Imagine risking your life to teach a lesson to your class and then having half of them fail the next quiz.

I have file management software on my Proxmox server called Cockpit

imo nobody who is struggling to lose weight needs to be told about energy balance.

I disagree when I’ve heard countless people make up wild reasons why they can’t lose weight and it’s never about eating more calories than they burn. I’m not trying to shame anyone (im overweight myself) but the billion dollar weight loss industry has convinced too many people that it’s some super complex problem that can only be solved with some wacky diet and a monthly fee.

Your intel core7 has an iGPU which is what QuickSync is. Its one of the best for transcoding. Even without hardware acceleration the Intel CPU will handle this workload just fine but most of these Chinese mini PCs have ARM chips which won’t come with these benefits.

Edit: I see these Miniforum PCs do have Intel and AMD chips so I was making an incorrect assumption here.

That might really limit your options as Quicksync is pretty much the gold standard for efficiency and performance. A discrete GPU works too but you might have trouble finding them in a Chinese mini PC.

I used AMD for years (RX580) but it wasn’t always the best quality and having a separate GPU really sapped a lot more power. I don’t believe ARM processors are really optimized for transcoding either. Under the hood, Jellyfin, Emby, and Plex all use ffmpeg to do their transcoding so maybe you can research more about its performance with each platform.

Again, used is always an option. You’re not giving money to any of these companies by buying used parts and it sounds like this would get you more ‘horsepower’ from your budget than buying a bunch of new stuff.

For Frigate you can just add a Coral TPU to offload the heavy lifting but with Jellyfin you’ll likely need a GPU/iGPU (Intel) that can handle transcoding. I don’t know what specific models you’re looking at but you might try to determine their passmark score. I think it’s recommended at least 2000 score for a single 1080p transcode. Alternatively you can stick to specific file formats that won’t need transcoding but this might be some work.

You could get a used Dell Optiplex micro. They have i3/i5 processors and can be found for around $100. This will at least get you going and you can always build something later.

Its extra creepy that my kid just put this movie on 30 minutes ago and here I am seeing a post about it on Lemmy while it’s playing on the TV in front of me.

Never done it but I have been interested in trying it at some point, but either way i think you’d need to do it more than a couple times to see a benefit just like with any other form of exercise. I can’t imagine that it wouldn’t offer any benefit with regular sessions.

Are we witnessing the DNC forming their 2028 presidential platform here in real time? I can’t wait to have a bunch of right-wing liberals tell me why murdering millions of kids is absolutely necessary and that I’m obviously a conservative Russian plant for not supporting it.

Z1 is just single parity.

AFAIK expanding a ZFS pool is a new feature. Its used in Proxmox but their version hasn’t been updated yet, so I don’t have the ability to try it out yet. It t should be available to you otherwise.

Sweet build! I have all these parts laying around so this would be a fun project. Please share your enclosure design if you’d like!

Ive had a couple of their ZWave light switches/scene controllers for a couple years now and they work great, were relatively cheap, and integrate well with HA.

Its more clear than ever. I don’t understand how more people don’t see it atleast amongst those who follow politics like this.

Ive heard that many Republicans are pissed at Trump and Co about the lack of progress here since child trafficking was a big part of the QAnon bullshit. On the left, many people were willing to forgive genocide to get a paltry win at the ballot box so I can’t say either side really has the high ground.

Tina tattled on Tony the toe tickler and Terry terminated him.

Check serverpartdeals.com for HDDs. They’re used enterprise drives so they’re much cheaper, but there’s always the possibility of getting a bad drive so they should be tested first. If you’re just storing pirated stuff the risk isn’t super great since you can just find the files again. The next best option is shucking external drives like WD Elements/Easystore/MyBook as they’re typically half the price of the bare WD Red drives and are virtually the same thing with a different label. I have bought about 15 drives using both these methods and haven’t had any issues. The shucked drives have been in use since as far back as 2018.

A better value is just getting 6th gen or newer Intel CPU and using its built-in GPU to do the transcoding. If you want a discrete GPU, any low powered card that supports HEVC should work. Alternatively, you can get something like a Roku device to connect to your TV as they have pretty good compatibility and you’ll avoid transcoding all together.

What are you using for storage?

It’s that thing your sweat does to your body.

the thing some people put on their bed during the day to prevent dust.

I’ve never heard or something like this. How dusty would a bed get after 12 hours?

My office gets like that with 2 desktops running, a Pi4, NVR, and 3D printer. Its typically 5-10 degrees hotter in there based off my IoT temp sensors I have in each room.
