I used to use cliget some years back. Quite a bit, IIRC. Long story short: company customer support portal, downloads would sometimes time out. Installing and using cliget saved me from many fistfuls of hair ripped from my head.

I’ve got Plex running on 2 non-Windows systems: Raspberry Pi (Linux Docker container) and TrueNAS (FreeBSD jail). No issues.
If I could suggest something…
Try setting up a Linux VM on Windows. I’m not a Windows guy, so you might need to research how to do this. My go-to would be VirtualBox; I don’t know if Hyper-V supports non-Windows VMs, and I’m not intimately familiar with setting up WSL.
Going the VM route will let you kick the Linux tires without committing to more hardware. Or, you could get a Raspberry Pi. External USB drive optional, since you should be able to configure Windows to share your library over the network and just have your Pi mount it.
Running everything via docker solves both problems no matter which OS you choose since the underlying OS doesn’t matter.
Yes, but also no.
Long story short: you can’t run Windows containers on Linux. And to run Linux containers on Windows requires essentially running Linux on Windows, and then the Docker engine on Linux. (See also: running Linux containers on OS X.)
There do exist multi-arch container images, but that’s the result of proper planning. One example: https://hub.docker.com/_/hello-world

Is this where you come for an argument?
I tried Joplin for a little while, after having tried others. Found myself going back to VSC with Markdown preview.
But once I tried Obsidian? Aww yiss.
The first I’d heard of Obsidian was at the same time I heard about the Zettelkasten method. Which was thanks to having stumbled across this video: The FUN and EFFICIENT note-taking system I use in my PhD
It’s been a while since I watched it, so my apologies for not being able to give a TLDW summary.
Since adopting it for myself, I’ve found out that an old semi-retired dev friend, as well as a younger dev that actively contributes to at least 2 projects on GitHub (both popular) are keen users of Obsidian.
The best analogy I’ve found so far is “it’s like having an email address; having a different server after the @ is not an impediment to your participation. Just know that you can only login to the server where your account is set up.”
Sir Lancelot and Brother Maynard enter the scene
I’ve been using Signal for what seems like years now.
I’ve got 4 contacts (5 if you include a martial arts school I no longer attend), and only char with 2 of them regularly: my brother and sister.
I’ve downloaded and installed Briar, Session, and Simplex, and keep meaning to test them out with the help of my wife ('s phone) to see what they’re like.

“The call is coming from inside the house”
New to Connect. Is there a GitHub repo where folks can submit issues and PR’s?
“Who’s he when he’s at home?” would fit here.
Also: meh
No helpful thoughts, just had to comment on “big booty json file” 😅
Now I can’t think of a large JSON file without wondering if it has a donk.
E: “now in BBJF format”
Dumb question, but how were you able to determine that? Was it just a matter of seeing a post that originated from there (which would be my clumsy approach), or is there a tool/site that facilitates this?
I had weirdness when I tried to upload a pic using Brave on Android. Got the upload dialog, but no matter what it didn’t seem to do anything after I’d selected the image to upload.
Hit Submit, and suddenly there it was.
I’ll have to try this again using Firefox.
I misread your post initially. I though you had used one of the tools to delete all your posts, and got the “your account has been deactivated”.
Yes. Like others have said, the content hasn’t quite caught up in volume or diversity.
But I think another factor is that when I fire up Lemmy, it feels like r/all in that I’m getting everything. There seem to be quite a number of meme-themed
subredditscommunities that dominate my All feed. Now that I think about it, I should probably make the effort to block those; I’ve made that effort on kbin.In a way, I think it might be nice to have something equivalent to r/popular, fwiw.
Minor nit: “community” (“magazine” on kbin) doesn’t have the same ‘zing’ as “subreddit”. We need something like “sublemmy” or “sublem”.
