They actually did a study on it after rolling back to Windows, and it turned out to not have failed due to technical difficulties at all.
If I recall correctly they stated that something like 80-90% of all issues reported during the period were due to badly designed processes - processes which were the same as in Windows, and the number of technical issues actually dropped.

Certainly, the fact that Microsoft promised to build a fancy new HQ in the city if they switched back to Windows can’t have had anything to do with the choice to roll back…

Default block for incoming traffic is always a good starting point.
I’m personally using crowdsec to good results, but still need to add some more to it as I keep seeing failed attacks that should be blocked much quicker.

10-20% of year-over-year revenue is the going rate.

Honestly, the two reasons I’ve been sticking with Plex is the federated/shared libraries and watch together.

If they’re starting to axe those then I see no reason to continue using it.

Apparently posting it caused enough load to take down my pict-rs server, sorry about that.

I’ve been hoping to find a non-PHP alternative to Nextcloud for a while, but unfortunately I’ve yet to find one which supports my base requirements for the file storage.

Due to some quirks with my setup, my backing storage consists of a mix of local folders, S3 buckets, SMB/SFTP mounts (with user credential login), and even an external WebDav server.
Nextcloud does manage such a thing phenomenally, while all the alternatives I’ve tested (including a Radicale backed by rclone mounts) tend to fall completely to pieces as soon as more than one storage backend ends up getting involved, especially when some of said backends need to be accessed with user-specific credentials.
