Most VPSes I use offer a slower (200mbps) connection without a data cap for free.
Not dead enough. We need to bully all high profile plex users such as Linus (tech tip man) into switching to Jellyfin.
Junior/mid here. AI helps me solve annoying problems, get through the boring monotonous stuff faster and do more of the fun high level or creative stuff. (I’m mostly a frontend dev)
The most optimal plex setting is Jellyfin
Same 😓
This happened to me this week
Currently have a setup similar to yours, except the chip is N100 (12th gen Intel, 4 e-cores) and 16 gigs of ram. Running Jellyfin with hardware accelerated transcoding into VP9 and HEVC just fine. Nextcloud is ok too, kinda slow but I think that’s because of my networking.
It’s one of the cheapest pre made n100 mini PCs I could find on Amazon.
Just make sure that you have enough IO for your needs. Mine has only three usb ports, I plugged in two usb hard drives and a Zigbee dongle and now I’m out of ports. Gonna have to get a hub now.
If you have the money I’d recommend getting a mini pc with an amd ryzen apu.
Servers are just really big computers. I started off with a Chinese Raspberry Pi clone, then upgraded to an old mac mini + mini pc + a cheap cloud server (VPS). As you can see, you can turn any old computer into a server.
The cloud is expensive but reliable. Having your own server is cheap but it will go offline with every network fault or brownout. If you’re serious about self hosting I suggest buying a UPS.
Whatever computer you decide to use as a server, make sure it is quiet. When I first started, I tried to use an old 2010 aah workstation as a server, but the fans were so loud I couldn’t sleep, it was driving me crazy.
