Sunk cost fallacy does not require continued investment. No idea where you got that from. It just requires considering a sunk cost in your decision making.

The difference between unusable and inferior was never the cusp of this argument to begin with.

Literally quoted the inferior part in my original response and specifically mentioned you should just consider both on their merit without considering the sunk cost:

The logical way to think of this is: You already paid for Plex so both are free for you. Since both are free, just pick the better one.

Never said you should switch. Just because you seems to lack reading comprehension skills and misread my comment does not mean I am moving the goalpost. You are using a straw man argument: pretending I argued something I didn’t and debunking that nonexistent argument instead of my real argument.

One valid complaint is that I did ignore switching costs in my shortened explanation. This is a mistake on my part, though it does not affect whether your statement as written is a fallacy. It is.

No I didn’t.

no. What you describe is just one form of the fallacy. Sunk cost fallacy in general is when you include a sunk cost in your decision making process at all, instead of just considering the costs and benefits that are affected by the decision at present.

The part I quoted is the fallacy. You wrote you will stop using it when it is unusable, not when it is inferior to Jellyfin. Maybe you were thinking something different, but we can’t read your mind. We can only read what you wrote and what you wrote is a sunk cost fallacy.

Not sure if you’re trolling or you just had a brain-fart 🤔 Happens sometimes. Maybe think about it a little more.

You’re right, but I don’t care if they switch honestly. I used that wording because of the “anything else is stupid” statement, which just irked me when paired with the obvious fallacy.

It was just a reaction to the “anything else is stupid” statement paired with the fallacy. I wouldn’t use that phrasing otherwise.

I paid for it, I’ll use it. When it is unusable I’ll bail. Anything else is stupid.

What you are saying is called sunk cost fallacy. A notoriously common stupid way of thinking.

The logical way to think of this is: You already paid for Plex so both are free for you. Since both are free, just pick the better one.

No. As I said, apps don’t work. I cobbled together an API key service that let’s you have an API key (password) in the server URL in Rust for myself. This works with Apps, but it is a bit too messy and single purpose for me to open source it right now. Maybe one day.

Honestly, I may have to write one at some point. I just used the documentation of those two tools to set it up.

So use a reverse proxy with authentiacation before access to Jellyfin is allowed. I use Caddy forward_auth with Authelia for this. Unless you also want to use the apps without VPN, this works great.

Well, I switched to Linux to get away from Microsoft bullshit so I never tried installing any of their stuff but I can see that being an issue for some people.

For most people, especially those who want to migrate from other OS, micromanaging package versions is not part of doing shit.

🤣

Care to elaborate?

I guess technically. This makes me wonder what actually qualify as stars. Do neutron stars? Do black holes?

UPDATE: By the definitions on wikipedia, miriam-webster dictionary and britanica, a brown dwarf this cold may not actually qualify to be a star. I will search further for astronomical definition.

I just finished refining my Jellyfin setup. I use caddy as reverse proxy and use authelia as authentication in front of Jellyfin. This way only users logged in to authelia can access my Jellyfin. And there is an SSO plugin for jellyfin to avoid double login. The tricky part was getting apps to work.

So naive to think the bad guys did not steal the source code. The bad guys just don’t share the zero days and the good guys don’t get to see it.
