hello, i have had a look at old posts and this seems to be a thing but not sure how to fix for non-docker setups. i'm running ubuntu. i got everything running fine, but once i added a plugin and some more music to my library (maybe shouldn't have done both at once), i got the following error logs:

I don't know why this would be caused by the plugin but i tried to disable it to check, and got internal server error. very confused. i've tested permissions on the music directory to no avail. all the existing music still shows up and plays, just not the new stuff. any ideas welcome.

firstly just want to say that i recognise that a LOT of people are struggling right now, through a lot of sneaky and shitty behaviour by the NDIA. however, i want to provide a tiny shred of hope for people!

since my tribunal case about 2.5 years ago, my plan has been continued twice. no shady ‘check in’, no new reports, no attempt to claw back my budget.

ironically, my use of the support i went to tribunal for has decreased, because i got what i needed lol. i am not using anywhere near the whole budget in any of the categories. this, coupled with the plethora of changes going on, probably helps with the agency just going ‘eh, whatever’ in my case - but it also makes me feel less pressured to ‘use it or lose it’.

i really hope this makes someone feel a bit less stressed and i hope that everyone who’s currently in the thick of applications and appeals and reviews gets the support they need!

is there somewhere around town that will give me money for a bricked laptop, phone, etc?

I have been using an apple TV since… forever. I’ve been slowly disentangling from the apple ecosystem and this seems like an easy next step. The only thing I use the apple TV for now is plex, one vimeo-based indie streamer, and youtube.

I have looked a little bit at Kodi, but I feel like there’s an even easier solution which is just playing through a browser - except I don’t want an entire keyboard and mouse on my couch.

I’ve seen xbox controller-sized keyboard and trackpad combos which would probably work nicely. Has anyone used one of these with a linux OS and found it bearable? Obviously will never be as smooth as a regular remote and TV, but…
