dump them to SSD RAID storage.

Because people totally have DS/3DS/NX card readers and do personal exports before running their emulators. (/s obviously)

The reality is that for 99.999% of owners of these consoles, they’re probably going to boot up their old games and wonder where the saves are, if the old games even work anymore. I’ve already had this happen to the PS Vita with their first party hardware, I should have found a way to install a CFW and get micro SD cards working instead, but I paid for all my licenses and for expensive first party memory cards and now i’m SOL, just like most people.

The rent seeking is so hard with this automate-the-profits bullshit.

The moment we perfect auto-taxis the service should be a public benefit and run by a nonprofit.

Reddit didn’t grow in it’s early days like it does today. To use an analogy for what you’re saying: think of a snowball rolling down a mountain and turning into an avalanche. It’s easy to forget that the snowball started it.

We don’t really have a choice, unfortunately.

This platform has the downside of day 1 bots, unlike reddit of yore.

Don’t worry, the enshittification of both is proceeding well.

Replacements are inevitable in time. This one is growing.

I think most people probably have a lifetime plex pass for their plex server, or they are using alternative servers.

Lifetime pass grants licenses to all clients, at least it used to unless this changes that.

My server has many users and nobody has paid anything aside from my original buy of $120 in 2019. So far that comes out to about $1.67/mo for unlimited users and unlimited updates.

I’m not saying I really like the updates though. I think they should have remained slim, but someone is trying to make more and more money by branching out into bullshit beyond private media serving. All that trash should be separate products that are divorced from the private media server / client product.

All this being said, check out Jellyfin, little reason to use plex over it for private media but it has some limitations if you need subtitles or cannot relocate file structures.

Jellyfin is absolute dogshit though.

Sauce: I just installed it on my media server that concurrently runs plex. I run the app on a fire tv cube to use it… and it crashes* constantly.

Edit: More stuff :)

-My media library when imported immediately showed seasons of shows as separate shows, it doesn’t intelligently automatically merge it like Plex would.

-Subtitle options are not consistent or robust. I MUST have subtitles due to having a multilingual family which is largely ESL, if they speak English at all. This is the problem I tried moving to jellyfin to fix.

This almost certainly will go nowhere.

Can confirm, lead feasted.
