Like, if you just stumbled across a couple people doing the sideways tango in the woods; they probably aren't going to just let you strip down and join in.

Lived in Australia for a couple years and those were super common in all sorts of public bathrooms. (schools, bars, libraries, clubs)

Basically just a wall covered in stainless steel, with a slope to a drain in the corner.

Can't say I disagree.

Yeah; Emby was originally called MediaBrowser and was a free open source project. 'MediaBrowsers' developers decided to move to a closed source paid model to establish some more consistent income and support the dedicated developers they have. Thus Emby was born.

Some users were really unhappy with this decision and forked MediaBrowsers last release to create Jellyfin. Their development has been quite a bit slower, but they've made some significant strides in recent years. It's a more and more attractive option.

One of my biggest reasons for sticking with Emby (besides already having a lifetime premier license) is the dedicated clients available on more platforms. Xbone is my primary streaming device, besides android: Emby has a dedicated xbox client you can install that will take full advantage of the the hardware(more content direct plays, HEVC video for example), where as Jellyfin you've gotta use the web browser which is cumbersome and forces the server to transcode media a lot more.

In the case of plex, it's not 100% selfhosted. There's a dependence on plexs public infrastructure for user management/authentication. They also help bypass NAT by proxying connections through their servers so you don't have to setup port forwarding and can even easily escape double NAT situations.

I can understand paying for that convenience, but cost keeps rising while previously free features continue to get locked behind paywalls.

Tbh, having users required to authenticate with plex.tv was enough for me to look elsewhere. The biggest reason to self host for me is to remove dependency on public services.

I got the same email.

I haven't had plex installed for over 7 years, and I've NEVER used the shared libraries feature.

We noticed that you’ve accessed libraries from friends and family in the past

They've apparently noticed activity that's never occurred.
