minus-squareTeknikallinkfedilinkEnglish1•1 month agoAs long as their not Plex’s files I see no Issue that they should be compensated for.
minus-squaredantheclammanlinkfedilinkEnglish1•1 month agoIt is enshittification for sure. At the core it makes sense to not have it free, since dynamic DNS is not free. However it is a very small cost
minus-squareEggyheadlinkfedilink3•1 month agoI thought I read that there’s no charge if on the same network. It’s just for accessing your files remotely from other networks.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish7•1 month agoYeah this is why I don’t use Plex. At one point I installed it on my NAS. It goes through the setup, and then says I need to make a cloud account. Wtf? I am running locally hosted software on locally hosted hardware to access locally hosted files. Why do I need any cloud for this? I don’t. I uninstalled it.
