I ultimately want to ditch Plex, but as an existing lifetime member, it currently handles everything so smoothly for my users that I don’t see enough benefits in switching. Particularly on the music streaming side (PlexAmp), I think the experience is the most polished one I’ve seen.

My hope is that by the time the lifetime Plex Pass experience has become enshittified, Jellyfin will be more ready than it is today, and I’ll make a switch then.

So far the enshittification has not hit lifetime Plex pass subscribers

You can make a smartphone (more) private, but out of the box and loaded with standard apps (eg Google), its a privacy nightmare. So I get where they are coming from. Sure using SMS isn’t private, but dropping all that app addiction is.

Meta will probably not truly “delete” anything. Personally to make it as “deleted” as possible, I would still delete all of the content before closing the account, but theres no real way to know how they handle these things.

Ah but new tech always has been ruining us

Sonarr lets you create a list of TV shows you want, and it automatically searches for episodes from sources you specify (eg. Bittorrent, Usenet) and passes them to your download client(s), and organizes all of the media files.

Radarr does the same thing for movies.

You manage them both with a web interface. Installing and setting them up requires technical steps, but there are guides.

Bit of a stretch, but second-hand sales do influence the value of the CD and therefore increase its initial sale price (ie. CDs have extra value because they can be resold).

So buying used does indirectly increase profits, though of course the lion’s share of that is likely not going to the artist anyway.

The artists don’t make money on CD sales?

What’s the context of this?

You could use double hypens – they do the same job without the LLM fingerprint.

This is what it is at least in my head

Does Tuta integrate into external clients easily? Genuine question

I’m still figuring it out. But at the very least, my SO and I both have phones with the Immich app, and auto sync our photos folders to it, and we can both see all of the photos that have been synced.

Syncing to all of my household’s phones was one of my main requirements. So far its working, maybe its been recently updated.

In my mobile app, I can select a photo > edit > crop, and get rotate options there. Does that do what you’re looking for? I can’t confirm right now since I’m not home and haven’t exposed it beyond my home network yet, and haven’t tried it from the web interface. I agree though, as I continue to use it, rotating will be a common use case and I’d hope it handles it gracefully.

Brand new Immich user here. Love the project and I hope it goes far!

Also maybe I’m not understanding, but the two complaints about it so far in this thread are not being able to sync photos to a phone and not being able to rotate photos and, I’m pretty sure I can do both?

Honestly the primary reason is some specific device support, eg. my TV has a built in Plex app but not a Jellyfin app, so switching also probably involves new hardware. I also couldn’t get Jellyfin to work with another TV using Chromecast, but I’m getting rid of that anyway.

Otherwise, maybe you can update me on these since it’s been a few since I last tried Jellyfin, some of the things that come to mind are:

• Smart collections & playlists
• Skip intros and credits
• Overall slick UI

I still use Plex because I have a lifetime pass from many years ago and Jellyfin isn’t yet as feature-rich and accessible on all of my family’s devices.

I expect to someday migrate fully to Jellyfin once Plex is enshittified to the point is being a worse experience, but that hasn’t happened yet (with the Plex pass anyway)

I’ll disagree. It is useful. You benefit from going through learning this stuff regardless.

IMO all people should receive a broad general education. It’s good for the individual and for society. Even a poet should have at least a basic understanding of how an engine works and have some exposure to mathematics or whatever.
