Comment on Plex vulnerabilities being exploited in the wild to drop a cryptominer
moodwrench@lemmy.world 5 hours agoEveryone talks about Jellyfin, but I just switched to Emby and I couldn’t be happier (no connect cloud stuff). Can someone please let me know why and how I just made the worst decision of my life please.

The main reason is that if you switch from Plex to Emby you’re going from paid licenseware (fully enshittified) to paid licenseware (not fully enshittified yet). It’s like when everyone finally dropped Skype and moved to… Discord. Which hey it’s closed source and owned by venture capital, but it doesn’t suck yet!!! And now in 2026, Discord is what Discord is.

But I haven’t paid anything to Emby (I don’t need the code behind that key) and without cloud, I could continue using this version forever and they can’t enshitify it
