  • Basically Linux mint or bazzite is the system and how it’s organized while plasma is how I’m seeing that system represented and interacting with it in other words?

    Yup, seems like you got the gist of it!

    Obviously once you start reading documents on software you’ll start to understand it all better. Suggest reading into the Docker engine for self-hosting software on your network!


  • how does plasma and Debian fit in cus that stuff is ringing a bell.

    Distributions like Ubuntu, Kali Linux, Linux Mint are actually based off of Debian however, each distribution provides their own packages and typically have system files in different places, so packages made for Ubuntu may or may not work with Debian and vice-versa.

    Like plasma being separate than a distro

    KDE Plasma is a Desktop Environment (aka your desktop). When you install a Linux distro on your computer you’ll typically be given an option on which software you want to pre install. You’ll see software like GNOME, KDE Plasma, Xfce, Cinnamon, etc and by doing a little research into them you can pick the environment that suites you best.

    GNOME gave me MacOS vibes while KDE is more Windows.

    Edit; I should’ve mentioned you can choose to go headless without a GUI and only run the shell which saves a lot of resources.

    Hope this explains things easily!









  • I mean general concept is they all are suppose to talk to each other in some sort. Prowlarr will provide indexers to Radarr, Sonarr, Lidarr, etc (just going to call them the ARR’s) the ARR’s will associate the results of those indexers to TMDB/TVDB and whenever you decide to download something the ARR’s will communicate with your download/torrent client, once your download is complete the ARR’s will mark it as complete and move it to the directory/folder of your choosing making organization easy and let’s Jellyfin/Plex see the files in the way they should be shown. You can reverse proxy all these for security reasons or to avoid annoying ssl errors.

    Honestly to start I would say learn the docker engine & docker compose first.









  • I say it all the time however, people seem to hate to hear it.

    Google has a monopoly on the internet and at this point is too big to fail, if you ever install the No-Script add on to any web browser and block any of googles tracking related javascript you’ll notice a vast majority of websites simply no longer function.

    Whenever I bring up topics relating to digital privacy & security people seem to shrug it off and simply say “I’ve got nothing to hide”, it’s about setting a standard that people don’t want to be tracked and monitored like shrill 5 year olds.
