Generally intel has the best idle power consumption although amd won’t be terrible either. unless you already have an amd motherboard or cpu lying around I would recommend grabbing a 11th gen i5.
If you want to reduce your power idle power consumption undervolting won’t help you there, it will only reduce power consumption while under load. Generally the biggest killer for idle power consumption is actually your motherboard and for that reason try to find a smaller motherboard. Mini-itx is best but you’ll probably find that micro-atx is a lot cheaper while not sacrificing too much power draw.
I can’t say how useful your gtx 960 will be, I’d test it to see if it can encode/decode/transcode video fast enough for your needs. If it is fast enough then you can easily get away with an 8th/9th gen intel cpu you’ll find they are a lot cheaper, you could get an even older cpu as per Jellyfins hardware requirements but you’ll sacrifice some power consumption and probably not save that much money. 8th/9th gen CPU’s have pretty good power idle power consumption which is of course what should be targeted here.

Ook, maybe if I ever need to store a petabyte or two for whatever reason.
- Comment on Tape drive backups 2 days ago:
How have I never heard of tape drives for backup before? They seam like the ultimate medium for archival storage. Super cheap although very slow, sounds like a good compromise to me.

Great video. Made me reconsider using mergerfs and snapraid instead of zfs. invidious link.
- Comment on Is there any open source tv focused os/ui? 2 weeks ago:
Thanks for the help. It seams like plasma big screen is back in development and is getting regular pull requests on it’s git repo. I guess we can both just wait for it to have a stable release.
- Comment on Is there any open source tv focused os/ui? 2 weeks ago:
Seems cool, but I don’t really want something unstable considering that other non technical people rely on it.
- Comment on Is there any open source tv focused os/ui? 2 weeks ago:
Android tv is google. If there was a custom rom version of android tv I would be interested though.
- Comment on Is there any open source tv focused os/ui? 2 weeks ago:
I might try that as I wait for plasma big screen to be fully ready.
- Comment on Is there any open source tv focused os/ui? 3 weeks ago:
Dude! plasma big screen is exactly what I was looking for. I hope it is available for public use reasonably soon. In the meantime does steam big picture work for other apps like jellyfin?

Sorry, I don’t get the joke?

- Comment on Fresh Proxmox install w/ full disk encryption—so install Debian first, then Proxmox on top? 4 weeks ago:
If you want to set-up disk encryption you should probably understand that while the server is booted up as far as I know there will be no disk encryption leaving it completely available for anyone to take data from
Although most people entering your house would probably unplug the laptop and open it at there own home the data could still be valuable if it stays powered up with battery power.
- Comment on I don't get the love for Nextcloud - alternative for just files? 2 months ago:
Yeah I need read and write, I will look at posix for Ocis though.
- Comment on I don't get the love for Nextcloud - alternative for just files? 2 months ago:
I’ve heard of seafile but i remember something about it turned me off, ocis on the other hand sounds awesome, owncloud but written in go? I will definitely look into that and thanks for the recommendation.
- Comment on I don't get the love for Nextcloud - alternative for just files? 2 months ago:
I haven’t used nextcloud but it seems frustrating that there isn’t any really good selfhosted file cloud. Nextcloud is really chunky and inefficient but it seems to be the best option despite that.
- Comment on Intel NUC Homelab - Plex, Immich, Home Assistant 2 months ago:
Proxmox definitely has a harder set-up i am currently doing it right now and I’ve found it a bit of a learning curve, but it is definitely the ultimately better and more fun option if you ask me ;)
Someone should correct me if I’m wrong but auto update should be as easy as scheduling the commands for apt or whatever package manager your using to update.
- Comment on Synology could bring “certified drive” requirements to more NAS devices 2 months ago:
For me at least I never considered a synology nas it seemed like the apple of home servers. Especially when I enjoy building machines anyway there was no point. Although I can definitely see the appeal for some people.
- Comment on Selfhosting Sunday - What's up? 3 months ago:
Finally starting my self hosted journey. I have everything I need I’m setting up a 6tb nas for linux iso’s photos and files. And I recently got a “broken” laptop that works perfectly fine that I will use for running all my applications in proxmox such as immich, jellyfin and nextcloud. And probably many others in the near future.
