Well yeah I counted the ones that didn’t have those annotations.

They literally just sent you the list. I count at least 27.

Even if they can’t, the publisher can always just push an update that makes it unplayable.

I’m pretty sure they can require an update before launching, and you have to be online every once in a while to play games on steam at all.

I get what they’re trying to say but streaming is and always has been a luxury by itself.

Yeah, jellyfin isn’t much better in that regard. I just have sonarr and radarr managing this.

Even if you don’t use them to download your media, you can still add your existing media and import everything, and have them organise it automatically. You pretty much only have to search for and add every show/movie you have manually, iirc.

It really, honestly, is super easy to get going. All you need is a folder with your media and a compose file you can find in plenty of tutorials.

The thing we Linux nerds often forget, I think, is that we know what we’re doing (most of us at least I hope), and regular people don’t.

I can read a simple compose file and pretty quickly notice if there’s something off.

If you wanted to do that, you’d first have to read up on containers and compose and all that stuff. You can, of course, just grab a compose file and run it, but that’s generally not a great idea if you don’t know what you’re doing.

It does, but the limitation just doesn’t make any sense.

Oh yeah and apparently you can’t stream remotely without a subscription either? If it were a feature they had to spend time on I’d still not want to use it, but I’d understand at least.

From the application’s point of view, there is no difference between internet and intranet access. I just saw that downloading the media you already own, using your own infrastructure, requires an even more expensive subscription.

How tf did people stick around with this shit for so long.

I tried Plex once, before I knew about jellyfin. I just wanted an open-source self-hostable media server with my own media.

When I tried it, after installing Plex, I was presented with a login for a Plex hosted account. Iirc that was optional and I skipped it, after that came the nags for Plex pass. Piss off. That’s exactly the opposite of what I wanted out of something like jellyfin.

Lol that sounds awful. Like going back to the days where I needed to reboot to windows to play games.

I’ll just stick to games without rootkits or with them properly stripped out.

I’m not sure, but this has me wondering how this works in Proton. I’ve installed plenty of fitgirl repacks through proton which worked very well.

Looks like Wine just acts like UAC is enabled and allowed, but still runs with the same privileges: https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/wikis/FAQ#head-c9e6502ad636315e905d07f7e44594757a6738e3:~:text=Should I run Wine as root

As of Wine 9.4, Wine programs run as a limited user by default, but will automatically and silently elevate themselves if necessary (in the same situations that Windows would spawn a UAC prompt), at which point they will report administrator privileges while still running as the same Unix user.
