@dima@dol.social I bought mine a long time ago (for $100), and I would say it's definitely been worth that price. Is $250 worth it? Maybe. It depends on whether Plex continues growing as a software company. Their business model has always been shaky, but as long as the product is solid, it's probably worth that price. If you are a Synology user, it is definitely worth it. The $750 price is bananas - how many months would it take to make your money back?

@User47@vmst.io Sad but true. If you're hoping to engage someone intellectually, it presumes they have an intellect.

@benroyce@mastodon.social @log@mastodon.sdf.org @thegarbagebird@theblower.au @alanthecampbell@techhub.social @lzg@mastodon.social Holding your nose to vote for the least of two "turds" seems to undermine your argument. How do I vote to put better candidates on the ballot in the first place? It really does seem that we're scraping the bottom of the barrel now, but I've been around long enough to know that they can always get worse.

@nicosomb@piaille.fr I just installed Linkwarden and it seems to have all of the same functionality. (I also tried Shiori and Wallabag.)
