Oh shit, I remember watching Gumbo Slice backyard street fights back in the day. Didn’t realize this was meant to be him!

I love this wild west phase of the Fediverse! Feels like the good ole days of the Internet. Onwards!

1·1 year agoLooks pretty good, but wow, that’s pricey! $650 or so on Amazon Canada.
The main concern with using a PC would be size, noise, heat, etc. If I can build something with a tiny form factor and minimal fuss, that could totally work.
Good points, thanks. I might end up getting one of those Intel NUCs instead, they look just right for the job.
Ideally I want something with a small form-factor, but more bays for additional storage might come in handy. Definitely won’t need the DVD drive though :D I also don’t want to have to pay for that W10 license since I’ll be running linux on it. I don’t have Plex pass, but good point about the Intel 8th gen CPUs.
I like the Chromebox suggestion, I hadn’t thought of that as a possibility. Something like that might be perfect, thanks.
I don’t have as much of a need for a networking machine, since I’m happy to keep my simple network setup with just the VPN bits on the home server. I might start self-hosting NextDNS too for DNS ad-blocking. The main downside of the HC2 I’m facing for media is that 32 bit CPU support is being dropped on the main apps I’m using. For your needs that Intel router does seem quite interesting.
Damn, that’s even more powerful than my gaming PC! Makes my Odroid HC2 develop a complex. Nice work!
Good point. Most containers I’ve used do seem to use Alpine as a base. Found this StackOverflow post that compared native vs container performance, and containers fair really well!
Makes sense! I have a bunch of services (plex, radarr, sonarr, gluetun, etc) on my media server on Armbian running as docker containers. The ease of management is just something else! My HC2 doesn’t seem to break a sweat running about a dozen containers, so the overhead can’t be too bad.
Out of curiosity, is there much overhead to using docker than installing via curl and bash? I’m guessing there’s some redundant layers that docker uses?
B2 is awesome. I have Duplicati set up on OpenMediaVault to backup my OS nightly to B2 (as well as a local copy to the HDD).
This is awesome, thanks! Going to install it on my Odroid HC2 running OpenMedia 6!
