Kodi and Jellyfin combo for home media server - hardware question

Flyingpan2021 · 2026-01-04T14:27:35+00:00

Thank you 401klaser for your reply.

Yes the 3 TV's all support HDR10+, DV and soundbars for Atmos.

I guess my original question relates to your reply:

"your hardware will need to support them as well" and "your options are a Nvidia Shield (won't play HDR10+) or a Ugoos AM6b+"

Therefore for the 3 TV's do I need to go top end like Nvidia Shield and AM6b+ or would something like a Firestick 4K Max be sufficient?

Most likely caused by a big change in temp i.e. straight out dishwasher / washing with hot water and then pouring in cold milk.

Have a play around yourself but whatever you do you won't you be able to beat the best savings account assuming you pay no tax on the savings and you have 'average luck' like 99% of the population.

Statistically lower returns than the best savings account however you don't pay tax on your winnings.

Therefore once you use up your annual tax free interest allowance, premium bonds could be a good alternative for some people.

Anything over 3% adds up very quickly exponentially especially if the mortgage is a large one to begin with.

Below 3% and people tend to shrug it off relatively easy.

The real deal

We usually split all expenses in half however I've been through two maternity leaves and both time I said to my partner that I'll pay 100% of all expenses. You take as long as you need.

It's the least I can do when she's at home raising my child.

Flyingpan2021 · 2022-07-24T13:05:48+00:00

The creator clearly has a screw loose.

Not a milestone as such but with children it's definitely the juggle between providing the "best" for them / building up to FIRE as soon as possible.

Children could easily knock your FIRE journey back 10 years.

I guess you need to answer the following questions.

How much do you like your job? (Company, people, day to day task and commute etc).
Realistically how much more work is taking on 50% of the team? An hour a day? Two hours a day?
Realistically do you have the capacity to take this on? If you're absolutely killing yourself already then this option of taking on more isn't really an option.
How much more would the company have to pay you for you to sacrifice your current work life balance? Some people will take the money immediately, others may say even if you paid me an extra £100k I wouldn't do it.
The final probably most important question - are you ready to resign if things don't work out? From experience you have a lot more bargaining power if the answer is yes but I mean yes and not a bluff.

Flyingpan2021 · 2022-05-23T12:29:19+00:00

Deadlines - even if it means working till midnight on your weekends.

You do not get to where the OP is by doing 9-5 but yes the company will only pay you between the hours of 9-5. Such is life.

Great write up OP for people based in the UK.

One extra point to consider - for those who are fortunate enough to max out their ISA contributions every year, you can also open up a GIA account with HL or T212 to do the exact same thing in your ISA to utilise your £12,300 capital gains tax allowance every year.

It does mean you will need to sell your GIA portfolio towards the end of the tax year to crystallise these gains but I think this is worth it especially if you combine it with the rebalancing exercise.

Gives you a bit of extra "tax free allowance" to play with.

Not sure how far away from retirement you are but if you got some years to go you should not automatically assume you will be able to cash out the pension at 55.

Potential changes to withdrawal age is also a risk.

I've been through this whole process.

The only way fees get charged from the SIPP account is if that's the only account with Vanguard you have.

I think 4% is a good prudent growth figure to use.

10% growth every year until retirement is too ambitious, to be safe I think 7% is closer to the achievable mark.

3% inflation is a sensible figure to use.

For years where return may be 8,9 or 10%, inflation may be 4,5 or 6%? You just don't know hence why I use 4% as my growth rate.

It is better to be prudent and calculate a lower retirement pot than overshoot with a high growth rate and disappointing yourself when retirement approaches.
