Got the prompt earlier this week. Haven’t seen any noticeable increase in its DNS requests, but it’s not impossible that the hostnames it’s reaching out to just aren’t in my MANY block lists.
271 blocks today and all the same old- analytics.plex.tv.
Good to know. When I get this prompt at home I’ll be watching my Pihole server quite closely for a while to see for sure.
I don’t disagree at all, but morally and legally speaking if “no” means “no”, I don’t actually see anything wrong with the prompt or the idea itself. If no means “later” or “limit this data”, or even “anonymize this data”, it’s time to revolt.
I agree Jellyfin’s pretty rad and DOES prove what can be done for free, I’ve used both and Plex is a much more “set and forget” and I personally have had more issues with streams breaking/stopping for no reason with Jellyfin- are those probably my fault? Yep, probably borked a setting or misconfigured it- just saying that’s my personal experience.
I’m just one idiot making noises with my meat flaps. I’m no authority.
If we find out “I do not consent” opts out, I’m fine with it. If we find out “I do not consent” leads to a “Close our account” page, it’s time for pitchforks, especially since they recently had a huge sale on lifetime memberships.
That switches you to a phone app platform that hides the ads but records everything about you from your telemetry and sells it.
Holy #%!@ng sh#%.
My entire life is Linux and self hosted, aside from Email. I may get to that one day too. Love my Plex server, even with the more recent baloney the company’s apparently been up to.
I should be using Jellyfin but once I get home from work I don’t want to tinker any more, I just wanna play a game or dick around.
Agree with the message in the video, these companies should be told to pound sand the minute they do a single anti-consumer thing.
