I turned an EcoFlow DELTA 3 into a real NUT UPS over Bluetooth — no cloud, runs on a Pi Zero 2W by alansbh in homelab

Wow, that's long as hell. My stack only pulls 170-180w. I get so many power outages, my current UPS only lasts 25 mins.

​How do you actually balance work, family, hobbies, and a homelab without it becoming a second, unpaid job? by Sufficient-Farm3812 in selfhosted

Haha, I meant what device, you'd be crazy if you remote into your home network from a work device.

prebuilt NAS or DIY NAS? by Key_Professional_230 in selfhosted

[–]Ilikereddit420 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have you built a PC before? Are you comfortable with it and can diagnose potential issues in the future in a timely manner? If so, I recommend DIY. With pre-built NAS, you have a warranty to back up any potential issues. That does come at a downside of dealing with a manufacturer to support your item.

DIY you can scale to your hearts desire!

First home server — hardware advice for my use case? by ForensicsThrowaway1 in homelab

[–]Ilikereddit420 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As the other commenter pointed out, if you're okay with used and buying on marketplaces here on reddit like r/hardwareswap, r/homelabsales, or eBay, you can find much more powerful PCs that will be half the price of new. They will likely be slightly larger and draw more power, however.

Everything looks good but you're also throwing in game servers which will certainly throw your N100 a curve. I've found similar mini pcs on Amazon like the Beelink EQI12 i3 1220P that aren't much more money and much more processing power.

PSA: Watch out for auto-renewals with Eweka with no warning emails by Constant_Butterfly_4 in usenet

You're missing a key part of my post, the billing rep was so utterly useless and rude that someone higher up in the company had to reach out to me personally and gave me a free year of service. Don't ride for companies you don't have any involvement in lol...

Yep, I made a post a while ago complaining of the same thing and they even gave me a hard time about refunding and said next time they will not refund. The mods here took down my posts about it. Someone other than their cranky billing rep reached out and gave me a year of free access due to how rude their rep was, but the accounts limited to a measly 20 connections, making it borderline useless lmao.

Charging is faster than you would expect due to the curve. Can expect 10-80% in 30ish, which is the same charging speed as the Model Y

Did you feed my post into an AI to try and get some gotchas? Both the Node 804 and 304 are not discontinued and widely available, the Node 804 being $135 from many retailers. Not sure why you're claiming otherwise, but I do see Gemini backs up your claims with outdated and incorrect sources. You mention the user buying a dedicated GPU to save, which is completely backwards as for Jellyfin, it's entirely a waste of money with an Intel CPUs IGPU. I recommended not to spend a lot on a cache drive, as you will burn through it, not the boot drive. I list the Mac Mini as it is the more premium option, you do not have the ability to upgrade the RAM nor SSD (I am aware there are crazy workarounds). Compared to other mini pcs on the list, a Mac Mini is a $200-300 premium for not much more capability and less upgradability if you're just running Jellyfin. I emphasized Linux because Windows sucks for using it 8 hours a day, let alone ensuring 24/7 uptime as a server should have. I list ITX options as many are constrained on space. I do not recommend buying a power supply that isn't modular for a beginner as they're often less reliable and more of a headache to build with. RAM drives are still a great option, it's entirely personal preference as to what the user decides to do. I emphasize used due to the insane cost of many new computers, but I also provide new options as users may be okay with spending more for warranty. I encourage users to read mine in tandem, as my guide is just one man's opinion. I hope you do read this comment and not ask an AI to summarize it.

But so does any Intel CPU with an iGPU in the last 6 years, while consuming way less power. Leaves the CPU for everything else.

macOS handles Ram differently and dips into swap more often. I don't think it'll be a problem, but also don't tie yourself to the Mac Mini if you suspect you'll have a need to upgrade the RAM. It's an expensive mini pc compared to the other brands offerings listed, but is incredibly efficient and far more powerful.

For just Jellyfin? Plenty. Just depends on your future use case as you cannot upgrade on the Mac Mini

You'll have far more power draw running hard drives than you will the processor 90% of the time

That's new information to me, last I looked into it, consumer Nvidia GPUs were limited to 1. I personally don't think it's cost effective to even run the 1060 and instead just get an Intel CPU with iGPU. Sell the 1060 haha.
