podman is not a replacement to docker.

I fucking hate how the podman docs say that(because ofc they do).

it’s like saying c++ is a replacement to c. can they work, sure. are they the same? you try importing libs into c the same way you do in c++ and find out. yeah, they’re both c under the covers but they are not the same.

poor impulse control.

that or they use podman over docker.

podman is not a drop-in for docker.

they lie and anyone saying otherwise is lying too.

hasn’t been available since like 8. right?

IBM bought redhat, negotiations with docker bottomed out because docker wouldn’t appease IBM execs, and IBM used their competitor podman. IBM yanked docker out of all packages almost overnight.

yet another reason why I left redhat. any company that uses their power for the sake of using it makes running business on their platform hard, but that’s kind of IBM’s whole schtick.

cat head but no tail

same thing happened to me years ago. it was at that point I made the decision to never dual boot.

I have two dedicated windows devices, and the rest are Linux.

I did,for a time, dual boot by installing windows on an external m.2 drive over TB3 and had a grub entry in for it. I never updated windows and frankly only used it about once a month for work related bs.

haiyaaa…that explains it.

I have never had a smart TV worth a damn.

why you gotta bring reason and logic to this jellyfin orgy?

sounds like a poorly optimized system tbh. My Plex instance loads within a few seconds. on roku, android, and web.

keep in mind I’m using nginx caching and some advanced configs.

how dare you bring facts to this community! we just want to shit on anything but jellyfin!

I’ve never seen Plex users argue in support of Plex. only comments along the lines of, “I use it because…”

the jellyfin users are generally the ones getting bent or upset because people still use Plex for their own personal reasons. they then accuse the Plex users of not contributing to jellyfin because they still use Plex. “if only you used jellyfin, xyz feature would be magically finished because you are a part of the community!”

point is, the only people arguing here are jellyfin users. Plex users are gonna Plex.

wouldn’t you be if you spent 25 years hearing Windows admins preaching about how much better windows is than Linux?

I mean, I’m bitter AF about it and give the MS vendors a good ribbing now and again.

If Windows was so great, why would WSL even be needed? unless their whole plan was to attempt to interfere with the Linux market and tempt people who left to come back.

too bad they went full psycho with 11.

My original comment wasn’t telling anyone what to do.

I was telling the jellyfin community what I was going to do. y’all didn’t like that too much though did ya?

then you came at me calling my comments asinine while attacking my position that the community is toxic as fuck by telling me to “ignore the problem”. yeah, thanks for telling me what I should do.

when I pointed out that your comment is exactly the kind of toxic shit I can’t support, what’d you do? you doubled down and told me more of what I should do!

thanks, if I need bad advice I know where to go now.

the only time I said what anyone should do, it was addressed to the whole jellyfin community as a fucking favor because y’all are a toxic bunch of snowflakes that are clearly too emotionally immature to understand you’re alienating outsiders and killing the jellyfin brand.

I guess the point that you’re not understanding is that I expect Plex to abuse me. I know what their motives are. All I know from jellyfin is that if you even mention “Plex”, the community will come out of the basements they hibernate in and shit down your throat for even suggesting anything other than jellyfin.

Jesus fucking Christ you guys! look at yourselves! how about y’all read your comments to your spouses or mothers and see if they think you’re a bunch of toxic assholes. you obviously won’t listen to reason from a stranger.

shit man, I don’t even fucking care about your asshole project enough to get this deep in comments. I just believe that FOSS deserves a better community than these shitheels.

yes please explain to me what I have to do.

that’s not toxic behavior at all! /s

I’m not a member of the Plex community, never have been. I expect the service to be tailored to make the company a profit. That’s literally all I can trust them to do.

so what can I trust the jellyfin community to do? right now they’re toxic as fuck towards me because I’m telling them they’re being toxic as fuck. the software they built could be the most beautiful and elegant solution in the whole world. but…I’ll never know that because I can’t get past being vilified for calling an apple an apple.

