I don’t disagree with you, but there are loads of technical issues for laptops in the range between 100W and 240W where it just isn’t feasible to do it this way.

240W is 48V and creates massive amounts of heat, which is difficult to deal with in a small laptop.
You also run into problems with cable length if you want to connect to a dock and have that power with high bandwidth data transfer. Longer cables makes the bandwidth fall of a cliff, and the ones that follow the specs are insanely expensive.

So I’d say yeah, it would be nice, but we’re not there with the tech yet for more power hungry laptops, sadly.

Yeah!
I’ve had “V blbym veku” from Xindl X in a playlist for 10 years.
I don’t understand a single work, but it just speaks to me for some weird reason.

I did not expect to find a Kvelertak fan in this thread! Cool!

If you ever decide to learn a little to understand them, know that the dialect in Stavanger is very different to what you normally learn.

Hehe yeah I feel you mate.
I ride motorcycles and struggle getting used to scooters. The almost digital feeling throttle control (on/off, speed will come eventually) is not for me.

Enjoy your scooters this summer!

I find it interesting how those of us having learned with manuals just know when to shift after a while, even if the music is blaring.
You sort of just feel it.

You’ll get there soon, OP, just keep practicing!

IIRC it was a minority, but the critique was gender stereotypes and misogyny.

They are entitled to their opinions, and I’m glad I read it after playing the game so it did not affect my experience.

Cheers mate, appreciate the advice!

I remember some people in Reddit not being too happy with It Takes Two.

We loved it and look forward to playing Split Fiction when we find the time.

That would be a mirror of my setup. GMKtec N100 with 16 Gb of RAM doing all the heavy lifting with Jellyfin (transcoding), game servers, HomeAssistant and so forth. Not once has it had a hickup.

It’s a brilliant little thing for really very little money.

Remember to activate C-states in BIOS to achieve the super low idle TDP people talk about, around 6-8W.

Good luck on your journey!

I did the same.

Jellyfin and all “fun” containers to a N100 NUC and let the NAS be a NAS. It’s only running the .arr stack and qBit. Works really well and the NUC has power for days to expand.

Yeah it makes no sense, yet it’s so much fun when stuff finally works like it should!

Everybody loves using Jellyfin at home, but they think I’m mad for spending countless hours setting up everything the first time, then a second time to improve, then a third time as I migrated HW.

Keep having fun with it mate! The possibilities are endless

No problem, friend.

Feel free to ask if you need some help setting stuff up and good luck!

Yes, end-to-end. Only you have access to the files. Proton does not.

Yes Sir.

I do a backup of Proxmox to the NAS once a week and auto-delete anything older than one month, and I upload those and all pictures and critical files to the cloud. Critical files being personal data, information about the house, insurance papers etc.
Personally I use Proton and have 1 TB, which has been more than enough. It is also encrypted.

Movies, music and TV shows are not backed up as I don’t consider them critical at all. It can all be re-downloaded if needed.

I know there is unRAID and TrueNAS, but I went with a traditional NAS (Synology, before all the fuckery) and a small N100 NUC on the side.
The NAS is critical for the whole family with backups, pictures and general files, so I need it to be 110%. On it, I just run the .arr stack, Surveilance Station and Qbit, and the NUC runs all my other containers like Jellyfin and Home Assistant. Full access to the files via NFS and it gives me good power for transcoding when needed. Even 4K high bitrate files play seamlessly on WiFi now.

It’s been rock solid and I would probably do it the same way again if I had to rebuild.

Best of luck finding the appropriate solution for your needs, mate!

80€ ish for symetric 750 mbit.

Norway is high cost, so I’m quite pleased with it.

My man, you are literally getting paid to spend time with a tiny human being you helped make. You’d have to be pretty deep into the Kool-aid bottle to say no to that.

I had my mandatory 15 weeks last year and loved it, so from one dad to another: enjoy it!

And remember: if you die tomorrow, you’ll be replaced at work within a few weeks, but you can never ever be replaced at home.

I agree, but want to add Portainer. Compose in Portainer takes away the scary SLI/Terminal part.

At least for me, hosting stuff went from «I have no idea what I’m doing» to «This sort of makes sense».
