I'm not saying there wouldn't be layoffs without it, but it certainly would be better. I know from experience that a lot of the people that were laid off were a critical part of the team, and those that remained had to bare that load. It has burned me out several times, because I'm doing work that should be done by two or three people.
It is, at least in my experience. Further, my recently laid off colleagues have been trying to find work for months, some of whom have been applying for jobs that would require pay cuts, with no luck.
Pretty much every job listing in the tech space gets hundreds if not thousands of applicants because the layoffs have not stopped for three years. You can see what I mean at layoffs.fyi. In tech, 60,000 so far this year, 153,000 in 2024, 264,000 in 2023, and 165,000 in 2022.
That's not even counting those that graduated in the last couple of years. Those people are in an extra bad spot because they have a large amount of college debt with no way to make their payments.
All of STEM is suffering because of corporate greed and rising anti-intellectualism.
There will definitely be more, especially as the economic situation in the US continues to worsen. Big tech works under the unsustainable model of unlimited growth, and even if profits increase, if they don't increase "enough" they lay off workers. They could save a ton of money by laying off execs, but they'll never do that.
I've found layoffs.fyi to be pretty up to date with tracking how many people are laid off in the tech sector. It's no wonder that it's nearly impossible to find a job in tech, and these execs and boards are to blame.
I'd be lying if I said I hadn't considered a career change, not because of the work itself but because I'm exhausted from worrying about if I'll have a job to pay the bills tomorrow. The only thing stopping me is that I have no idea what I'd do otherwise.
If it was just my parents and I using it, that'd be fine, but it's not. In my experience, nothing is quite as simple as "always on", and if something breaks, even unrelated to tailscale or anything I set up, I'll be to blame even when it wasn't my fault.
It just wouldn't work for my users, unfortunately, and I don't want to be responsible for endpoints on networks that someone else owns. I'm not denying that it's possible or that it works for some people.
That's the real benefit of a solution like Plex - it makes it so I only have to manage my own network, and if I want to invite someone new, I just ask them for the email attached to their Plex account, and I'm done.
I also am curious where you're finding rpi's for $35.
Your users shouldn't be upset because nothing has changed for them. It shouldn't be the end of the world to tell your users that nothing has changed. None of my users have reached out.
I'll agree that they should have only sent it to affected users.
Your users might be more upset that you're pulling the plug and will require technically involved setups such as tailscale for Jellyfin. Gotta pick your battles.
I'm not a diehard fan of plex or anything, but I would never be able to get my mother in law to properly set up any type of VPN. None of my users are technically inclined. Until Jellyfin has a different solution, I will unfortunately be sticking with Plex.
It doesn't matter that they got the email, everyone did. You need to read it further and see that if a server owner has a Plex pass, the users do not need to pay.
I don't quite understand your confusion, they sent the email to everyone with an account. The email indicates clearly that if a server owner has a Plex pass, the users do not need it. The email is not "wrong".
I want to mention this disclaimer, though: right now, at least in tech roles, it's currently very difficult to actually land one of these jobs. Listings are getting hundreds of applicants per hour on some occasions. There's a lot of competition because of recent return to office mandates and layoffs, and it might be awhile before that changes.
This is one of the few reasons I dislike living in the area I do, defense contractors are basically the only ones nearby hiring for engineering roles. Luckily I work remotely, but if that ever changed and I couldn't find another remote position, I'd probably have to move. I'm not about to sell my soul.
I can't speak to sftpgo as I haven't used it, but from looking it up it seems that some people like it, although it's a pain to set up. If you want something simple I'd still just go with openssh.
You're using loanwords from English, something only done in South Korea. Further, you're using honorifics from SK. You also aren't using any distinct NK spelling or vocabulary. This didn't really help your case to be honest.
Notably, your comment has almost nothing to do with the comment you're responding to. You don't mention how you got Tor to magically break out of the intranet.
