So, after many years of finally keeping it to myself and only few people I have had enough courage to confide to, I want to finally open up to the world outside. Middle aged, not so young anymore but not so old. Have had bouts of depression throughout my life but lately I am just morally and mentally destroyed. I have no more desire to do anything, all hobbies do not excite me anymore, I am in bad mood at all times. I am very social and friendly but lately going out is a struggle, and I really force myself to go see my friends. 3 years ago I got this cat who is my world now. I am telling you, she is literally my life saver. Without her I would have probably just ended it by now. I live alone and work from home. Few relatives that I have are far away across different states and coasts. I do have chronic joint pains, and they are probably exacerbated by depression. I’ve joined a local pool league to at least meet new friends and get out of house but lately it seems like a chore and I am considering quitting as I no longer have passion, desire and even patience with the game. Even if I win, I feel aggravated, and when I lose, well, I feel like it is the end of the world. And there is another thing. The social media, it is driving me insane. It started quite innocent and sweet. I like watching funny and cute animal reels. But lately my feed has been filled with news and videos of animal abuse. It is something that makes my blood boil. I cry all the time and barely get any sleep, and I am frustrated by the lack of accountability or leniency that these evil bastards enjoy. I am limiting my social media presence now but I still can’t forget the things I’ve read and seen. And, despite having a lot of friends and acquaintances, I am very very lonely. So, here I am, a man in my early 50’s who is depressed beyond anything I have ever felt before. Thanks for listening. It actually makes me feel a bit better just typing it out.

My Plex server is skipping some video files, it completely ignores them. When it comes to music, only about half of the content is added. Not sure what to do, I've been removing and readding, and rescanning. I've also noticed a new Collections tab. What exactly is it?

I have an issue. I am using KeepSolid VPN which works really really well. Got a life account for like $10 many years ago. However, qbittorrent refuses to work with any protocol except IKEv2. For anything else, I am getting on;y DHT nodes but no direct connection. I do set qbittorrent to the correct adapter that matches the VPN settings, otherwise i wouldn't be getting anything at all. Thanks for help.

Where do I start with it? I would like to have my training filmed on my Galaxy Tablet 15'' wich has a massive amount of space. The pool table is an 8 footer in my basement. What kind of a tripod would you recommend? What else would I need?

I started getting “upgrade” messages on my mobile device when I try to use the remaster feature. It says I need to be on the premiere or pro account and offers to buy a subscription. At the same time it acknowledges the fact that I am on the annual premiere plan. Works fine on a PC, though. But I wonder what the heck it is.
