I am curious as to why people thing Plex is self hosting if Plex can change how your server functions? I have never personally considered it self hosting but do others still think it is?
You are a bot? That’s what I’m seeing in Boost anyhow
Just asking a question looking for answers, not a not. Cheers mate.
WTF that is bull
it’s just a sivilian being sivil.
You appear to have labeled your Lemmy account as a bot account.
why stop there! let’s do the same for all the “self-host” projects that use CDNs or remotely hosted resources.
it’s not self-hosted unless it’s 100% hosted locally.
Right, he who does not rely on someone elses DNS-server shall throw the first stone!
How is that any different than any other software package? Unless you’re coding it yourself, things can be changed without your permission.
Jellyfin I don’t have to update if I don’t want to. Jellyfin can’t force me to update by taking a function I currently have away or force my to pay to keep using it the way I currently am. With open code I can fork it and keep it at the version I want if I choose.
At least for now. Jellyfin was spawned from Emby who also decided to go closed source at one point. You’re still at the whim of strangers and what they want to do with the product they developed.
Regardless, the debate isn’t about “Plex vs Emby,” it’s whether “Plex is self-hosting” or not.
And even if you do code it yourself, you may have dependencies that do undesirable things outside your control.
