I'm counting down the days until they revoke all existing lifetime passes. With this change and the recent bitwarden price increases, we're definitely in the era of being squeezed for every dime from all sides.

Like many others, I bought the lifetime plex pass when it was relatively cheap but switched to jellyfin for personal use years ago. I keep plex running for family members but that'll stop as soon as the lifetime pass goes away.

The Bitwarden news is really disappointing. I thought they were me of the "good guys" but it seems that was only the first phase of enshittification. I quite like their services but I'm starting to make my migration plans. 1password seems pretty reputable and their prices are relatively stable.

I've learned to start looking at alternatives as soon as I get a whiff of venture capital near anything I rely on. I hope I'm wrong but this is probably just the start of the downfall of bitwarden.

I'm on vaultwarden for now and keeping an eye on aliasvault and passbolt.

Yeah, I use VaultWarden for my passwords, but Bitwarden for secret management. There are a lot options for secret management. If necessary I could just host OpenBao on my NAS.

No loyalty to any brand or service, ever. Take your dollars and your time and your effort to whoever deserves it most. That even includes open source software.

Loyalty to a brand or company never made sense to me. Its a relationship or a contract. As soon as they start breaking that contract screw em.

Before Plex, I was on XBMC (Kodi for the youngsters); I had moved to XMBC because PlayOn turned their "Lifetime License" to a third-tier option.

Same. And same.
