I’ve got a galaxy fold 4 that I pre-ordered, so over 2 years old. I’ve rocked it this whole time with no case and dropped it plenty of times. It’s got a couple of scratches on the hinge but has been the most solid phone I’ve ever owned. From my experience, your claims are simply not true.

Lol how funny. I was also very into modding the PSP growing up. I had a couple of Pandora batteries. The only reason I caught onto it was because my name is also Alex haha hello fellow Alex!

… are you the DaX from the PSP modding scene?!

Oh boy I went down this same rabbit hole awhile ago. Here is a git repository that will explain why this happens and also offers a fix on how to modify your IP tables to ensure that docker respects the UFW.

Docker and UFW

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! 😁

Honestly, I know Emby gets a lot of hate due to its background but this is why I enjoy it so much. The emby app for android is very well polished.

Which switch emulator do you use? I’m pretty savy with Linux and run it on my desktop but haven’t really taken the dive to set any of them up. Metroid has been calling my name lately and I’m thinking it’s now or never. Got any suggestions?

35k for a base Kia? Hell naw, I bought a fully loaded 2024 hyundai elentra hybrid for 34k out the door. Base Kia K4 is 22k plus tax title and reg. That’s like almost a third less than what I paid lol

It shouldn’t mess with your current routing but if you’re running other VPNs you may run into issues.

After you join the machines to the tailnet, each machine gets a new IP address ( only visible to other machines in the tailnet), by default it’s a 100.x.y.z you can check the tailnet for the device IP.

Now you can keep the port closed on your router and it will still be accessible over the usual lan ip and port. But when you want to access remotely, turn on tailscale and connect using the tailnet IP.

Another cool thing you can do with this setup is turn your home server into an exit node. By default it will only route things that are in the tailnet (100.x.y.z subnet). But if you turn your home server into an exit node you can funnel all your traffic back through the exit node. Instant free VPN back home!

Here you go friend, enjoy! 😁

Unencrypted HTTP can mean that anyone can see your traffic as it passes through their network. Your ISP will see that traffic. If you’re streaming pirated music and you’re in a country that cares about those things, might not go very well. From a security stand point though, you still wouldn’t want to trust the authentication on the open port. A vulnerability may exist that you don’t know about. It’s always better to keep them closed and add another layer or two between your home computer and the public.

Tailscale let’s you tunnel into your home network without opening any ports, and it encrypts the traffic. Much safer way of doing it.

Another tip, please be very careful when exposing ports to the public. With docker you’re already mitigating your attack surfaces but an open port allows anyone to make a connection and there are lots of bots out there looking for open ports and vulnerabilities. A good alternative would be to setup wireguard and instead then connect through that or if you like simplicity check out Tailscale.

Ha, ya know? I think I know some people who will just regurgitate whatever input they receive

Mullvad let’s you write down an account number on a piece of paper and mail it in with cash and they’ll activate it.

What do you mean? If it makes you feel any better, the Earth will be fine. Has been for a couple billion years. We did this to ourselves :(

Don’t, you can still install nix into Garuda. Works great as a separate package manager that won’t get in the way.

I think the problem is that most people dive right in and go to NixOS which has its quirks as a linux OS (see FHS). The Nix language is great at building and moving source code between computers, really any big collection of binaries. If you don’t do that, try just using the nix-shell command to instantly run a piece of software without installing it. You can write a shell.nix file to hop into and out of an environment with whatever software you need. Once you can write a couple .nix files then move onto NixOS; which after all is just a big collection of binaries.

Okay… one is closed sourced and the other open. That much I know. With those points out of the way, why is jellyfish superior?

What happened with Emby? I’ve used their service for a long time and have been very happy with their lifetime premium.

Feel better stranger!
