  • Basic internet precautions: if you’re looking at a GitHub for a famous piece of software that has only 250 total downloads: double check the Url, read any commands before you run them and compare to documentation if you’re unfamiliar with a piece of one, if you run something in docker or similar containerization for any reason make sure you set the PUID and GUID of the containers to a user other than root or they’ll be root by default



  • even if you’re already logged in, apps do not find and recognize your local server without internet access.

    You set your server in those app’s settings to not use direct connect and thus they are being routed through Plex’s servers

    When you select your Plex libraries from the drop-down there are usually 2 options, one will be the local IP and say (direct), that’s always the best choice if you’re able

    I just turned off my Internet connection to my Chromecast and tested, no issues with accessing my media


  • who are familiar with technical terminology and several concepts and steps are left out and implied rather than explained.

    Said it before and I’ll say it again: had to manually install some software to make Steam tinker launch work, and the instructions for installing it were to download and prepare the GitHub folder, then “do the usual and move the completed file to …”

    Ive used git in the past and it still took me multiple minutes to figure out they meant the “make && build” command. Why was that so hard to fucking write??
