When Plex first started, we were movie and TV fans who wanted to make something great for people like us. We chose to offer a Lifetime subscription early on because we knew many of our customers would rather pay a higher one-time fee for software that they can depend on every day.

We’ve considered eliminating the Lifetime Plex Pass in the past, given that recurring subscriptions help us sustain long-term development, but we know it’s still a valuable option for many in our community. So instead of retiring it, we’re keeping it available at a price that reflects the real, ongoing value of the software we’re committed to building and maintaining for years to come.

Tailscale, Netbird, or Wireguard, depending on how many people you want to share with and the technical comfort of all parties

My technical comfort is high. Everyone else's is low

Expose it to the internet in a way you're comfortable then tell them login details including what to write for the domain.

Or just do what I do and set it up on their TV for them 🤷

Everyone else can learn.

You're the one with the goods.

Dude, do you have a mom? Have you met a boomer?

[–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com -4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Yep.

Ghosted her, and the rest of my family, after they became MAGA nutjobs.

... Are they paying you for this valuable IT service you provide them?

They can always go back to Netflix or Hulu or whatever.

... unless you just do full stack, frontend+backend, custom software deployments... for free...?

I don't do shit for Boomers, for free.

Tell em to go buy a lawn mower and mow lawns to afford another enterprising local IT expert's services, or maybe they can introduce themselves to the president of internet piracy with a firm handshake or something, I'm sure that'll work.

If they throw a temper tantrum, remind them the full term is Baby Boomer.

people actually cutting off their parents is kinda sad. Not that I hope they did something else besides vote to earn you ghosting them, there better be damn good reason. Cutting off your parents is a huge deal. One of my new coworkers suggested I cut off my own twin brother because he’s a manager at Walmart, and she was someone I knew for like a month. I was shocked to learn she knew people who cut off their parents for not understanding gender neutral pronouns… I get it because nobody wants their parents to cut them off or hurt them but in this situation it wasn’t even they didn’t accept their child they just didn’t really understand the pronouns

My parents are abusive idiot QAnon MAGA fascists who spent their lives giving me CPTSD via their constant gaslighting, magical/conspiratorial thinking, and overwhelming narcissism.

My dad even makes ghost guns in his garage, builds AR pattern rifles with no serial numbers... at least as of the last time I interacted with him, that was the final breakpoint.

If you can't understand that, or just think its sad, you've clearly no concept of what those kinds of people are like.

You know that instagram/tiktok/youtube channel where the daughter and son are just talking with their completely insane MAGA parents who would literally be ok with Trump or ICE killing them, their children?

That's 30% of the country.

30% of families... that's the parents.

Hey, your choice is your choice. And I certainly don’t know you or your parents, if my parents flew swastikas I wouldn’t talk to them either, but that’s a little different, no? My mom is a SUPER liberal, and she is pro ICE, pro Israel, says some pretty heinous things about other races, but I still do love her because she’s my mother and did teach me away from the right, kind of. I would never cut her off.

Also the gun thing might be something that could land your father in prison holy shit. Idk how this website works much but be careful, though honestly it might make you feel better if he’s locked up 😅. Them guns you describe is HOT!

I actively tried and failed to get him arrested for it.

He belongs in a prison, he has done many more crimes than that.

And uh, no, its no different. MAGA are American Nazis, they're directly analagous to the OG German Nazis in a stupendous amount of ways, even if they are not literally flying Swastikas.

Frankly I have no idea how you can have a .ml account and at the same time not realize that MAGA literally are the 21st century, American version of Nazis.

[–] deathmetaldawgy@lemmy.ml 1 points 19 minutes ago

I’d argue America in general, especially the government are the 21st century Nazi… I agree with you but you should look into, literally every intervention since ww2 alone. Our actions in Isreal are enough to justify everyone, bipartisan, being prosecuted… Operation paperclip saw Americans recruiting Hitler’s top guys. America has always been the Nazis since the Nazis were defeated by communists.
