TF = (what) the fuck

Sometimes people drop the “what” part

GMKtec sells solid mini x86 computers. I have one with an Intel N150, which can do hardware encoding with Intel QSV. https://www.amazon.com/GMKtec-mini-pc-computer-n150/dp/B0CH81C4K3

$137 rn on Amazon for 8gb/256gb N150

Thanks, I’ll check those out

You can buy twice as many drives, though.

Haha I just got my kids into castle crashers after looking through my library for 2+ player games.

Awesome that the devs are still doing stuff with it.

Honestly I’d recommend buying refurbished drives and using them in a RAID array so that you can easily replace one for cheap(ish) if it goes bad.

before anyone says “RAID is not a backup” yeah I know but you can’t deny its capability to function as such. 3-2-1 always applies.

Set up an alert for when the drive you want goes on sale/in stock

Yeah it’s a shame the path Garmin is going :(

Also: Garmin recently enshittified by simultaneously adding an AI slop component that works by taking all of your recorded fitness and location data and doing gods know what with it, as well as a paid subscription tier to their obligatory smartphone app – the latter after explicitly promising for many years that they wouldn’t. So not only is their hardware expensive (and their owners are now rightly pissed), they’re also liars. I would not give them any money until they shape up, if I were you. Assuming they ever do…

Gadgetbridge works with most Garmin models. I have the Instinct 2 Solar and have never created a Garmin account or downloader the app.

Hell yes

I’ll gladly help you out with that uhhh problem you’re having

Very serious btw I’m local

Are you doing things through docker compose? If so, feel free to PM me or reply here with your compose file and I’ll help as best I can

If you just want an internal webUI with video playback, I absolutely love MeTube.

It uses yt-dlp as a backend and has a lot of configuration and supports a lot of sites.

Exposing this to the outside isn’t a good idea because of the risk of DMCA or someone abusing your hard drive space

haha no

Does it have to be pterodactyl? I have two servers set up with Docker and they were very easy to set up.

I use this: https://github.com/itzg/docker-minecraft-server

If you’re not opposed to doing it yourself, you can sign up for a free trial to Tidal and rip it.

Space Engineers. I set up a server for me and my friends with a few mods.

So far, we have an undefended asteroid with a ton of resources and production capabilities. It was attacked recently by a small pirate ship but I fought it off.

I’m in the process of making a large nomad ship - a mobile base.

The gold standard for transcoding these days is a newer gen Intel CPU with integrated graphics.

The integrated GPU on those intel chips can do Intel QuickSync / QSV which will handle a dozen streams at once without breaking a sweat.

So far the closest thing was Plasma Bigscreen, but it’s still in development.

Functionally, it’s the right thing I’m looking for, but it’s not polished enough to fulfill my needs.

If this allowed folders and a GUI for settings, I think it’d be a winner.

Yeah another user mentioned this - definitely my #1 choice if it were fully released.
