I needed to remember this today and maybe this helps some else out too!

Allow the server to use the repo her:

/etc/apt/sources.list.d/plexmediaserver.list

Run this command to edit

sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/plexmediaserver.list

and remove the # before the line of

#deb https://downloads.plex.tv/repo/deb/ public main

run the following to see if that worked and plex is recognized for update

sudo apt list --upgradebale

Then just

sudo apt update && apt upgrade or sudo apt update && upgrade plexmediaserver

I’ve been playing around with some of the new “deeper” thinking models. I enjoyed this output from ChatGPT DeepResearch so much, I figured I’d publish it here. Enjoy, for what it’s worth!

Introduction

Coffee has evolved from a generic commodity into an artisanal product celebrated for its diversity of origins and brewing methods. In modern specialty coffee culture – often called the “third wave” – single-origin coffee and meticulous pour-over brewing have become hallmarks of quality. This report explores the history and significance of single-origin coffee, the rise of pour-over brewing, key milestones in specialty coffee’s development, and why these trends are favored by enthusiasts.

Solution: Use a custom GPT to train on simple data and take advantage of the built-in photo recognition (OCR).

Maintaining a well stocked kitchen for a coffee shop is something I underestimated. It’s not complex, but it is very detail oriented and can have a lot of steps. Having an item out of stock can create a poor customer experience, and if the customer came just for that item, they might not come back.

For as long as I’ve been into coffee, I’ve been chasing the perfect technique for pour over coffee. Over time, I’ve started to dislike and call most coffee I brew at home “bad coffee.”

Over 15 years ago, I started brewing with the V60, maybe one of the most visual iconic brewing methods for coffee. This also happens to be one of the most temperamental brewing devices. It can extract the most wonderful and clean cup of coffee but if not dialed in precisely, the brew can swing wildly to over or under extracted.

“Working smarter, not harder” could be one way to describe my entire life. I always try to do things the “smart way.” Not necessarily to avoid hard work, but because I’ve always thought that was the way to success. Oftentimes, the smart way is more work than just doing the damn thing.

I have spent incredible amounts of time coding a tool to help me do something that took 3–5 times longer than just writing the document, provisioning a live stream, or simply writing the documentation. I get this dopamine hit, this crazy little rush when I have the idea of, “I know a faster/better way to do this!” It has been nearly impossible to avoid then doing that thing.
