    So don’t expose it to the internet

    No

    Thwres zero excuse for running anything exposed to the internet.

    …except this entire thread is based on a use case for it

    With Plex you get to pay for those bugs and still have software that depends on a connection even though you’re hosting and viewing your own media, locally.

    You’re condescending dude. I wouldn’t be using Plex if I didn’t understand like 37 things you’re implying I don’t understand here. I paid for it once, it was a good value for me, and I find it pretty weird that you apparently want to admonish me for that. If you want to use jellyfin have at it. I found it buggy to the point of barely being usable. Just sharing that experience and I don’t need anyone to agree with that.

        Are you advocating for an self hosting to only exist locally? Or are you advocating for hosting everything on corporate servers?

          Don’t expose things to the internet

          That goes for corporate settings as well as personal stuff. You almost certainly do not need your self hosted services to be publicly accessible by bots. Anything on the internet gets pounded.

            … You just literally said hosting shouldn’t exist. You are using the Internet right now.

            Also pretty weird to keep phrasing this as a command, discounting an entire class of use cases to be invalid because bad actors exist?
