With the forced upgrade to windows 11 a lot of older mini PCs are getting flooded on to ebay. A little i3 or i5 7th gen with be massively faster then a pi. Plus sips power when idle and completes tasks quicker

So my partner and I use laptops (small flat) so really sip power compared to the 65 watt of the monitor

What res is that monitor ? My 2k monitor is pretty hungry compared to my old 1080. Even just looking at the uk energy efficiency ratings for 4k tells shocks me !

Looks like a cpu/gpu type power connector. Even if its a standard plug does not mean its a standard pin out ! Craft computing on YouTube had what looked like a standard plug in his server but it had a 12volt and ground switched, so would have caused some real damage

Should be fine, I’m writing to spinning rust, so if I was playing back a movie it could cause a few “dad the tv is buffering again” problems

With arr services try to limit network throughput and disk throughput on them, as if either are maxed out for too long (like moving big linux iso files) it can cause weird timeouts and failures

Another one to have a search for is IPFS.

It always throws me when I see at 1080 movie less than 5gb, then I scroll across and see it’s x265…
