Shouldnt do so that bad. my raspberry pi 4b can do jellyfin and nextcloud without pushing 15W at full load.

x86 is inefficient, especially older models, but youll likely only push anything over 10W when actually streaming something that requires transcoding. Most of the time your home server is gonna sit idle or doing some tiny cron job that won't really blast the CPU at all.

idk what resolution you use for streaming but my raspberry pi 4B runs plex at 1080p just fine as long as it isnt using x265/AV1 (but on jellyfin you might be able to use the Pi's GPU for transcoding).

I use nextcloud too but it's a tiny bit slower than I'd like, but that's likely a wifi issue i think.

Literally any PC on Amazon for $200 CAD, then add your own SSD. I'd say 8GB of RAM but that's just for cache, youll rarely go over 4 in general use.

That, or a raspberry pi 4B/5 which runs you about $150 once you get a case, power supply, powered USB dock for sticking SSDs into (just for safety since technically the pi's USB ports cant handle certain SSDs power reqs.) and then stick SSDs into that.

Use dietpi (dietpi.com) for setting up your services and it'll run nice and smooth for anything not H265, which might be annoying but Plex and possibly jellyfin let you transcode stuff in the background which is nice.

Yeah it's nice to have a "IaC-lite" setup for stuff. Could definitely do an involved install but for my use case its not too involved :)

TLDR it's a Debian/Linux image that comes preconfigured for raspberry pis and other small single board computers.

Firstly, it's quite minimal for a "full featured" Linux distro, reducing RAM and CPU usage which are usually in high demand on SBCs. But it also doesn't remove stuff that a typical linux user needs, so no weird configuration to get your regular suite of apps running.

Secondly, it has a library of utilities for managing your computer from the command line. Such as common raspberry pi configuration, setting up and managing cron jobs, services, DDNS, VPNs, disks, etc.

Thirdly, it has its own "repository" of applications, which are really just regular Debian packages but with extra scripts to configure said software for the typical user. Stuff like, installing and configuring a database, webserver, python, php are all done alongside your software setup, and it "just works".

It's usually used for hosting services like Plex, Jellyfin, Nextcloud, and other utilities with minimal effort but it's really just like any other Linux and you can do whatever you like to it.

dietpi.com if you wanna read about it from the devs

oops meant to reply, not make a new comment 😌

TLDR, language models designed through evolutionary training algorithms respond well to evolutionary pressures

Doesnt Broadcom own a majority stake or something?

they were the worst updates because it guaranteed it was installing some bullshit you didnt want

DietPi, for setting up an SBC (ie raspberry pi) with common server software. very good for a first-time self hoster like myself.

The opinion of what is and isnt "subjective" is up for a lot of debate even if you dont personally have a major stake in a videogame's marketing campaign (such as the authors and enforcers of these contracts).

trying? they succeeded
