Oh I get the concept. But 1.78 cups? My man walking around over here with a couple of grapefruits in a shopping bag lol

1.78 cups? Goddamn. Hold up a 1-cup measuring cup and tell me that isn’t ridiculous.

Bold of the report to assume the species will even be around in 229 years

Wow, what a ride of a comment. Thank you, TheFartographer’s Swampy Fun-Hole

Beard, ma’am? Finest in Jerusalem

I don’t mind suggestions at all, is there a reason to prefer one over the other? Is there Plex controversy? I just went with it because I had a buddy who used it years ago and I remember it being effective

This is baby’s first Linux and also plex server, so I have no idea what that is. But I’ll definitely look into that, it sounds really useful to be able to integrate the two

Yeah I want to do wired eventually, wifi is just a stopgap so I can phase out paid streaming asap without completely interrupting service for other people on my plans

I’ve heard VM’s aren’t ideal as well, so I’m trying to avoid it. If it ends up being needed though, this is good to know. Thanks!

Good to know I should avoid NVIDIA for Linux. The only NVIDIA card I have is on my gaming rig, so I don’t plan on having to deal with that since I’m sticking with Windows on that until (hopefully) more studios start caring about Linux compatibility. Can’t wait to cut that Microsoft umbilical cord permanently.

That said, do I need dedicated graphics on a Plex server? I was going to go integrated, but your comment made me realize I never checked hardware requirements. Which are probably on Plex’s website. Which I am now going to go check because Lemmy isn’t Google and it’s not your responsibility to hand me answers I can easily find.

Nope, not gonna be that guy today. Thanks lol

Oh I meant bandwidth for the Plex part, not the install. Yeah for an OS requiring less than 3 gigs of storage, if bandwidth is an issue in installation Plex should be off the table

Wired is a long-term goal for sure, I just can’t afford multiple streaming services any longer and wanted to give the people on my plans an alternative before unsubscribing. Not sure if being on the same network will help, hurt, or not affect it, but at this point it will probably hurt if anything. I know DL and UL are in separate “buckets” as far as bandwidth goes, but I don’t know enough about network structure to even reliably guess. It probably has to go through Plex anyways. My basic plan is implementing first and fixing problems as I find them, which is always the best plan right?

I think i just misunderstood how “DIY” Linux was and thought it came with essentially no drivers. I thought it was kind of like rooting an Android, you get more control in exchange for having to do everything yourself. I mistakenly lumped all drivers under “everything”

Ah okay. I just remember hearing that all your drivers need to be manually installed and updated in Linux, so for me that included ALL drivers, even basic ones like that. If I can get started wirelessly that would be perfect. Thanks!

Awesome, thanks for the tip. I’ll look into the hardware compatibility

Thanks for all the info. I have no comment since I need to watch like 3 youtube videos and spend another hour reading before I really understand that second paragraph, but I will definitely be referring back to it.

What I did pick up was that the kernel actually comes with basic hardware drivers, which is a huge relief. I have pretty standard wifi hardware on standby, so I can try that.

This looks like a great resource, but I’m going to go ahead and do it the hard way. Maybe for a first install, just to get the ball rolling, but I typically go the long way around so I can understand what I just did some more. Like when I bought my 3d printer unassembled, so I could learn about it as I put it together. I’ll bookmark the site though. If I’m currently biting off more than I can chew, I’ll probably end up using it. Thanks!

This is exactly what I was asking. I would be interested in hearing why wifi isn’t a good idea though. I didn’t think bandwidth would be too much of a problem, so is this a security concern?
