    1. Added Jellyfin in Minecraft as a mod
    2. Another case of “if it’s not on your hard drive, they’ll take it away the second the company doesn’t renew the license.” People still think buying a movie means lifetime access, but based on more frequent and recent news it sounds more like a 5-year rental
    3. I deleted Plex today after 15 years
