Comment on DVDs and public transit: Boycott drives people to ditch Big Tech to protest ICE
EncryptKeeper@lemmy.world 2 weeks agoTo a degree yes, but not nearly as bad as other components right now. You can at the very least buy a single “small” HDD like 4TB for pretty cheap that is far more than what you’d get from big tech on an average storage plan.
This is subject to change but as of today, you can get this for cheap

That’s good. Main thing stopping me from doing this is space but glad it’s still possible for others.

If you wanted something to get started for streaming and you are space limited (in your home) I would recommend this as your server:
And for storage you could get this 4TB external drive and plug it into the Beelink and sit it right on top for $130:

do you happen to know if shucking is an option and whether it is viable in larger capacity drives? 12, 16 TB or so. for upgrade, not starter server of course
EncryptKeeper@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I don’t do shucking, it’s not really much of a thing these days tbh. Though I do know it was only ever worth it for larger drives.

This could work then. I already got an external 5tb HDD. I just want it to stream to my shield.

The N100 would work great, that’s what I have at home, the S12 pro with the n100, it’s just getting harder to find.
Just don’t get the N95
