  • yeah small companies are scared of it so they all use that cookie notice. i am from slovenia and i reported a few of those websites that literally steal your personal info off a linkedin and sell it in a “business yellow pages” or something. i got so many scam or spam phonecalls selling me all sort of stupid services, practically daily for a while. i reported it to our GDRP inspector or whatever they’re called, some sort of representative to EU’s inspector and they said there is nothing they can do.

    i didn’t do quite the full procedure. you’re supposed to send the company a snail mail notice first and then after a month if they don’t comply you’re supposed to fill out some official forms. I just emailed them and complained that i can’t even find their registered addresses.

    perhaps if i’d done the whole procedure, they could’ve purse it further but i doubt it since those are companies registered in all sorts of tax havens, like panama or curacao. how is slovenian authority or EU one going to purse some fake company from panama?

    and then you have big conglomerates like facebook or twitter who literally rather pay a few million fine and sell data to advertisers than comply and make zero with it or even lose money with compliance.



  • I never got the appeal of plex. I’ve been using Serviio back in the day and it was free, open source and did what I needed it to, which is play a video on tv, that’s it.

    Plex wanted me to purchase subscription years ago and I couldn’t for the life of me figure it out how to set it up for free.

    I’ve been using stremio for a few years now but i think it’s closing in on the EOL as well, so i might go back to serviio and kodi one of these days. Just need a good NAS that could run a streaming server as well. Don’t want to keep my gaming rig on at all times just to watch movies.
