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.

“I’LL SHOW YOU!”

And here we are, cleaning the grocery store shelves of popcorn hoping that somehow, they both lose

Please do.

It was glorious when we could all do this

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.

Your neighbor has fantasies about cowboy hats and wheat fields. You use your 1/2 ton properly.

Desktop support huh? Look around your town for little tiny MSPs. There are 3 or so in my little city (I work at one of them) and I’ve been begging them to hire a tier 1 tech for years. We’re busier than HELL. They insist we “can’t afford one” but we’ll be able to afford 3 as soon as one of the “partners” finally retires soon.

If you’re ok doing remote-tool desktop support and know what you’re doing, I have no doubt you’re worth $20/hr.

Even if there’s no listing or “We’re hiring” sign in the window, I say take a chance and walk in to ask.
In the mean time, have you considered putting an ad on craigslist/etc? Best of luck to you fellow geek.

“B.B.BUUUT MY FRAUDULENT RURALITY”

You just spat in the face of 90% of full size truck owners, and I’m here for it. Well done good sir/ma’am. Carry on.

So uhhh

When is their entire political party to be lobotomized?

Good luck even opening it without signing in to a Microsoft account.

Ooh! Do Teams next

You do Crossfit?

I wish there were enough Native Americans left that they could collectively push all of us into the ocean at this point.