Jellyfin, get your shit together or you will never get past the whole “Plex is shitty” phase.

winners don’t care about winning, they only care about being the best they can be. maybe focus on more of that and less shitting on Plex for doing whatever they’re doing.

You can just not care about the community and everything keeps working. A “shitheel” company will do everything to make your experience suck.

And a toxic shitheel community won’t do that?

it’s comments like yours that makes me feel vindicated in choosing corporate over FOSS, and I know I’m not the only one.

Thanks for doing your part in proving my point.

it’s almost as if a small group of people are desperately trying to make people change to jellyfin.

6 months ago I was seriously looking at jellyfin as a Plex alternative. Now? nah, I’m good.

I’ll take a corporate shitheel company over a roach infested toxic community any day.

the more they push the less I want anything to do with jellyfin, and the leaders at jellyfin should be made aware of what their community members are doing.

is that like onlyfans but like linkedin?

cool. go be angry somewhere else.

I have no way of auditing what I’m putting money toward.

same can be said of FOSS. back channel deals, betrayals, hostile takeovers. all of these things can(and have) happen to FOSS projects. all under a false pretense of “openness”.

There’s no way for the community to keep it going if it stops or goes to shit.

previous point. it’s stupid easy to change licenses and lock out contributors. it’s happened several times. although you can technically argue anything before the license change could be forked, the event usually puts a bad taste in the public mouth and contributions dry up anyway. nobody wants to support a project with uncertainty.

Money given toward proprietary software is money that would be better donated to FOSS whose developers actually give a shit about bettering the world.

I’ve known plenty of FOSS founders that were huge pieces of shit. racist bigoted sexist shitheads. At least with proprietary vendors I can trust they will do anything to continue being fluid/viable.

just want to add, not all FOSS founders are pieces of shit. same can be said for vendors as well.

Proprietary software isn’t worthy of your respect or support. At best, use it if there are no FOSS alternatives, but don’t give money to something that could rapidly enshittify at any moment with no recourse and no way or recouperating your money.o keep it going if it stops or goes to shit.

why isn’t it? if it’s a generally better solution don’t you owe it to yourself and your “customers” to use the best solution? yes, use FOSS. yes, work with FOSS devs. What do you do when the project refuses to incorporate features you would like, even if you’re willing to pay for them? then there’s no difference between proprietary and FOSS, right?

enshitification doesn’t just affect vendors, it happens to FOSS projects all-the-time. I’ve personally experienced it when a bookkeeping app removed support for USD. when asked the founder refused to address it and simply stated that they couldn’t continue supporting a currency that fuels so much corruption in the world. now tell me, how does that garner my respect or support?

Money given toward proprietary software is money that would be better donated to FOSS whose developers actually give a shit about bettering the world.

see point above. you hold FOSS too highly as if the people who create these projects are impervious to corruption or greed. these are regular people like you or me. they have goals and dreams they want to achieve too, and sometimes the projects they started become vessels for them to achieve those dreams.

Proprietary software isn’t worthy of your respect or support. At best, use it if there are no FOSS alternatives, but don’t give money to something that could rapidly enshittify at any moment with no recourse and no way or recouperating your money.

You’re just repeating yourself now.

my point is, there cannot be light without darkness. FOSS and proprietary software are two halves of the same coin. to be so blinded by principles or to fool yourself with some moral superiority complex is only going to make things worse.

use what you need to solve the problems you have. sometimes that includes using vendor locked solutions. it’s not wrong, it’s just life.

yes, but actually no.

Plex pass members can continue sharing.

this isn’t directed just at you, but the whole jellyfin community in general.

not sure why, but the jellyfin community seems to be becoming toxic as fuck. I’m getting hard “best friend” vibes from it. if the Plex community leaves for jellyfin it’ll be on their own terms. just be welcoming to us and your numbers will grow.

if y’all keep acting like a jealous “guy” friend we’re likely to go somewhere else.
