The error sounds like your sqlite database file is borked, misplaced or not named correctly. Make sure to shut down Plex on the source Windows machine fully before copying it over. Also make sure the path to the database file is valid - not sure where Plex stores that. Also keep in mind that Linux paths and file names are cAsE SenSiTiVE, so if your db file was named “Plex.db” on Windows, and the Linux version of Plex expects “plex.db” - you will get an error.

Other issues to anticipate related to file/directory naming: library/metadata paths. You may need to redefine/rescan all your media libraries to fix that depending on how Plex handles transitions between platforms that use different path separators (Windows = \ and Linux/macOS = /) and case sensitivity (Windows and macOS = case INsensitive and Linux = case sensitive).

Also consider a DB backup/restore (feature built into Plex) may be a better way to transition vs. just copying the DB file over.

If you’re feeling adventurous, you can download a SQLite browser and take a peek at the Plex DB file. See if there are any red flags like paths to libraries that include Windows specific stuff like drive letters. That will probably break in Linux if just copied over. The backup/restore feature may account for that and actually try to take care of the differences… but that’s just a guess; I never tried this and have no experience with it.

Note: I never bothered to run Plex on anything other than Linux.

P.S. some here suggested using Docker (or Podman - probably better in the long run) to deploy Plex. I strongly recommend that option as well, since it abstracts a lot of the nuts and bolts that you no longer need to care about.

Not to sound dismissive, but this post is such a perfectly phrased AI prompt. 😂

Are you looking for an SSH client specifically? Given the price tag, you’re likely in iOS/iPadOS, in which case I suggest Shelly: https://apps.apple.com/ca/app/shelly-ssh-client/id989642999 It’s only 5 Canuckistani copecs ($5CAD) one time “tip” to the author to unlock “premium” mode which includes iCloud sync of profiles. Note that keys and passwords are not synced (that’s probably a good thing: keys don’t leave your device).

For a cross-platform option, Termius will do everything you want and more. It is a recurring subscription though. Note that it’s part of the Github student pack, so if you have a university/college email, you can sign up for that and get your pro subscription for free.

I think garbage collection is a thing that needs to be run on a regular basis. If you’re using the community edition of Seafile, you’ll need to shut down its services and run an offline garbage collection. If you get a pro license (I think up to 3 users are free), you can run the garbage collection online, i.e. without shutting down the service.

The author has a Master’s in informatics. That’s pretty much like an MBA. I wouldn’t expect more than buzzword-bingo from someone like that.

Whoah, isn’t FUTO the non-profit that Louis Rossmann works for? This is great news!!

If this is their attitude to a clear self-inflicted fuckup, then that’s plenty reason for me to avoid them and their services. It’s not like their services were distinct in any way… just a dime in a dozen cloud provider.

Google reminds me more and more of Microsoft of the 90s. That’s exactly the kind of compatibility breaking asinine move MS would do 30 years ago. Sigh…

Interactive (i.e. end-users) Clients should be using OAuth instead of app passwords. This will allow your users to use their own Office365 credentials for SMTP.

For servers and non-interactive clients (e.g. copiers/printers/toasters/coffee makers) I would suggest something along the lines here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/exchange/mail-flow-best-practices/how-to-set-up-a-multifunction-device-or-application-to-send-email-using-microsoft-365-or-office-365#compare-the-options

“I wanted to see shit blow up!” 😂 I hear ya.

Here’s another video demonstrating the effect of an MRI magnet on non-ferromagnetic metals (aluminum in this case).

I was actually confused about your response to grahamsz@kbin.social… it seems like they have at least a basic understanding of how registrars vs. DNS hosts work.

WHOIS privacy? Porkbun does that for free for all TLDs that support it.

I don’t think I fully understand how what they offer isn’t “ownership by proxy”. I suppose they promise not to release your info if police ask for it? On the other hand, they technically own the domains you register through them, so if they get repossessed (e.g. through legal bankruptcy proceedings), whoever their new owner is, will presumably also own your domains…

I’m probably not seeing something here, but this all sounds sketchy to me.

Cloudflare sells domains at cost. So yes, cheaper than any other registrar (including NameCheap and Porkbun), except maybe those who sell domains at a loss as a promo to rope you in and then kill you on the renewals.

Integration into their stack is a nice side effect, but really inconsequential. You can have your domains registered with any registrar and have your DNS hosted by any DNS hosting provider. Heck, you can run your own DNS servers if you want to.

Technically they won’t. They won’t host OpenNIC TLDs, for example. However, you can have your domain registered with any registrar, and as long as you specify Cloudflare’s assigned DNS servers for your domain (DNSSEC records can be set too), you should be OK.

Huh? You mean you can’t separate the domain registrar from your DNS service provider?

I have my .ca domains on Porkbun, but DNS is hosted through Cloudflare. Porkbun supports DNSSEC records as well, so that’s not really an issue, just a few extra steps.

My order of preference for domain registrars is:

1. Cloudflare (doesn’t support all TLDs, unfortunately)
2. Porkbun (does have wide TLD support, and has no-bullshit pricing, albeit higher than Cloudflare)
3. Namecheap. They’re cheap and Canadian… no other reason than just a backup to have.
