Forget email, I'd prefer RSS integration, with actual aggregation happening in the cloud and new feeds being accessible in sync on several devices I own. For rarely updated feeds aggregation could be done on client.

Vivaldi has feeds built into the Mail client and browser.

Also recently made the switch. I don't like that there isn't a Jellyfin app for my Samsung TV. Everything else about Jellyfin is 100% superior. Hands down.

The Jellyfin web interface is much better than the Android TV app. You’re not missing out.

My question is how easily can you share a library or folder with someone else by just getting their email address? That’s a great feature of Plex

There’s no cloud services in Jellyfin. You have to set up a VPN on your server, and an account for them on the VPN, plus create a user account for them on Jellyfin. It’s not impossible, but it’s more work.

I tried to switch to jellyfin from plex, but the TV app is not yet good enough. The subtitles looked ugly, there was no way to customize it. They are huge, almost covering up a quarter of my 55 inch screen.

Apart from this one issue, I didn't feel anything missing. It's quite good. I don't see a reason to use plex over jellyfin unless you want some of their paid features.

I use Jellyfin’s web interface on the TV. It’s way better than the Android TV app.

Reputation systems should be based on /abuse/, not on automation. I also ended up on the naughty list for running an archival scraping program. Trying to preserve part of the Internet is apparently against the rules. It's really a shame because my code honors rate limits, doesn't spam, and is completely docile.

It’s against copyright laws too, unless you get the right holders’ go-ahead first.

Some regional differences, but it’s mostly not allowed with a few exceptions for some institutions.

This kind of behavior from such companies that have the market dominance should be illegal.

They have the unsupervised power to destroy people's life.

But for me, the biggest problem is not companies from this size doing this, nowadays it is completely expected; the biggest problem are people, including developers, that think they are right and have the right to do it.

Anti-discrimination laws should be updated to include personal software preferences. “You can’t tell my gay-ass not to use Firefox on Linux!”

This is not an acceptable situation, but I have NFI what individual nobodies can do about it :(

> For whatever reason, I must have done something that angered Cloudflare

I'm guessing: having an IP address close to (or outright reused from and thus identical to) someone malicious, whom you know nothing about.

That’s one of the theories discussed in the article, yes.

Sounds like the guy's network was being used as part of a ddos attack. That explains the slow loading of sites as well, CF wouldn't throttle you.

(Author here.) This is possible, but implausible. I log network traffic and haven’t noticed anything out of the ordinary. The point of the article was mostly to complain about the lack of information from Cloudflare, though. I don’t know what caused the blockade, and they’re not telling. How am I — as an end-user — supposed to do anything about the situation? I don’t even know what the situation is.

If this happened to me, the first thing I would do is switch to using a VPN. In my experience, Google is far more likely to throw up CAPTCHA challenges to VPN users. I wonder if this is what happened to the OP.
d2wa · 3 years ago
(Author here.) I don't use a VPN from my home connection.
