Do you mind including your budget in the OP? That would help others do their own calculations on electricity savings vs cost of hardware over time.

I’ve been monitoring this page https://gist.github.com/ironicbadger/5da9b321acbe6b6b53070437023b844d from https://yewtu.be/watch?v=ceUIUyZwchY

It’s showing some really interesting results for various processors and their efficiency while transcoding.

Is 60W a lot? I think a system with a few mechanical hard drives and fans will be at least half of that regardless of the processor used. Please correct me if I’m wrong.

Kobo with calibre-web sync has been great. Calibre-web github.

The lidarr way.

This seems like it will kill the sales of rocket league credits in the grey market.

All the arrs, HA, pihole and a few smaller containers running on pi4. It was my gateway into the world of self hosting.

It might be easier to get suggestions if you go into more detail about the functionality you’re looking for, whether it replicates paid features of other clients or something else altogether.

I have it running in a docker container and the subnet setting seems to work. Also should mention it’s restricted to eth0.

You can set the subnet to be scanned in the arpnet settings. Restricting the scans to your devices subnet will get rid of all the extra docker IPs.

Hardware unboxed will definitely do another deep dive into upscalers once fsr3 is widely available.

Snapdragon 8 gen 2 gpu theoretical performance is closer to that of the ps4 pro. Even then you have vastly different power limits and architectures. It’s amazing what the gpus in our phones can do but they’re not in the same league as modern hardware in consoles and PCs.

Here are a couple of links to help you get a better idea of what purelymail is like:

I’m in the process of trying it out for a year before I switch over fully. Have yet to run into any issues but I’m not a heavy email user.

Thank you for tempo, it has quickly become my default subsonic client.

It looks like that instance isn’t using the most up-to-date version since the “press go” issue has been fixed. Try to keep in mind that the initial commit was on June 24 and it’s still very early in the development stage. If you look at the commits, you can see the developer has been very active.

Racknerd and lowendtalk have been around for a very long time. Racknerd has earned their good reputation over that time by being a stable provider with good support. The occasional great deal helps but none of it is too good to be true for anyone that has been following the vps space.

No official announcement that I know of, he’s been pretty consistent about it and it seems Leo has given up trying to convince him to stay.

It is quite good but anyone new to the show should know Steve plans to retire from the show after I think he said 999 or 1000. That’s a little over a year from now. Hopefully they’ll get someone capable to fill in.

I’m on advanced billing and based on my usage patterns, it shouldn’t cost me more than $6-7/year. My main concern is it’s a one man operation. The FAQ talks about it but I don’t think anything has been put in place if the worst comes to pass.

If you search for vpshostingservice.co/cheapwindowsvps.com (same service) on lowendbox, you’ll find a range of opinions. For non-critical use, it seems fine to me. But if you think that deal is too good to be true, you should browse more of the holiday deal threads on there, especially on black friday. It’s a decent deal, just not exceptional.

I was using smtp2go, I’m now testing purelymail for my personal email needs. I don’t think the latter is suited for sending a large number of emails.
