BrianFagioli shares a report from NERDS.xyz: Plex is raising the price of a new Lifetime Plex Pass from $249.99 to $749.99 on July 1. That's a $500 increase for media server software. Plex says it needs the money for "long-term development" and future features, but a lot of self-hosting folks are already wondering if this is basically a soft way of killing the Lifetime option without officially removing it. At nearly $750, are people just going to move to Jellyfin instead? As for those future improvements,.

Kufar.by - это примерно как avito.ru, только в Беларуси. После очередного “улучшения” там стало невозможно выбирать авто и недвижимость: цены показываются только в белорусских рублях, хотя рынок всегда будет в долларах (боже, храни Америку). Поэтому я сделал небольшой Chrome Extension, который добавляет рядом ориентировочную цену в долларах. Пока только для авто и недвиги. И да, по ощущениям, ЛПРы, которые это выкатывали, никогда не покупали ни то ни другое на своём... Read more ›
