Thanks so much for the kind words on top of the invaluable info you’ve provided. You are a true gentle-person and a scholar

This dude is a wizard cause that was the exact “guide” I was using. I had to look over my shoulder for a sec lol

Well now I feel really dumb cause that is the exact guide I was using. Oh well, live and learn I guess. Thank you very much for educating me

I was so ill prepared I didn’t even know what docker was. I definitely jumped the gun on the media server lol. Eh, blessing in disguise since I’m now getting such info I guess. Thank y’all for being kind to an ignoramus

Yeah I really need to do more reading. My lack of knowledge on Linux is my main issue I think. Just jumped the gun to Linux like a month ago, played around in elementary for a bit and was like “now is the time to set up my media server”. Prob needed more time, reading, and texting but eh.

I appreciate the advice I’ve been getting here big time!

Thanks, I’ve been seeing that rec a lot recently. I’ll give that a try

Jellyfin server

I entered that and got a result of

No LSB modules are available Codename: circe

I’m sorry I’m a super noob but I think I see where I have to fix it. I just don’t know what version of Ubuntu is Elementary 8.0 is. I found a guide that says Ubuntu 20.04(focal) is 6.1(jolnir)

Again much appreciated. You amazing

I followed your guide and everything works perfectly now! Thanks so much. I hope you don’t mind if I ask you a follow up question since you seem wise in the ways of wizardry.

I’m hoping to make this old laptop a jellyfin server as well. And this may seem a dumb question but I’d be remiss not to ask. I’m planning to leave this plugged in all the time. I already turned off the sleep/suspend feature. Is it safe to keep the battery in? To remove the battery I’d have to open it up and remove it and I don’t know if it’s worth the hassle.

Again thanks for your previous advice and if you have the time to answer this double thanks

Thank you soooo much for the detailed reply! This sounds easy so I’m feeling a bit stupid now lol. I’m going to try this immediately!

I actually donate a lot, bout every two months for whole blood. I do it all the time so afterwards I feel no difference, maybe a sore arm if the phlebotomist wasn’t the best. If you go in with an empty stomach you might feel crappy and if you go in dehydrated they’ll struggle getting the blood… and you’ll feel pretty crappy.

I do it mostly for the civic duty of it all. Better to help when you can imo. Also there is a ton of data about donating blood being good for you. I’ve seen articles on it helping remove micro plastics and PFAS chemicals from the body. So hey, might as well
