  • Well, the lazy answer is that if there’s a custom install mode, you don’t select the VC++ runtime components and just install the game.

  • Genuine question. Why doesn’t anyone Google their errors anymore? Or if you’re super lazy, copy pasting the screenshot into chatgpt or grok?

  • Wow, it’s a whole new level of f*cked up when Zuck collects more data than the Winnie the Pooh (DeepSeek). 😳

  • IMHO movies and other entertainment pieces should be judged/ranked based on how much they are pirated. Oscars-schmoscars!

  • Well that explains a lot… 🤦🏻‍♂️

  • 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.

  • Yup, good point. One can run a private instance for “selfish” reasons.

  • Get a free VPS from Oracle cloud in whatever region you want, run Wireguard on it. There, now you have a VPN that you control, and since it’s hosted by Oracle, and not a VPN company, there’s no way to “detect” it.

  • 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.

  • I went to dunkin’

    What did you expect? If you want a coffee, and not dirty asswater, go to an actual coffee shop.

  • Soon they’re gonna start using Widevine DRM to encrypt the Javascript required to access the search results. 🤦🏻‍♂️

  • The term “Nazi” has been overused so much, especially in US [identity] politics, that it’s losing (or has already lost) its meaning. When are we going to start calling elevator farts “genocide” and “nazism”? 🤷🏻‍♂️

    If the outrage is based on the screenshot of the comment above, I’d say that this is a typical example of “Swiss neutrality” with a touch of “I don’t give a flying f*ck about US politics because I don’t live in the US.” I don’t see how that makes you a nazi??

    I suspect I may be missing something here…

  • Have you looked at the mod_sftp for ProFTPd? It seems like ProFTPd is alive and well, despite its official site not supporting HTTPS! It seems like mod_sftp supports most of the SSH/SFTP-specific features, whereas ProFTPd may also offer additional features that complement the mod_sftp module. All in all, probably not a 100% match, and definitely not a drop-in replacement, but at least a seemingly viable/supported alternative?

  • Wow, that’s pretty shitty service, considering that renting a physical server is likely not a small client thing. I’m also floored that a rack PDU failure was not detected and acted upon more proactively by their datacenter operations team, and necessitated a ticket to be opened by you. OVH really does seem to be the Temu of colo/hosting providers. Yikes!

  • Make a plain text file under Apache somewhere with .php extension and stick the following into it:

     
        
    
    <?php phpinfo(); ?>
    
    
      

    Ctrl+F the word “memory” and see if anything looks off.

  • Well, they forked wireguard go… I say their seriousness will depend on:

    • how well they maintain their fork
    • whether or not they continue to offer their self-hosted tier

    I’ve been burned too many times by startups who gathered up some initial money from investors and then went all corpo once the money dried up.
