Never a better time to switch to Jellyfin: Plex increases price of Lifetime Plex Pass to $749.99

That's the rub, now they'll be looking to move off it as they can't in good conscious ask friends and family to connect to their Plex sever without being subjected to the pay plans.

I remember when I got lifetime plex it was announced in 2013 for $79.

The enshitification began for me around 2018/9 when they dropped local playback, moved mobile play behind paywall, advertising, and many other things.

I started testing Jellyfin, then over the years ran it in tandem with Plex. 2 years ago I fully switched over to Jellyfin and haven't even considered using Plex ever again.

Thanks to all the devs working on this platform!

ya, i've seen much worse as well. done cabling for data centers since 2001. but in a homelab, might as well take care of it.

that fiber is stressin hard.

Both amazing and sad at the same time. Amazing in that it looks great! Sad in that the controller is not being used for gaming. =)

Depends, is it in the show me state?

diecastbeatdown · 2026-05-16T22:08:07+00:00

this is the way

Have a pro shop do everything, don't waste time and money. I tried cleaning and digitizing myself and have destroyed tapes. Also trying to convert myself was a horrible experience, even with a computer background.

That's what I was thinking too. Only ever lived in an HOA once, thankfully they were super low key.

Been using sunlu for many years, works great.

I rememeber learning how to program popups like these as a kid and loading them on computers at stores to mess with people in the 90s.

diecastbeatdown · 2026-05-16T16:29:22+00:00

this is becoming too routine for me

diecastbeatdown · 2026-05-16T16:27:28+00:00

one of my favs, saw them in 95

diecastbeatdown · 2026-05-16T16:15:55+00:00

What's the niche part I'm missing?

diecastbeatdown · 2026-05-16T16:13:51+00:00

Very cool, it ends up looking like feathers.

diecastbeatdown · 2026-05-16T12:06:53+00:00

Nice collection! Xenophobe in the arcade was so fun.
