I love the PA! Beautiful cock!

Thanks for your response! I’m a novice to most of this. Everything on my server is a physical disk that I have in my physical possession. I used MakeMKV to digitize all of it, and it takes up a ton of space. My current Plex server can transcode 10-12 users without any issues.

I installed Docker for Windows and spent weeks trying to get a NextCloud server running, with no luck, reading everything I could find. I finally signed up for a turnkey server in the EU for a reasonable price but the lag was unbearable, so I thanked them and canceled. I'm a complete newb with anything that is non-local. I've spent weeks finding workarounds for closed-source, out-of-business P:OS systems

I currently have 90Tb of libraries shared via a Windows server. I've been using Mediasonic hard drive enclosures with 8 or 16Tb drives and Windows/Intel storage spaces for 4 drives for the "Movies" library, 8 drives for the "TV" library, and another 4 drives for "Photos" and other random NAS. I literally only share with family, but, that's still about 12 users across the US due to school. I have a stable 1000/1000Mb fiber connection that has been working perfectly for the past few years. So, my issue now is, I want to host my own Lemmy, Matrix, and NextCloud servers, but they all seem to need a Linux-based server. I've read in the past that Linux Plex servers run into a lot of issues since it was designed to run on Windows. I'm not averse to buying yet another computer, but, before I do that I thought I would seek some advice if I should combine everything into one Linux server, or leave Plex as its own Windows server and put everything else on a new device.

Well, Plex is a media server 1st and foremost. I've never heard of Infuse before, so I did a search and from what I read it is just an iOS media player that can pull from multiple servers (including Plex.) So, I use Plex to manage all of my media and they have native apps for pretty much everywhere including smart TV's, Andriod, iPhone, Windows, Linux, Mac, gaming systems, and a web player. I am currently looking into FOSS alternatives, but for the past 10 years Plex has been the best for my needs.

What I have learned to say is "I understand this is new and confusing; however, don't stress out, I was probably more confused than you are when I first learned this." It throws them off a bit, because they think you're the expert, and it clicks that you had to learn it too. If they probe deeper into why it was hard for me, I explain that I'm so used to how things are supposed to work, I have to step back and see how things can work.

I'd say they have been doing it longer or are familiar with the underlying knowledgebase, so it seems to come easily to them.

Someone who has never used a modern computer before will think that someone who has been learning and adapting since Windows 3.1 would look like a genius. Even if all they know is how to do basic tasks and navigation.

Forgetting everything that's happened so far, and taking that statement at face value... That is exactly how things should have always worked...

Make *****, get eXpOsUrE. How in the hell did the internet turn into we pay for access; we use it to socialize, share art, ideas, answers, make connections. And now they are not only making money selling our data, but we're expected to pay for their crap content they scraped from our own data?

I think you forgot a crucial step... Bots steal actual content, then direct other bots to down vote and report said original content, and then direct said bots to upvote the stolen content.

No. I am willing to ignore a lot of idiotic crap on the internet. But no, you cannot compare literal lives lost to a stupid Reddit bot.

In their FAQ nothing is sent to the recepient until the letter is sent. This seems like such a great service until you realize email providers, and addresses aren't permanent.

I've been with my husband 20+ years, I had 10+ email addresses when we met, and so did he. I love the idea, but wish there was a non-digital option for these things.

Digitally, if we could register a non-first-level domain for 40-50 years we could set up our own family email severs, with scheduled messages.

These bushes have been here for about 20 years, this is the best they've ever looked. Granted they get a ton more sun now that wind storms took out most of our trees.

Velvet Hippos Have Been My Life for 9/40 Years. The more images of them being lazy, loving and beautiful the better! I have 1k+ of my babies from the past 30+ years, but don't want to spam/or overload the instance.

 

I just wiped and deleted all my Reddit accounts. Lemmy is my new online home.
