The URL to search for packages in Ubuntu for example hasn't changed to my knowledge. Are you assuming it's only looking for packages in releases that were current at the time?
They mention being a teenager then, so a lot of their feelings might come down to "it was fun being a teenager" sprinkled with some effects of late stage capitalism.

Seerr can use Plex accounts, assuming people are using OPs Plex library, there's no new accounts needed to be made.
> OP brought the request service to where his friends already were ...
Another thing Seerr can do is scan the watch lists of any connected Plex accounts, so assuming the friends are already using Plex, they'd already have access to it.

Wasn't that a thing LLMs were supposed to help with?
Do Linux users actually use Homebrew day to day? My impression of it was that it's mostly for MacOS users that want to keep doing things the same way instead of learning the Linux way (using the OS package manager).
Ohh yes, a minority of us do exist. I prefer it over appimages on my personal pc. Gets you almost rolling release software without needing to use a rolling release. I used to use distrobox with arch Linux on pop os base, but then just gave homebrew and nix a try to scratch the itch.
Nix is not there yet in terms of user friendliness. homebrew for linux is pretty awesome.
Only issue i have is that it creates a separate user and doesn’t support custom prefixes (their page says you are on your own if using custom prefixes). While their reasoning is sound, not having an easy way to know which programs will break if using custom prefix is a bummer for me at work.
I have for a while yeah. As mentioned it means the distro packages don't matter for a lot of developer tools / CLIs. Wanna use a stable Debian / Ubuntu LTS for years? Want to use rolling releases so your desktop is up to date? Homebrew's got you covered.
In bazzite/Fedora Silverblue, it's the expected way non-GUI packages are installed to the host system. The other way is toolbox/distrobox (rootless containers tightly integrated with the host).
It's nicer to use than Sonarr / Radarr, and a single interface for people to learn. It has suggestions for people that need that. There's also MCP for it, so instead of setting up N MCPs for Sonarr / Radarr / The Next Arr, you set one up for Seerr.
You can also link people's Plex Watchlist. So the whole request / add to Sonarr/Radarr can be done from anywhere they use Plex.
I'll have to check it out again. Last time I tried, the got integration didn't work when connecting to a remote SSH server, and ports couldn't be mapped at runtime.
Had to shut everything down, list the port, and then reconnect. A big pain when other tools just automatically figure out what needs to be forwarded, or just let you specify arbitrary ports at runtime.
