  • The problem is that your stance is needlessly binary. Just because they were intended to “save the auto industry” doesn’t mean that they’re not also better for the environment.

    The narrative that the manufacturing of EV’s is just as bad as the pollution from ICE vehicles has long been debunked and even if you’re charging from home via the grid, that doesn’t mean it’s environmentally bad, the push towards renewable energy production is ongoing.

    The US is vastly behind the times but that’s not the fault of EVs. Take the UK for example, which is producing more and more green energy. It stopped burning coal years ago and regularly runs almost entirely on pure renewables. That means EV’s charging there are regularly being charged from renewables, even when pulling from the grid.

    It’s self hosting by the literal definition that you host the server yourself.

    That it’s closed source and sends all kinds of data to another server is an entirely separate (and valid) concern.

    As much as I agree with the concerns around Plex, I would rather we didn’t start gatekeeping the self hosting community with arbitrary requirements and grey lines around what is and isn’t “true self hosting” or whatever. I would far rather we inform people and let them make their own choices about what they want to host on their private devices and networks.
