Thank you for all that info! I appreciate it. Definitely furthers my goal of tech literacy. I’ve always been competent at using computers but don’t know much about anything more in depth.

Greatest technician already has my mothers toothbrush lol

That’s for my girlpla kit to the right of the mba. I just have the right leg to finish lol. It’s the Ludens kit made by Kojima and Kotobukia. Really great kit so far. No fitment issues yes and tons of features

You are awesome!!! That got everything working swimmingly well. Thank you sooo much

Ah, that’s my gunpla toothbrush. I build Japanese model kits and the toothbrush is great for getting dust and plastic residue out of paneling and corners

Luckily my mom is pretty open minded. Throw snoopy on it and she’ll like it lol

I personally use Fedora plasma on my thinkpad. Love it even though I’ve done like no customizing of it. I chose gnome for my parents cause I wanted a close out of the box experience…and I also wanted to play with Fedora workstation 43 before upgrading my plasma os

Overly cautious and slightly tech illiterate. I’m working on the latter though!

Oh that would be great if you could. I’d appreciate it!

Someone told me that too, lol. I’m learning all sorts today. Oh well. At least now I have Ethernet adapters for every sort of port

She’s starting off on the…right foot :) I still gotta finish her. Literally just haven’t done the right leg/foot armor

Oh the pain. You should’ve heard the accusations of someone else changing their passwords…somehow. Yet they’ll both bring up me bricking the fam computer dl linkin park from limewire…like 20+ years ago lol

I enabled the free and non free repos and entered

sudo dnf in broadcom-wl

That got everything working. I used the Ethernet method cause I am a noob and was not aware of using a flash drive until just now lol. Guess I got something else to learn

So this might be a good place to ask. How is a Trojan Proxy Server suited for anonymous piracy? Is it better or worse in case this passes?

Well, for starters thanks to everyone who replied so far. I really appreciate you taking time out of your day to try and help me.

Unfortunately while waiting I was playing around with my files and I noticed that I could no longer add, move, or edit folders on my external hdd(the one with the library content for Jellyfin). While initially setting up the server I could not find my external hdd in the files section of Jellyfin despite knowing the path. I looked it up and someone said it was to do with mounting and I needed to go into disks>mount options> and uncheck “User session Defaults” and check “Mount at system startup”. After doing such the path changed but I was able to get jellyfin to access the files. (Unfortunately this meant that my qbit no longer knew where said file were for seeding so I had to go through and point them to the drive…again). So i put 2 and 2 together and figured I did not have read write permission for the dive anymore. I did not know how to change such so I reverted my change in disks and now, obviously, jellyfin cant access the files but I cant change, move, and add my files again.

I also noticed while Jellyfin was actually working, On the server pc Jellyfin was extremely slow and laggy. And Many of my files were changed into random pieces of media that I did not own. I have my files separated into Eastern and Western. With further file groups in each like Anime>Scifi>Gundam>TurnA Gundam. I thought intuitive but maybe I’m the one at fault. It changed the data for Scifi into a single series called Scifi Harry with all my other files being episodes or seasons. It also did this with the entire parent file of Western, changing it into Western Line with a crazy image that I’m guessing is from the show/movie it is confusing my media with.

Overall I’m pretty frustrated and I might have to walk away from this project for a little. If anyone wants to add any info of tell me some obvious mistakes I made please do, I appreciate all the knowledge being passed around here. I’m still reading it all but I’m going to go build some Gunpla to take my mind off this for a few.

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!
