I know that you will

That’s why I don’t like most anime. There are some gems that don’t stoop that low, but the bar is ridiculously low for such a high rate of not meeting it

I don’t mind suggestions at all, is there a reason to prefer one over the other? Is there Plex controversy? I just went with it because I had a buddy who used it years ago and I remember it being effective

This is baby’s first Linux and also plex server, so I have no idea what that is. But I’ll definitely look into that, it sounds really useful to be able to integrate the two

Yeah I want to do wired eventually, wifi is just a stopgap so I can phase out paid streaming asap without completely interrupting service for other people on my plans

I’ve heard VM’s aren’t ideal as well, so I’m trying to avoid it. If it ends up being needed though, this is good to know. Thanks!

Good to know I should avoid NVIDIA for Linux. The only NVIDIA card I have is on my gaming rig, so I don’t plan on having to deal with that since I’m sticking with Windows on that until (hopefully) more studios start caring about Linux compatibility. Can’t wait to cut that Microsoft umbilical cord permanently.

That said, do I need dedicated graphics on a Plex server? I was going to go integrated, but your comment made me realize I never checked hardware requirements. Which are probably on Plex’s website. Which I am now going to go check because Lemmy isn’t Google and it’s not your responsibility to hand me answers I can easily find.

Nope, not gonna be that guy today. Thanks lol

Oh I meant bandwidth for the Plex part, not the install. Yeah for an OS requiring less than 3 gigs of storage, if bandwidth is an issue in installation Plex should be off the table

Wired is a long-term goal for sure, I just can’t afford multiple streaming services any longer and wanted to give the people on my plans an alternative before unsubscribing. Not sure if being on the same network will help, hurt, or not affect it, but at this point it will probably hurt if anything. I know DL and UL are in separate “buckets” as far as bandwidth goes, but I don’t know enough about network structure to even reliably guess. It probably has to go through Plex anyways. My basic plan is implementing first and fixing problems as I find them, which is always the best plan right?

I think i just misunderstood how “DIY” Linux was and thought it came with essentially no drivers. I thought it was kind of like rooting an Android, you get more control in exchange for having to do everything yourself. I mistakenly lumped all drivers under “everything”

Ah okay. I just remember hearing that all your drivers need to be manually installed and updated in Linux, so for me that included ALL drivers, even basic ones like that. If I can get started wirelessly that would be perfect. Thanks!

Awesome, thanks for the tip. I’ll look into the hardware compatibility

Thanks for all the info. I have no comment since I need to watch like 3 youtube videos and spend another hour reading before I really understand that second paragraph, but I will definitely be referring back to it.

What I did pick up was that the kernel actually comes with basic hardware drivers, which is a huge relief. I have pretty standard wifi hardware on standby, so I can try that.

This looks like a great resource, but I’m going to go ahead and do it the hard way. Maybe for a first install, just to get the ball rolling, but I typically go the long way around so I can understand what I just did some more. Like when I bought my 3d printer unassembled, so I could learn about it as I put it together. I’ll bookmark the site though. If I’m currently biting off more than I can chew, I’ll probably end up using it. Thanks!

This is exactly what I was asking. I would be interested in hearing why wifi isn’t a good idea though. I didn’t think bandwidth would be too much of a problem, so is this a security concern?

Haha while I agree with you on a lot of what you said, I was more restating your response than asking you personally. But I do enjoy the insight.

I think empathy is the only way we can survive. Intelligence got us here, but it won’t keep us here. If we want to survive, I think we need to use empathy to temper our ambitions. Otherwise, the people in charge will end up ruling over a smoking mountain of shit.

Also, it was asked 6 (7?) days ago. Maybe your client has a delay of some kind? At least that’s how it looks on my end. I’m using Boost if that means anything.

Much simpler than my explanation: Are you cynical or optimistic about humanity’s moral nature?

Answer: Faith in humanity is used to express hope (or lack thereof) in our ability as a species to be good or thrive. If you see something that makes you “lose hope for humanity,” it is usually a cruel or malicious act that makes one question whether we as a species will survive, or at least have a good impact while we’re here. Things that give hope for humanity are usually altruistic acts that make people think “we just might be alright.” If you think humanity is a dumpster fire of shitty people and we are inevitably going to bomb ourselves to extinction, you’ve lost faith in humanity. If you think people are good in their core and, as bad as the bad apples are, we are generally good to each other, if you think that we can build something greater than we are now and are going to be alright, you have faith in humanity. These statements are generally made in hyperbole to express how one is feeling in the moment, and usually isn’t a description of a more permanent state of thinking. At least not colloquially.

As far as origin, no clue.
