  • The 64GB Framework Desktop runs just barely over 2k configured minimally, I went that route because I thought it was a better option than the discrete 32GB video card, but there are tradeoffs with compatibility. Something to think about at the 2k, but not quite 3k range though.

  • What are the most important things to teach a child that they're not going to get in school?

    Jump

  • Teaching kids that food they aren't used to can be good is legit one of the hardest things.

  • Don't be late

  • This feels like mostly an american thing, is pretty true here. They've fixed it in Canada and my time there was pretty limited, but in my experience fixed in Mexico too.

  • People who are staying on Plex, have you tried Jellyfin? What about it do you not prefer? (real question)

    Jump

  • Not misunderstanding, just not the full picture. Proxmox can do VMs, but LXCs are different thing.

    LXCs are a 'container' and have some requirements that might be frustrating sporadically, but they are much lighter. They'll present like you'd expect from a VM (Their own operating system/shell/etc) but resources are mostly shared across LXCs on a host. Overhead isn't gone, but drastically reduced. Personal experience obviously, but it's never been something I've had to seriously consider on an LXC.

    Jump

  • I know telling you that "You should have done this" isn't helpful today, but super recommend Proxmox in the future. I have had containers running Plex, Jellyfin, and Emby all on the same physical host by utilizing LXCs. Migration could be rough, but overall it's not as complicated as it sounds.

  • Jellyfin doesn't really do anything better than Plex. If someone already does have a Plex pass, then the best you can say about Jellyfin is that you're glad things are missing (Like Discover/Plex Channels/etc). Also, the level of support for Jellyfin just isn't there. Plex doesn't always have great support, but answers to technical problems in Jellyfin are frequently just "Don't do that". As others have mentioned too, the experience of sharing your library with isn't really even comparable. Your chances of sharing your Jellyfin library with your grandma are near zero unless you just do it for her.

    The process of setting up Jellyfin as a backup solution actually led me to experimenting with Emby. Unless something crazy happens to my current Plex implementation I'm still not going to proactively switch, but Emby legitimately does (rarely) have some features where it has a leg up on both of them.

  • At least that one, probably more.

  • It worked for our ancestors for hundreds of thousands of years. Wake up, chase antelope until it dies, spend the rest of the day hanging out by the fire and maybe doing some fishing. Gonna get real good at cave paintings, honestly sounds pretty fucking good.

  • Normally, I'd be like "Boo sealioning", but yeah, I want to hear about some examples.

    I've yet to see any other brand consistently compare. Every once in awhile you'll get a one off where its like "Yeah, good job" but there's so many reviews out there of copycat bricks that start with some variations of "Of course, the quality doesn't compare to Lego".

  • Server vs miniPC dilemma for homelab

    Jump

  • I've done both, there are very few scenarios where I'd pick a full sized server over a few mini PCs in a homelab. The only time I'd consider a larger footprint in a homelab is for a custom built NAS.

    I have all the services you've mentioned and more and I'm pretty sure I could comfortably host them on a singular mini PC that I could pick up on ebay for $200 at most. Switching to a Mini PC is also making it easier for you to consider things that require multiple discrete systems in the future and there's a lot of cool things you can do in that space.

  • If you can add AI to your title somehow, that might even be midrange. I was talking to someone who has not been doing this long pushing pretty close to a half million dollar salary and then bonuses on top.

  • Roku and TCL are being sued for allegedly bricking smart TVs with bad updates

    Jump

  • I've had 6 of them now and never had one completely brick after an update, however I have had 3 of them where it seemed an awful lot like the wifi went to shit after an update and then just kinda stayed mostly shit. Still kinda hard to beat the price for what you get.

  • I'm not sure it's definitely AI, part of the 'generator' appears to be the Lenovo power brick and where they have it attached moving around.

    Not sure about the chain in the middle right picture though.

  • I need a new computer - which would you recommend?

    Jump

  • If we're sticking to your direct ask, you're going to want the newest Thinkpad you can find refurbished on eBay. I'd aim for a 6th gen x1 carbon, might still be a little rough with your budget.

  • Around non-specifically 50% compared to as high as 29.999% doesn't seem like a huge delta. I wonder what the real number on both is.

    Edit: Looks like it was 52.4 and 29.1 respectively. The numbers on how much they trust the responses later in the article might be more worrying.
