Plex is locking remote streaming behind a subscription in April

We are also changing how remote playback works for streaming personal media (that is, playback when not on the same local network as the server). The reality is that we need more resources to continue putting forth the best personal media experience, and as a result, we will no longer offer remote playback as a free feature. This—alongside the new Plex Pass pricing—will help provide those resources. This change will apply to the future release of our new Plex experience for mobile and other platforms.

Plex migration from Windows to Linux

Hey guys! Has anyone had success migrating a Plex server from Windows to Linux in recent years? I'm mostly concerned about losing watch history / users (having to reinvite).

I found this Reddit thread on the issue and it seemed like a simple copy and paste of the DB file. I attempted following both the official directions from their guide and from the Reddit post and ran into a SQLite DB error similar to what another user experienced in the Reddit thread:

soci::soci_error() that sqlite3 prepare failed..Error: Unable to set up server: sqlite3_statement_backend::prepare: file is not a database for SQL: PRAGMA cache_size=512 (N4soci10soci_errorE)

Has anyone done a migration in the recent years? Seems like something might have changed within the last few and this copy and paste of the DB file will not work anymore?

New atproto link aggregator Frontpage.fyi has launched.

Any thoughts? Seems interesting, looks like they're planning on developing communities as well.

It would be really interesting to see how this pans how and how it would affect the future of the Fediverse in general.

I would be really interested in seeing if an internal bridge to automatically translate their platform to ActivityPub will be built in order to federate with Lemmy Instances.
