Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!

Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!

Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.

So, how’s it going?

I would be looking to use it not just for watching stuff, but for running my home server (everything from Mediawiki to Nextcloud to Jellyfin). If it's replacing my desktop then it also needs to be able to play games like Stardew Valley or Minecraft, and support X box controllers.

Currently I have an old laptop running the server and running Kodi to play stuff from Jellyfin in a smart-TV like interface, and the desktop is separate. It would be nice to consolidate to one machine.

Ah yeah, you're a bit stuck with fans then :)

I figured I'd have fans, but the laptop is a lot quieter than the desktop, that's the noise level I'd like. The laptop is old enough it doesn't have hardware transcoding, so that would be one reason I'd like an upgrade, now that this Kodi thing seems to be working well for us.
