Yes it will always play catchup. However a combined 8 years of targeted Apple Silicon development expertise has left the project in the past month. A big loss to the team is also all the organizational momentum from that as well. Hopefully another team picks up the project if this team cannot finish it.
I’ve contributed to quite a few opensource projects in the past. I know how to work around binary blobs and what troubleshooting, reverse engineering it takes.
Yes, I know. Asahi has been a couple years behind apple architecture. It took almost two full years before M1 was supported.
It’ll be be even longer if the top devs keep leaving the project.
I’m lucky to have only had one system nuked by a faulty power supply that shut down during a kernel update.
I usually just reinstalled back then. But I didn’t get into it till the late nineties. Back when Ian was still on the list serves.
Unless you mean nuking the OS or borking the bootloader. Then yeah, countless.
Just break the windo…oh right
Just because I and my family benefit now, doesn’t mean it’ll stay that way. Also again, I don’t want to support or platform an app that charges others, who are not me, to share their own collection.
If they want to charge for the Plex TV or Plex Movies they host, and leave the app free of cost for a person’s own personal collection to be shared. That’s fine.
I have no confidence that’ll happen though.
The more people that short the stock…the better for everyone.
Hell is other people especially in FOSS.
What’s going on over there?

I just wanna run fedora on an M4 already
Edit: I hope she feels safe and is able to put whatever it was behind her. She’s a brilliant engineer.

Recouping losses from stagnant inventory by burning cars may lead to a short term bounce. However, and I say this with my full chest. Fuck Musk.
Yes, that’s great for me and mine, but not for others. I don’t like to support or platform/promote applications that require a subscription for any access at all.
The problem is Plex aren’t Netflix in my usecase. I’m sharing my library with my friends.
Now if they’d like to charge for the content they host. Great more power to 'em, but I feel icky with a payment or subscription model that charges to deliver my collection to my friends and family.
So, like I said. I’ll likely start migrating to jellyfin and start the conversation with people in how to get the jellyfin app on whatever device they have.
A lot of flatpaks early on wouldn’t survive a major point release upgrade or worst case would hold on to dependencies and the user would end up with an unbootable mess after an upgrade.
I haven’t seen that recently though.
However I regularly run appimages on my fedora silverblue system so take what I say with a grain of salt.
IMPORTANT NOTE FOR CURRENT PLEX PASS HOLDERS: For users who have an active Plex Pass subscription, remote playback will continue to be available to you without interruption from any Plex Media Server, after these changes go into effect. When running your own Plex Media Server as a subscriber, other users to whom you have granted access can also stream from the server (whether local or remote), without ANY additional charge—not even a mobile activation fee. More on that later in this update.
I guess that’s something.
Gonna be a long slow explanation to my family and friends how to switch to jellyfin. Hopefully there’s an app ecosystem there as well. I was lucky to get a lifetime pass way back in 2009 when I did some work for them. It’s very different now.
I shorted the stock last month and I’m shorting again. Gotta lit candle at $170 for May that I hope pays off.
Sidenote: don’t gamble…
Fedora based actually
Plex/jellyfin
If I could do it all over I’d pick jellyfin however plex is on more devices and easier for people to setup…for now.
However you may also be interested in the arr stack. For reasons.
Glad to hear it. Hopefully you have a long tenure there and the company grows at a sustainable rate. You’re in like 1% of the market.
You deserve to be there or they wouldn’t have hired you. You work with smart people who know their shit. They wouldn’t have you there if you didn’t contribute.
However remember that as soon as it starts to get bad jump ship or form a union. You only matter until that tiny company gets bought up by another larger company…like Amazon.

With the impending financial crisis expect there to be a lot of “consolidation” in the market.
Great way to get rid of rotting inventory and recoup costs through insurance.
I just use this
