  • Well yeah let’s elaborate on that. Merriam-Webster defines elitism as

    1. Leadership or ruled by an elite
    2. The selectivity of the elite
    3. Consciousness of being or belonging to an elite.

    That comment was suggesting open source tools while you’re posting in an open source social media platform in a community that is geared towards open source software. Please explain how that comment fits the definition above. It’s not elitist to assume that you’ve heard of git if you’re posting here. Someone suggesting something to you is not elitist just because it doesn’t work for you.

    I don’t think I’m better than you because I know git or nix, but I do know that in the right circumstances, knowing how to use git or nix is a very valuable tool. I would love to help you solve your problems with these tools if given the opportunity. When a member of the community finds a tool they love, they just want to help others and suggest what worked for them. You really think that’s elitist attitude?












  • Running Plex in a docker container will be your best bet. After installing docker you can run a docker compose file that has your /config folder mapped to a separate location. Here is a sample compose file from the linuxserver.io group, which I highly recommend.

    ---
    services:
      plex:
        image: lscr.io/linuxserver/plex:latest
        container_name: plex
        network_mode: host
        environment:
          - PUID=1000
          - PGID=1000
          - TZ=Etc/UTC
          - VERSION=docker
          - PLEX_CLAIM= #optional
        volumes:
          - /path/to/plex/library:/config
          - /path/to/tvseries:/tv
          - /path/to/movies:/movies
        restart: unless-stopped
    

    Pay special attention to the section marked “volumes” you’ll see the first line is a mapping for the plex config from the host to inside the container. The left side of the “:” is the path as the host sees it, the right side is from inside the container. You can use this compose file in each installation of linux to share your config and watch history as plex will always find it in the /config folder. That’s the beauty of containerization!

    That being said I wouldn’t run two containers at the same time. That could have unintended consequences as each may try to write to the same file at the same time. As long as only one instance of plex is using the config at a time you’ll be alright. You can find more info about the compose file here!

    If you have any questions, feel free to ask! 😁







  • It’s really not that hard to use a local account. When it askes for a Microsoft account just hit SHIFT+F10 then type in the command “oobe\bypassnro” and the pc will reboot. Now just don’t let the computer connect to internet, and when it askes for internet hit “I don’t have an internet connection” and then it will let you continue with a local account.

    …I admit though… as I typed that out its pretty annoying lol Not hard, but like… just annoying.
