A lot of people self host so they are in control. This is Plex taking away that control, plain and simple.

I don’t know how many people host completely legitimately acquired content in their libraries, but your reasoning is such a cop out. Are you gonna defend them if they start scanning libraries for potentially illegally obtained content and blocking that because it could “put them in legal hot water?”

For what it’s worth you can convert the database to postgres if you want. I tried it out a few weeks ago and went flawlessly.

Yeah I’ve been using it for about a year and half or so on my main devices and it’s been wonderful. I’m likely going to down the list of supported providers from the gluetun docs and decide from there. Throwing my torrents and all that behind a vpn was the catalyst for signing up so I’ll continue to look for that support first and everything else is secondary.

I’m pretty sure it’s entirely disabled. Their announcement post says it’s being removed and doesn’t call out any exceptions.

I run my clients through a gluetun container with forwarding set up and ever since their announced end of support date (July I think?) I have had 0B uploaded for any of my trackers.

E: realized you may be asking about proton, oops

Wow this is great. I’ve been having trouble getting exit nodes working properly with these two. Sad that mullvad dropped port forwarding though so I’m not sure if I’ll stay with them.

I thought about setting one up for my main server because every time the power went out I’d have to reconfigure the bios for boot order, virtualization, and a few other settings.

I’ve since added a UPS to the mix but ultimately the fix was replacing the cmos battery lol. Had I put one of these together it would be entirely unused these days.

It’s a neat concept and if you need remote bios access it’s great, but people usually overestimate how useful that really is.
