I have it running for a couple of months now, doing just fine. Had to change my compose file a while back due to some change but rock solid so far.

I do run Syncthing too in any case

andOTP backups are supported on Aegis after you create a vault

A mini PCs sips power when they’re mostly idle, at about 10/15w then it creeps upwards if you push it. It also only needs the iGPU anyway even if you wanna do trancoding on Plex. It will most likely be way more efficient that a desktop with a GPU on it

I think the best choice is getting one of those so all your services are working all the time. A RPI will work albeit you gotta be aware of its limitations.

Used andOTP but got discontinued, Aegis is the king now :)

Probably just hardware compatibility and me specifically NVIDIA x) once you get the kinks sorted out it’s a pretty stable experience

Started contributing 2 weeks ago and just did a walk for StreetComplete yesterday, it’s hella fun and I’ve added a lot of POIs on my city since i started, just over 400 changesets atm :)

SIngle player games / simulation games, the only FPS I’ve kept around is CS:GO really. Also play Warframe sometimes but the grind is painful sometimes

If you’re satisfied with Jellyfin, you should stick to that cause Plex ain’t bringing much to the table in all honesty. I still use Plex cause it works better most of the time really.

Looks great, congrats :)

Docker does work for transcoding but because I’m using Proxmox it’s slightly more complicated since I want my windows VMs to not be a slog and run mediaservers on a iGPU.

Atleast on Plex it can do software transcode and not be bothered by an annoying “cannot play this media on this device”. This was a few months ago and I still run both but Plex serves me fine fot the time being

Well, it’s pretty unsurprising considering all companies are doing the same.

I’ve given a chance to Jellyfin but it’s really frustating how it simply refused to play video files without any descriptive error logs. I think it mostly doesn’t work properly on HEVC files (I think Edge is the only browser that properly supports x265) and my Android TV also doesn’t play the damn thing.

Also adding that video files from the same release (which assumed are the same encoder), they either work perfectly or just refuse to work :(

I do not pay for Plex but I considered in the past getting a lifetime sub x)

Haven’t heard of eMule for ages lmao x)

You’re correct :) https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/XM6BNUHKI3EKTDEXAAVE3JBPCG3BPUJC/

Honestly I’ve been very satisified with ostree-based distros, specifically Fedora Kinoite (Silverblue for GNOME) and it’s very hard to fuck it up and it encourages flatpak usage.

Other than that, the recommendations on the article are pretty good.

For server, Debian is great :) i use ubuntu 20.04 lts personally

Running 2 mini pcs in a Proxmox cluster with a NAS (24TB) for the mediaserver VM

• Lenovo Thinkcentre M700 (i5-6400T, 32GB RAM)
• Dell Optiplex 3080 (i5-10500T, 32GB RAM)

This setup is nice. It’s also interesting that I’ve never heard of Wii mini but I was a PlayStation kid :)

I love this solution, it’s chaotic-good

I am under the impression that laptop coolers don’t really do much, you’re probably better off trying to clean the laptop fans and if your vents are on the bottom you should find a way to make some space for them by elevating the laptop

Now that I’m thinking, the last time I remember having a laptop that overheated was running on a Pentium M series, not even Linux saved it much from the age of it x)

Also got one on the only sub I used to mod a couple of hours ago 🙃
