They have a sorta proprietary metadata service that is presumably based on imdb, thetvdb, etc. but they also handle detection and collection of metadata regardless of where the information ultimately comes from. It's nothing that Jellyfin doesn't do though.

I'm sticking with Plex since I have the lifetime pass too, but the writing's on the wall, I'm ready to switch to Jellyfin whenever Plex dies or ruins itself

    They provide the apps, metadata servers, and relay service. It's a lifetime pass. IMO that's worth the price it used to be, $70 or whatever. The new price is just absurd, they want you to pay periodically for life because people spend more that way.

    Some confusing notation here that buries the assumption that the rate of change is constant (which is true in this case). For conceptual clarity I would explain it as:

    Let y(t) be the boy's position at time t, and x(t) the girl's position. The distance between them is S = sqrt(x^(2) + y^(2)). The distance is changing at a rate of dS/dt = dS/dx dx/dt + dS/dy dy/dt = (xdx/dt + ydy/dt)/sqrt(x^(2) + y^(2)). We are given dy/dt = 5 and dx/dt = 1, and we can determine that at t=5 we have y = 25 and x = 5. Therefore dS/dt = 130/sqrt(650) = sqrt(26) ~= 5.1.

    Seems like a pretty basic security precaution to avoid loading decrypted secrets into memory before they're needed. Someone who can access application memory can already own you but there isn't really a good reason why they should be able to access secrets that you never accessed while they were in.

    I wouldn't say it's an alarming flaw, just seems weirdly and unnecessarily unsafe
