Not super active, but I found some of the articles pretty useful (recently the fixing of incorrect addedAt timestamps in Plex helped me out), so I wanted to leave a link to it here: FWIW in my case I’m running Plex in a Docker container, so I connected to it with docker exec -it plex…

Avoid collisions in ~/bin
I have not actually run into this issue myself yet, but the idea of prefixing all your own ~/bin commands with a comma (as presented in this article) seems a decent one. So I’m posting this here as a reminder to self, in case I do need to use this idea later.
