@lemmy.worldHey guys, I’ve never used Plex before but am looking to set up a server this week for me and my family as streaming bills are getting out of control. I have a small library of legally acquired media that will work as a good test before I go sailing for the rest.
I have a Thinkserver TD340 desktop with dual xeons and space for many hard drives that I was going to use simply due to its HDD capacity
(12c24t combined and 64gb RAM)
However they’re sandy bridge Xeon’s and not very power efficient. However I can put a Quadro P2000 GPU in it for hardware accelerated transcoding
The other idea I have is I have access to an HP SFF PC with an i5 8400T and a few external hard drive mounts I could plug into power in the wall and USB to the PC
This is smaller and saves power but forgoes GPU acceleration leaving me with only Intel UHD 630 graphics. It’s also only 6 cores/threads but they are much faster.
I also want whichever system I use to run pi-hole for DNS level ad blocking. But that’s very light and shouldn’t be an issue to run at the same time.
Am I overthinking this? I have access to both systems. Which would be best. At most maybe 3 people would be accessing it at once. Across iPhones, smart TVs etc
Holy shit Thrawns Night Troopers were fucking wild. I never knew the imperial Aesthetic would mesh so well with like dark fantasy Roman Empire like wtf haha
Trying to encourage more usage of this community as I still refuse to use Reddit but desperately miss the active community there lol
Post theories/hopes for todays episode below!
I’m hoping to see Thrawn and/or Ezra tonight finally!
Season 1 Episode 5 “SHADOW WARRIOR” is now out. Discuss below!
I have a friend who’s alcohol consumption has gotten out of control. Me and his other friends/family are planning an intervention and so I’ve been doing a lot of research/reading on the topic.
NEVER and I mean NEVER have I seen so many fucking ads for alcohol in my LIFE. Instagram? 15 ads in a half hour of scrolling reels. YouTube? Ads. Google results? Ads. Twitter? Ads.
It’s fucking everywhere and it’s SICK. I’m researching how to help someone stop drinking and I’m getting inundated with ads for anything from gin, beers, vodkas and more. I can’t even imagine having an alcohol issue and trying to find help for myself with the web being this way.
It’s fucking sick.
My Memmy feed is comprised of posts from my subscribed communities but most of the posts are sub 100 votes and have at most a few dozen comments.
I log into Lemmy on my laptop however and the posts in my feed have thousands of votes and dozens or hundreds of comments. Is there something I’m doing wrong? New to the fediverse
