I work in retail, but my homelab isn’t super extensive just a nas, a Plex server, and a couple proxmox boxes.
Closet I’ve ever come to being in IT was back when I was still in college and took some a networking class and some web development classes but that was many moons ago.
Yeah the support is what pulls me to them but anymore unless I need the form factor of the pi it’s hard to justify them. Like the only place I see a hobbyist use for the Pi is 3d printers. Outside of that everything else seems like a small form factor desktop is better.
This the route I went too, a couple years ago I found a tiny form factor Lenovo with a 6500t on eBay for a little under 70 bucks shipped and then I found a tiny Dell with a 9500t on my local Craigslist for 100 bucks.
They’re good little boxes.
Latency isn’t the only issue.
it’s slow, symbolic and hard linking don’t work correctly, and permissions and attributes aren’t recorded.
Technically YouTube exists because three horny nerds wanted a dating site with video integration. It only turned into a video sharing site when they realized they couldn’t find the clip of the Janet Jackson wardrobe malfunction and they decided they wanted to build that platform instead.
Like is it capable of that sure, could you actually do that with a modern tamagotchi, probably not.
Fun fact about tamigotchis, a couple years ago I was looking up if they still made them and I ran across something talking about the tech in modern versions and apparently the newest version of them at the time was running a variant of the MOS6502 microprocessor. This is the same microprocessor that Commodore used a variant of in the Commodore 64.
I see on occasion people talking about the lack of flights across the southern hemisphere as being proof, very similar concept.
Thanks for believing in me child.
Piracy has never been theft, it has always been and still remain copyright infringement. That being said go ahead and pirate, I’m not your dad.
I didn’t even know jellyfin had hw transcode till this post but I’m with this guy, Intel’s qsv is great. I have my plex server running bare metal on an gen 2 HP chromebox. It’s dual core but hw transcode with Intel QSV will do like 20+ 1080p streams.
Why not, it’s streets ahead
Yeah but like outside of this AI image have you ever seen a rusty DeLorean?
Ehhh if it didn’t land on anything hard it shouldn’t be surprising it wasn’t damaged. I used to work at an amusement park in the mid '00s and have personally seen those shitty disposable cameras fall hundreds of feet off rollercoasters into bushes and survive unscathed.
You’re probably more likely to see ads from brands you follow but there’s no way in hell you get less ads if you follow fewer brands.
I have a Debian distro on my 7 year old low end laptop that I don’t use often and last time I used it I found out that now it no long wakes from sleep oray e locks up when going to sleep I’m not sure which. Pretty sure it started after updates but who knows what happened.
This is the way I went, I got the tiny form factor versions of a Lenovo and Dell business desktops for about 100 bucks each. If you get lucky you can find real good deals on these things most will take a 2.5" drive as well as a m.2 drive, and they’ll fit upwards of 32 or 64gb of ram depending on the device.
Dry clean only of course
I agree something isn’t right, I have Plex on an HP Chromebook G2 with a Celeron 3865U, it’s a 1.8ghz dual core without HT, and I had it doing like 15-20 1080p streams during testing. Quick sync is amazing.
Y’all remember when we found out all the AI in the walkout Amazon grocery stores was just a bunch of dudes in an Indian call center watching cameras? That would be hilarious if this was the same, some random dude in India sshs into this dude computer then gets annoyed about it if date packages on the system and it spirals from there.
