I did the beta version last month. It was 10 days from hitting submit to getting it in the mail. Standard processing. Hopefully they’re able to keep processing times similar with the roll out.

Right choice, play it safe. Glad it landed safely, competition in space is a good thing. Better than a monopoly.

I can only speak from someone living the West Coast of the United States. During the summer, it’s probably about 1/3rd of girls are braless. That number varies by age group of course. But most people don’t care and plenty partake in the “free the nipple movement”.

Shipping Q1 next year!

I’ll have to check out the channel. Sounds interesting!

You joke but we’re almost there. Refrigerants are getting more and more proprietary. I work in the industry and with the push to go to lower global warming potential (GWP) refrigerants manufacturers have developed their own formulas here. It varies from manufacturer to manufacturer even amongst almost identical equipment. Getting the right refrigerant will only become more and more expensive the more boutique it is. The equipment can already tell what kind of refrigerant is in there based on the system pressures and temperatures.

Sure thing. My electric rate is pretty cheap though. You may be better off finding a small box with integrated graphics in the CPU. Then add storage separately. Connected NAS or something else.

But I like the Dell servers since they’re so cheap for the value.

Very easy if you’re building a new box. The latest Linux kernel (6 I think) has all the required drivers available, and no encoding limit like Nvidia. The Intel GPUs are pretty great for media transcoding.

Personally I setup an old Dell r720 and stuck the GPU in that. My hypervisor is proxmox and I just run jellyfin as an unprivileged container.

Jellyfin is awesome! It does everything I could ask for and has been super stable for myself and a dozen friends and family. Almost all my media is 4k and some version of HDR. My cheap Intel ARC A380 and jellyfin handle everything beautifully. I tried plex but it’s hardware transcoding wasn’t as good with Intel GPU on Linux.

Tailscale is awesome, and super easy to set up. I think the free tier allows up to 100 devices now!
