and once that’s done I’m immediately switching.

    I have Jellyfin on Chromecast, but unfortunately my TV doesn’t supports Dolby Atmos passthrough, so only native apps support it (+ Chromecast is just a bit sluggish)
