Appears to be Hetzner for now, wouldn’t be surprised if all VPS get affected eventually.

    I never understood this, it’s your selfhosted server but you kind of don’t own it and depend on them, so you just have an application which depends on a their service which means plex isn’t 100% selfhostable, correct?

      Plex has been hostile towards self-hosting since the very beginning. They have been asked to add local authentication for more than 10 years.

        Yup, as soon as they started the mandatory login bullshit, I bounced. Companies keep adding this “feature” as a way to control your stuff: Doom on Switch, Halo Master Chief edition, nvidia, my fucking mouse(!?); all need a login for no other reason than to add a point of failure/killswitch.
