Glad to hear you're feeling better! Best wishes to your dad, too.

My dad had a stroke in February, but fortunately only with mild after-effects.
He is recovering now, but his driver's license has been temporarily revoked, so
I do all shopping etc. for him for the time being.

Best regards

That would be tiresome enough for someone in good health, I would think much
more
so for someone with pneumonia. Be careful with that... that is what Kyle Busch
had before sepsis set in, and he was quite a few years younger than either of
us!

Hello All,

I apologize for my sudden abrupt disappearance. I had a relapse of my
pneumonia. I am much better now but am still struggling with a cough and some
mucus along with my seasonal allergies.

My dad has congestive heart failure and is looking at getting a bypass (or
three) soon. He is too weak to drive and I have been driving my parents all
over every day and that wears me out.

But I'm back. My health has improved considerably due to my insulin pump and
I'm feeling much better.

I see plexmediaserver at SBo (slackbuilds.org) but no other media server. Dan
could cheat, grab the .deb and run deb2tgz on it but that coes with risks
because debian's install sacripts are so bizarre these days.

I do use Slackware for many things, but also some other distros. I went
and checked, and I see it's available for Debian, that's probably what I
would use for it. Might actually give that a test run when a can get a
round tu-it.

Yes, I think all can agree on that. They're like cars I guess, everyone
has their own preferences.

And has likely expanded your storage capacity, too!

Yup there appears to be Emby compiled for different Linux flavours... I don't
see Slackware listed, I think thats what distro you're running?

It seems like none of these media-servers are perfect, theres definately some
quirks in Emby but learned to live with them and in some cases work around it.

I have also heard that type of thing - that Plex "phones home" to the
masters. Not sure what it sends or how often, but my setup is
small-time and I doubt anyone is interested. Haven't tried Emby but I
know it looks good. ;-) Not sure if it runs on Linux though, which is
a must for me. I've also looked at Jellyfin but don't like the
interface as much as Plex. In the end, they all work. :-)

If I remember a few years ago I was really leaning towards going Plex for all
my stuff until some article somewhere indicated it was snooping around with
your data. I can't remember where this was, if it was Slashdot or some other
weirdo nerdo site.

Not sure if it really was true, but saw enough people jump ship to Emby and be

Subject: Lifetime Plex Pass price increase

I got an email today from Plex to let me know about an upcoming price increase
for the Lifetime Plex Pass... This change takes effect on July 1, 2026 and
the price will go from the current $250 to $750.

Yep, that's a pretty significant change. Current Lifetime members are not
affected, and monthly/annual subscription pricing will not be changing.

If you've been thinking about getting the Lifetime Pass, probably a good idea
to do it soon... ;-)

For sale as is $15 + shipping. I can't guarantee this... It was working at
the last time I used it, but it might be flaking out. I'd suggest getting
this for parts and I'd accept a best offer bid.
