Netflix announced that it’s password crackdown “exceeded expectations”

I am so disappointed in you, US consumer.

I canceled my Netflix when this happened. I wasn’t really using it, but friends and family were. At least three of them created their own accounts when I canceled mine.

Of course they’re going to say that. They won’t provide hard data to prove it, but by saying it they can keep doing it and make it look like a positive PR move.

They’re a publicly-traded company, of course they’re going to provide hard data to prove it: https://d18rn0p25nwr6d.cloudfront.net/CIK-0001065280/62b73aad-65fc-436d-9ab9-d622dc3eb462.pdf#page=12

They’re a publicly-traded company, they have to prove it. And they have.

I cancelled after the last hike, and my family has access to my plex server with great quality and reliability, and a simple request system. But they barely use it. They just got their own Netflix after I cancelled the one we shared that I was paying for.

Finally got fiber at my home and created many accounts for my family on my emby server. Wanted to give them access to my overseer server but I don’t trust it’s very secure. I will just let them access it and make requests when they visit.

I think a reverse proxy really helps with the security concerns

Fat Far out! You’re like the only person I’ve seen mention emby. It’s always Plex. Been running emby for a while and it’s great.

I’ve been doodling around with Plex and sonarr in a Docker setup on my Linux box, but I’ve run into some issues that I can’t figure out. Any good resources to recommend for creating the optimal setup?

I can’t say I know of a good single resource, I’ve learned a lot about docker and linux over the years just googling and trying things. There are now a number of scripts and docker-compose setups that will get everything set up for you with little effort.

My setup is using docker containers running on the UnRaid OS. UnRaid makes docker deployment slightly easier, but it requires that a docker container also include a custom config file that allows it to be configured via unraid’s webui. I’ve found this limiting from time to time, when I find dockers that I want to use, but couldn’t install via the webui. So I learned a bit about using docker from the command line, which actually wasn’t all that hard. Especially with docker-compose.

One issue in particular that took a minute to figure out with docker, if you need the containers to talk to eachother, you have to be aware that certain types of docker network connections will not automatically see the other containers, even if both containers are connected to your home network.

Just stick with Plex/Jellyfin + any and all apps ending with *arr (aka the *arr stack).

Either they blatantly lie about the outcome of the password crackdown or they see no issues at all to showcase how mind-bogglingly greedy they are. I think I’ve read this week they claim that subscriptions increased by 6 million worldwide. You’d think that is enough increase in revenue for a while, but no, let’s increase prices now. Weird timing imo, unless they’re testing how far they can go

I feel like Netflix is nearing its end, and they are extremely aware

Yes what a bunch of dolts paying for the services they use instead of mooching off of others.

Right? Bunch of suckers paying for services. Everything should be free. Everyone should work for me and expect nothing in return.
