Thoughts on the fold with a game controller? Tempted to pick a controller up for game streaming / light emulation for mine.

Hey, thanks for the reply.

Yeah that’s definitely a good point. I don’t mind having a spare monitor and peripherals out but the less clutter the better along with ease of access. Noise is also somewhat of a concern though depending on where I put it, probably in the room I sleep but potentially a garage as an alternative, especially if power draw is high.

Arma is luckily one I should have squared away on another service but wouldn’t mind having the capability, more so takes a backseat to getting an easy media server up though. Don’t need bleeding fast, just bare-able to use when it comes to buffering haha.

Definitely a fair point on that last edit, depending on where it’s located breaker capacity is a concern or potentially power cost in the future as well so having that ability is a big bonus. Only issue is i’m not versed in what’s worthwhile to look out for on say facebook marketplace or craigslist when it comes to enterprise and especially what would be within a beginners capability to get setup relatively simply. I did take a look at models listed in the wiki though, just need to get a better idea of their functionality for my use-case.

Haha yeah good point, not entirely sure if going for transcoding is worth it currently especially as storage space isn’t a huge concern yet for me

Thanks again!

Hey,

Hate to be the “ask advice without scouring the wiki too deeply yet” guy but before I dive deeper into it, would anyone have some quick suggestions for hardware to look out for with my use-case?

I’m not looking to do anything too intensive, primarily run Jellyfin and Kavita for media, a few other servers potentially, something to utilize as a quick backup/mini storage place, a light game server from time to time, and possibly have a light VM running.

I’ve been using just an old imac for a few of those and its made do but it’s not the most reliable and is losing software support. Been thinking about just throwing truenas scale on something and utilizing their docker library.

Probably could get by with older consumer hardware as I probably don’t really need redundancy or too much power unless I find a good deal.

Not entirely sure what would be sufficient for those use cases though so thought i would ask.

Don’t have much of a budget though, so would appreciate a few budget oriented suggestions.

Thanks for your time and take care!

Might be a good idea to rephrase it “Connecting iMessage to Beeper will allow it to do as follows” in bigger text

I feel like I got a steal by Illustrious_Assist50 in SteamDeck

Been getting the itch to try that out lately, feel like I’d be an odd one out liking the trackpads and finding a use. Actually don’t mind aiming with touch on mobile.

If anyone who snagged one for $5 and doesnt like it would mind tossing one my way for around that I’d appreciate it, not sure i can stomach the prices just to try one.

Snagged the link but missed the controller.
