My bad, for some reason I thought you were using Jellyfin on the Pi but you’re actually using Kodi so that makes sense

They’re probably going to install it through Google Play tho (if it’s available there) so it’d be pretty easy, and probably automatic, to update it

Should probably mention that premium is only 10 bucks a year. I also don’t just pay for the feature itself but also to support Bitwarden, it’s completely free and open source after all.

Are you trying to play the video on the Pi itself? Aren’t you using Jellyfin to watch it on other devices?

I think Piped just feels slower because of the web page, I’ve noticed that everything is a lot snappier when using LibreTube, especially playing videos. On LibreTube, when I click on a video, it instantly starts playing while I have to wait several seconds on the web page for it to start playing.

It started getting popular years ago and that’s when me an my friends switched to it too (back when I didn’t know shit about privacy). You gotta keep in mind the alternatives back then were Skype, which was meant for 1 to 1 calls, had shit audio quality and issues all the time and TeamSpeak, which was complicated because you needed a server (we were kids, we only knew what a server was from Minecraft) and had a text chat that was only a small part of the bottom of the window that was full of connected and disconnected messages, so I actually didn’t even know you could write in that. TeamSpeak’s interface also isn’t exactly good-looking or very intuitive. Then came Discord, you could create a server for you and your friends for free, you saw who of your friends was online and playing what, you could see when someone was in a voice channel and could just join, you had multiple text chats where you could easily send a link or memes while playing and you could easily share your screen with the others. It was a major improvement over the other two. I know that it sucks from a privacy standpoint but there’s good reasons why people started using it.

Once you turn on your Laptop it should just sync from your phone, no? I don’t really get what the issue here is

So does a swap partition. I just meant that’s an option as an alternative to it. But now that I think about it, not enough RAM wouldn’t cause performance issues anyway, it would just cause random applications to stop working.

You can also just make a swap file, you won’t have to make partition that way

Might be worth adding a section for web UIs that make managing certain things easier. For example, Cockpit or Nginx Proxy Manager.

I actually bought a similar one with the same CPU. You’re not the first to recommend a mini PC with the N100, so it seems like it was the right choice haha.

I didn’t plan on paying much more than 100€ because it’s replacing my Pi but the one I bought can probably replace both my Pis. I just didn’t think about selling the other Pi as well before.

I actually ordered something similar with the same CPU for 146€

I’m probably going to get a used HDD and connect it with an adapter over USB. A NAS would be way more expensive.

Actually, I found the Firebat T8 Pro Plus, which has an Intel N100, 16gb LPDDR5 RAM and a 512gb M.2 SSD. It’s more than 5 times faster than the Pi, has AV1 decoding and a power draw of 27W (not TDP, this number is from independent tests). It goes for 146€ on Aliexpress. It’s a little more than 100€ but for what I’m getting here, I think it’s worth it.

Interesting. I guess security wasn’t that good by default back then, firewalls are now set up by default on pretty much every server distro.

For addons you need to install HACS

I can also buy an adapter and plug the drive in over USB. It would be nicer if it fit inside but it’s not that important.

Just looked around and there are mini PCs for around 130€ with Intel N100 CPUs, which have a 6W TDP, AV1 decoding and they beat an i5 6500T (that one’s in a 130€ Dell Optiplex I found on ebay) in single core and gets close enough in multicore. Is there some kind of catch I’m not seeing with that CPU? Because it looks perfect for my use case.

I actually use a dynamic IP and it works pretty well for me, I don’t remember having any issues because of that. Also, what happened after those two weeks to your server and how? I’ve been running my things for over 3 years and I haven’t done anything special in terms of security.
