If they have a 5th gen or newer Intel CPU, Quicksync will work excellently for transcoding. No discrete GPU needed.

Yeah anyone who travels with children.

You can volunteer to be part of the fire brigade watching over the event.

Don't use Mullvad for torrenting. They're a great VPN but they had to remove port forwarding so you'll be unable to torrent properly. AirVPN is an alternative that still has port forwarding available.

I can't answer your question as I rely on Plex rather than fooling around with my own security, but I'd suggest reconsidering the Pi and a microSD to host Jellyfin. Neither one of these are a good fit unless you plan on sticking to very specific audio and video codecs to avoid all transcoding and your upload speeds are capable of serving the full bitrate of your files. Beyond that, SD cards are terrible for this kind of task and you'd be much better served with an SSD as your boot/data drive for robustness. I can't even count the number of failed SD cards I've had over the years.

I got a STEM degree that didn't require any financial classes. I learned all that on my own once I started making adult money at nearly 30. I see (quite a lot of) others in my same boat who didn't bother and are making six figures while living paycheck to paycheck still. The last round of layoffs were quite a shock to these people.

I'll give big credit to my parents who also never saved a dollar and gave me the fire inside to never allow myself to wind up in the same position after seeing the disastrous results of said decisions.

Edit: funny that a CJ degree is mentioned as my aunt and her (trash of a human being) prison guard husband took out a $500k loan to remodel their $250k house. They got divorced last year and still can't sell that house. He lives in Florida now and she moved into a trailer park.

Yes, if any one of them invaded, the others would come to their defense provided they give up their nukes which they did. It turns out that was a huge mistake because nobody has any integrity.

It was a typo. It should read "Donald Trump is a loser"

I was actually curious about this as we're forced to use Edge or.Chrome at work.

Especially when these boards have likely been sealed by AsRock until just moments before having the CPU installed.

I just replaced my X470 Taichi with a Z790 Sonic and both have been trouble free. The former has essentially been running 24/7 since 2018 hosting my media server.

Why set the bar so low when you could be searching for your future ex-wife?
