  ordered a “new” PC to take over plex responsibilities. The old XPS is starting to show its age. Heres my question, do I go Linux? Or stick to win 11? I’ve heard Linux performance is a lot better, but my experince is pretty limited to a few Ubuntu Distros. The other challenege is my library sits on a 12tb internal drive on the XPS. Is Ubuntu going to be ok reading off what I assume is NTFS?

    win 11 is such a cluster of bullshit the hassle of setup is gonna be about the same, but the nix box isn’t going to rape its own hardware to death and snitch on you for mp3’s

      I booted 11 because it was installed and just to make sure the desktop runs (and I new how to review system specs on windows easier). Having to use OOBE to bypass account creation requirements is such bullshit.

    Yes Ubuntu can read NTFS. And yes, I’ve found Plex runs happily on low spec Linux machines. Running mine on an Ubuntu VM with 2GB ram allocated quite happily.

    Plex install on Linux is very easy from memory.

      any special deployment of Ubuntu required as far as drivers go? I know you can just chuck it on from a live USB but I’ve never actually optimized anything. Frankly, it runs like crap on Windows.

      I’m literally running Plex on a Synology DS220+ NAS with all the usual addons in docker containers. I only use it locally and have had zero issues (Besides it getting laggy when downloading from Usenet at nearly 1gbps but I’ll give that a pass)

    I put Debian on my optiplex with xfce as the desktop environment and it uses less than a gig at idle. Debian’s great too because it has a slow update cycle so you don’t need to worry about anything breaking. You could set Plex to autostart so you never actually see the OS, then you have free extra RAM from using a lighter system

      I was just reading about the whole snaps debate. No experience with Debian but I might give Mint a go. Sounds like its the darling child these days.

  Melbcat has been vomming again so is once more being force fed elixir of narnies, and I’m doing a lot of washing/carpet cleaning.

  Also cleaning in chunks for an inspection. I’m so exhausted and keep crashing. I will probably end up just shoving a lot of things in cupboards if they fit.

  There is good news though. I asked the vet about D-Mannose (which is used for utis in humans). I’d bought a bottle since Melbcat is developing resistances but haven’t been game to try it yet because I don’t know the dose for cats.

  He said he’d have to research but I did see what he pulled up on the screen and google it later… he’d found a relatively new article I may or may not have seen saying it had been found helpful as a preventative measure in cats and dogs.

  But what I really need to know is the dose. Too much can cause problems. I need to email and see if he’s found anything else.

  I saw Vampire Survivors has a local coop mode now. I’m going to try it out with my girlfriend soon, and it sounds like a good excuse to get addicted again and get a friend hooked too

    I can’t figure out how this works. Possibly because I’m on a phone? Can see multiplayer in settings but nowhere to use it.

    • Duenan@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      With a phone, apparently you’re meant to connect bluetooth controllers to the device to enable multiplayer I think.

      I haven’t booted it up to check. I noticed it had the local coop community tag and there’s an announcement on the product page about it

  Oh damn… turns out while I knew I was near one bad spot, I’m actually right between two. On a busy highway per se. No wonder I’ve been getting a lot of grief.

  Even with how much I keep to myself and mind my own it was unavoidable.

  I have now come to realise that it takes about 4 years of early mornings to ruin my usual sleep schedule. No matter how late I sleep, how tired/exhausted I am or whether it’s a day off, unless I’m unusually unwell, I cannot sleep in the same way I used to.

  This is an annoying revelation. Even napping, which I do very poorly, is worse now.

  I need to find a way around this. I need more hours.

    You have to find your natural sleep length. For most people it’s between 7 - 9 hrs. Food, alcohol, caffeine even water plays a big part in how well we sleep. Higher the stress level the shittier the sleep, the tired we are during the day.

  Had to do a “Criteria” assessment for one of the jobs I’m interviewing for - interesting insights! I don’t agree to what it’s said on some things, but I did answer trying to be in a strictly current role mindset, but also remembering what my current workplace has some… quirks.
