  • Just because its free doesn’t mean it isn’t an ad.

    Also, don’t kid yourself, it’s freemium. Making open source projects like this and then having a paid tier is a VERY common business strategy. Again, this isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but be honest about what you’re doing at least.

    At this point you’re really just embarrassing yourself. Delete this entire post and save yourself from the bad publicity.

    Edit:

  • I think you don’t understand how advertising works. This is an obvious ad, which is fine, but the fact is, it is very low effort.

    Why would anyone click an ad just based on a name of a product alone? It could be propaganda, a Rick Roll, or a 30minute video that takes 15min to explain what it is, and then I find out it’s something I don’t want anyway. Huge waste of time for everyone.

    Refusing to explain what this is, and insisting people click your link is very obviously a weak attempt to raise the video’s view count.

    What you should do instead is explain what it is, why its different than other alternatives, and only then encourage users who want to learn more.

    A lot of good information here so I’ll add something a little different:

    Do Not open any services to the internet, such as for remote access, until you are sure about what you are doing. Doing something like opening a port so you can watch Jellyfin anywhere sounds great, but doing it wrong pokes a huge security hole in your infrastructure.

    Keep everything in your local network until you have a secure remote access setup. Even your home network may be untrustworthy if you’ve got things like IoT devices or compromised operating systems.

    I forward emails to my paperless address, and never thought of using drag/drop. How does this work for you? I remember having trouble getting paperless to see emails that were already read, or otherwise it would constantly try to reupload the same files. Do you watch a specific folder and then have paperless move to a different folder on consumption?

    Sounds like OP does something similar to what I do. They setup different email inboxes or catchalls for different services, then as email comes in it gets forwarded to paperless for OCR/search maybe?

    I do this with paperless-ngx, where I forward some emails to a dedicated address that paperless watches. But I do this manually with emails that have important PDFs attached.

    I’m not sure what the benefit is of automatically forwarding everything to paperless. Seems like duplicating emails unnecessarily, when email clients already have search/folder functions. Also email servers have mail rules so they can be sorted based on sender/recipient/subject/etc…
