Plex itself is a US company and were it "obvious" that its existing Cloud product was infringing on copyrights, it would have already been the target of a lawsuit.

I don't think IntelliJ vs. Atom is a good comparison for Electron vs. JVM. IntelliJ is doing a lot of things Atom doesn't do, like loading/building an index of all of your code and dependencies in order to auto-complete and

I don't think that's true. The JVM is far closer to native code than Javascript, both technically and in terms of actual performance. Here's some synthetic number crunching benchmarks: https://benchmarksgame.alioth

Unless you're going to be doing pretty much entirely sequential reads of entire files, I don't think this is likely to work well for you. B2 (and other cloud storage) isn't just priced by bandwidth but by "transactions&q

It doesn't need to be a specific provider, those were just examples. The idea is to have free traffic between Backblaze and someone that provides compute, so you can transform the data without fetching all of it. I suggested those in p

I feel like it'd be the opposite. DMCA protects the storage provider as long as they're unaware that they're storing infringing content and Plex limits sharing enough that any infringement is unlikely to reach the MPAA/R

Currently I don't really use cloud storage, it's cheaper for me to colocate a 2U stuffed with disks and buy transit. Primarily though I store media. I have (for a home user) large amounts of high resolution (lossless audio, RAW im

I'd be interested to know, have you looked into reducing/eliminating bandwidth prices further for clients close to your network? It seems like you're with Unwired, which has heavy inbound traffic and peers at a number of faci

I've tried it but ultimately the cost of storage outweighs the benefit to bandwidth assuming infrequent data access. OVH is also entirely located in Canada and France so performance between much of the US and their services isn't

Backblaze B2 is a storage service, Arq is a storage client. They're different but complementary tools so you can't really compare them. At some point Arq could even support B2, though the most recent record I could find of this su

Well it seems to be the only thing that drives improvement in media licensing. Without piracy I suspect iTunes and Spotify would have come decades later, if at all. I suspect the same can be said for Steam. Piracy really is an availability

I don't think this really affects VPNs though. Megaupload is a criminal case which the US appears to have substantial evidence supporting. I still think it's an overreach but what crime can the US accuse a foreign VPN operator of,

I don't think this is the differentiating factor. The EU is very diverse, I think the difference is that Europe has had a far longer time for its inhabitants to resolve or overcome their differences. It was only a little under 150 year
