In an email to customers who run Plex servers at the large German hosting company Hetzner, Plex said that access will be blocked next month. It’s not clear if Hetzner is the only hosting company this applies to, but several customers confirmed that they received the same email.
Has anyone here on Lemmy got this notice? Self-hosting is still in the green, but with this precedent who knows what Plex could do later.
It’s always the case of a small group ruining the whole thing for everyone. Identifying and removing big dodgy paid servers would be a good middle ground without punishing the others.
