I haven’t used Plex in a while, but I presume it would go similarly to my Jellyfin migration this year.

I pulled out a 10 year old laptop from my pile of scrap, installed a light-weight Linux server that can run containers, and I’ve been running LinuxServer.io’s Jellyfin container on it. Updates are pretty easy and I don’t have to worry about cluttering the host box’s packages with dependencies that may or may not conflict with the other things I run in it.

If you have the time to figure out how to run apps in containers, I highly recommend doing so. There’s a lot of documentation for Docker, and Docker Compose files make managing the containers pretty easy.

I pull out a phin philter now and again for fun. I never buy robusta beans, but I do still like the phin. Watching the coffee drip down into a glass cup where I can see it slowly mix with some form of cream is pleasant and relaxing.

Oils generally don’t evaporate. You can change the type of filter to adjust the amount of oils in the cup. Paper filters remove much of the oil, metal filters allow oils to pass to the cup, and I think cotton filters are in a medium place.
