I think there’s a misconception.

Plex can “hide” (not really) your own server because you can direct your users on Plex.tv (they can login there, etc. without ever typing your IP address).

But Plex can also use an internal reverse proxy that lets you see your content from outside even without port forwarding. However, quality and speed will be decreased.

I think Jellyfin should work to ease the process of setting up your server as much as they can, but unless they start managing a SaaS like Plex does, they’ll never be able to offer the same simplicity for the end user.

Wasn’t Jellyfin developed using the Emby source code as a starting point?

You can always start creating your own personal media server, using apps such as Plex or Jellyfin, and qBittorrent, SABnzbd, etc.

Discord is awful for everything that’s not live audio chatting. And even in that case, I think Telegram groups work better.

Yes, we just have to collectively make Lemmy grow until it’s a true and complete replacement for classical monolith websites such as Reddit and Facebook groups.

The problem with Facebook is that it’s un-searchable from any search engine. Also, Meta.

From your stats, it’s clear that the first fall was caused by Facebook and smartphones.

So what’s your trick?

Too bad they’ve been recently acquired by Canva :(

I can’t understand how people use git from the command line without a proper visual tool such as Sublime Merge

But with Windows 11, you are sure it’s compromised.

Some apps actually run faster on Wine than on native Windows, but it’s a bit a hit and miss. You should try them yourself.

Also, dual boot is usually the best solution to begin.

kHTML, that’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time

I feel old

If we want to be honest, Firefox on Android has way worse performance than Chrome.

(But I still use it instead of Chrome)

But only if you’re from Québec

Reddit has stopped being a good guy a long time ago.

There’s a new search engine called Yep, made by the team at Ahrefs, a SEO tool SaaS.

It looks promising because they have their own index, but it’s a bit slow sometimes.

Ahh now I understand the reasoning, and I completely agree.

To be fair, some things are already taxed in the place where work is created, regardless of the company headquarters. E.g. event tickets (VAT is always applied in the country where the event is taking place)

When you buy something, the seller pays a VAT tax (something about 17% to 23% of your purchase, depending on the country).

If I’m a French company and I sell something to a customer in Finland (we would be both in the EU) taxes would be paid in either France or Finland (it depends on the kind of thing I’m selling and the kind of customer).

If I understand correctly, they want to tax digital services in the place where the work is actually generated. So, in France.

I’m laughing in Plex
