Except it sort of did though. Life was pretty different in the 90’s compared to the mid 2000’s.

You might be too if your wings were confined to a cage. It’s the ball and chain of the avian world.

Within reason. Long lived animals can get the same sort of neurological diseases that humans do, but without the advantage of language and healthcare.

It’s bad enough when Nana goes senile, but it’s even worse when all she can do is screech, claw, and bite at you, and there are no teams of professionals to help. That’s life with an elderly parrot.

PC died. Trying the legal options.

And fuck. I really miss plex. I’ve had Netflix and Hulu forever as family won’t let me cancel. Decided to sign up to Paramount + for some Trek. Twice in lower decks it didn’t save my watched episodes. Doesn’t mark episode as watched if you exit during the credits. And multiple playback issues....

Idk if I’m just lucky, but I’ve been running Plex on Linux for years without any major issue. Occasionally I had to hit things with a chmod, but that stopped being an issue after I changed a setting in qbittorrent, and that isn’t really Plex’s fault.

Rarely, if it is transcoding something and I pause for a long time, I may have to stop it and play it again to get the transcoder running again. It is a very minor issue that I barely ever think about unless I’m traveling.

Does it run differently on Windows or something?

Please chill with the nonsensical AI memes. This is the third one I’ve seen from you, and they’re all getting downvoted. Think before you post.

Because they actually make it themselves with quality ingredients.

I’ve never heard of a cocktail sauce made with mayo—are you thinking of horseradish?

I like all of these things.

Go figure—I looked up two recipes before I commented, and neither one had mayo. I guess it must be optional.

It took me an astoundingly long time to see it, and when I did, I wouldn’t have known it if it weren’t for the comments.

Who is typing on an Apple TV? The microphone works really well, and is designed to be the primary choice for searching.

Another thing with bookstack is that if your local IP changes for any reason, it breaks all the images and it is pretty frustrating to get them working again. They added a command to try to fix this, but I could never get it to work correctly.

I ended up switching to wiki.js and haven’t had a single problem since, but I do miss the super sleek look of bookstack sometimes.

No, Richard, it’s ‘Linux’, not ‘GNU/Linux’…GCC is a monumental achievement and has earned you, RMS, and the Free Software Foundation countless kudos and much appreciation.

Are you implying that this user is the real Richard Stallman? If that’s true, this thread just got 100x more hilarious.

Too bad—for a second there I thought he’d lost even more of his marbles.

Centralized User Management Like Plex for eBook Server

I’ve been trying out Kavita as an ebook software, and I really like it so far, with one exception. Accounts are all local to the app, and there is no ability handle user accounts through their site, similar to how Plex does it. This means that every time I screw up and have to set up again over the years, my users will have to...

Are jellyfin accounts handled through their own account system like Plex?

Over the years, as I’ve learned more and gotten better at things, I’ve occasionally had the need to try new Linux distros or remake a VM to fix a bigger problem that I’m not skilled enough to detangle yet. I could probably get away with backups and restores now, but Plex’s account management has saved my butt several times over the years, so I figured it was worth checking to see if there was something similar out there.

Have you tried the docker version? Works perfectly for me. Here’s my docker config if you want to give it a shot:

sudo docker run -d
–name=kavita
-e PUID=1000
-e PGID=1000
-e TZ=YOUR/TIMEZONE
-p 5000:5000
-v path/to/kavita/config/:/config
-v path/ro/kavita/ebooks/:/data
–restart unless-stopped
lscr.io/linuxserver/kavita:latest

Edit the time zone and volume paths as needed. You can just make a new volume for config and it will fill it with settings stuff, and then point the data volume to the folder with your ebooks.

The ebooks themselves need to be sorted a little differently depending on if they are PDF’s, ePub, or comics, but it isn’t to hard once you get the hang of it. Basically ePub likes to be in a subfolder and PDF likes to be in the root folder for some reason, otherwise it puts the PDF’s in a collection named after the subfolder.

Overall, I’ve been really happy with Kavita and think it has a lot of potential, especially as an ebook extension of Plex since the layout is nearly identical.

Docker Container Status Displays on Public Website

I have a home server with tech illiterate users (Tailscale/VPN won’t be a solution for them), and I’ve been setting up a little blog to keep them updated about content and status. I had an idea of setting up a server status page that displayed the running state of various docker containers so they could easily see if...

That’s what I was planning to do to configure it. Glad to hear that was the right plan.

And I’ll definitely check out homepage—thank you so much for your reply!
