Could be, dunno yet how to tell these things but the issue was a port was not open. Once opened the server was seen fine!

Hah! Apparently in the long list of UFW commands I was running, the first one didn't run or I missed it, can see the server now at least, just need it to see the files!
Entertaining but the wife is getting impatient :/

Thanks, I decided to see what happened with a Mint Install (Before I saw your reply) so as a Toe-in-water thing to learn more about the OS and see what stuff was like. I only Kitty into a Linux server for work and do some basic tasks on it occasionally so was interested.

An ... interesting experience... trivial install, easy enough to understand the UI, entirely failed to get a Plex server working though... Nothing on the network can see it (Local works fine) which doesn't make much difference because Plex has nothing to server since it can't see the folder with movies on it due to, I believe, ownership issues (The files are on a portable USB drive)

Still fiddling but most help documents descend into arcane command line arguments very quickly and are generally "wrong" in that they suggest editing files that don't exist in folders that aren't there.

Still.. a learning experience :) (Easy enough to kill it and tried Debian if I can't work out chown!

What part of this do you think is hard?

Not hard... essentially worthless however....

The articles are saying "Here is a list of almost all known versions of Linux, these are good for you to use" when you query what the best option is.... Hardly narrowing down anything. Likewise saying "Use your favorite.. then install the product you want to use" is also useless information if you are asking the question I was.. I have no favorite obviously since I know nothing about it.. and OBVIOUSLY I am going to install the produce I just asked about installing...

The pages I was looking at answered the question "How do I install Linux?" by saying "First, Install Linux"

Not to say there aren't better sources, but all the first ones I found where along that theme

Yeah Ubuntu came up in a few searches, I'll read more about that, Desktop was 25gb which was a bit excessive given the age of the PC, will look at server, ty

I can never watch this whole video, gives me ptsd every time.

Used to work with one of those project manager types, and when we got out of the meeting afterward, and I'd tell him what we just promised was impossible.

He'd just tell me to just "draw 2 red lines" which was all they really wanted and they'd never notice the rest of the stuff wasn't there.
He was usually right, but it was still stressful, the wilfully ignorance

Interesting site but not without flaws, first recipe I looked at was essentially just "use a off the shelf bottle of curry paste to make a curry and cook some rice. Cooking time 315 minutes"

Gonna check through it though, seemed to have a nice variety, with a lot of cultures listed

In the linked article they are arriving randomly. It takes 10 minutes per customer and they arrive every 10.3 minutes.

I use a technique where I play a scene out in my head. Always the same scene, always the same outcomes and the same process.

For example "Walking down a beach, see a small shell, pick it up, turn it over and notice the interesting pattern, put in pocket, go to the sea shell stored a few feet down the beach waving at a people, sell the shell, take the money and buy a small rock statue, take the statue home and place it on the window sill... etc"

The trick is make it memorable and not specifically related to your own life so you can't get side tracked subconsciously ("Oh no! I forgot to buy sea shells!!"). I find a narrative works well, and the whole thing tells a story.

The way to get started is when you are EXHAUSTED and ready to fall asleep anyway, and to repeat the same scene/steps every night from that point on. Eventually the series of images and events will tie to "sleep" in your mind and I rarely get past the first few parts of the sequence.

Essentially counting sheep! same idea really. After a while you may get bored of one story and make up another. I've gone though a half dozen over the years I guess.

Firefox, Android. Using jerboa on Android it doesn't happen

I see the same thing. My language is definitely set to English
