That fat slice of onion looks brutal af.

I guess the whole idea of this move is to force self-hosters to pay for a Plex pass. But it’s a funny demographic to try to strongarm into a subscription. Most tech savvy self-hosters won’t think twice about spinning up a Jellyfin instance instead, especially given that it’s FOSS. And for those folks with a lifetime Plex pass this makes no difference.,

Awesome work… I’m sure @RandomLegend@lemmy.dbzer0.com will be pleased you’ve automated his guide :)

This post does break rule 3. Just some advice, if you make a more generic request like “how to bypass paywalls on substack?” that would be totally fine (and there multiple methods). But I’d appreciate it if you removed this post.

Welcome aboard matey, and also to everyone else who finally jumped ship :)

I know, it’s difficult when people pile on with bad faith takes. Anyway don’t worry, I think it’s clear what you meant now.

Ok fair enough, I accept the explanation you provided. Folks are taking issue with the following comment in particular.

What does it take to impress you? To what would you assign their disturbing success?

In isolation, this sounds a little too close to admiration for the Nazis, which is why we got some reports about it. It seems to me it’s just unfortunate phrasing, because together with the explanation you just provided, it sounds like a reasonable take for you not to want to paint them like some hapless foe that was easily defeated, because that discounts the difficulties faced by those who fought the bastards.

What point are you trying to make here @Melatonin@lemmy.dbzer0.com?

Are they both supposed to be the exact same repack? I looked at your previous post and a virustotal result like that can be quite normal for certain types of patchers. But it could be a virus (you never know) so if you have the option of a cleaner looking repack then I’d say go for that one!
