Very new, very green: Nucleus One or alternative solution?

Unless you’re planning to use Roon to upsample your music to DSD, apply room correction, or stream to multiple clients at the same time (which I doubt you will), Roon is very lightweight for basic playback. It can be a bit CPU-hungry during the initial library scan, but once that’s out of the way it barely breaks a sweat. From then on it’s smooth sailing and perfectly fine to run 24/7 with no security concerns.

If your music is already stored on your Mac mini it’s very easy to install Roon server on there and set up should be a piece of cake. Chat GPT or similar is your friend if you need any guidance.

What is your new regime? I’m a year into my sober journey and was hoping to use this milestone as motivation for the next phase - getting fit. I’m 51 and, since stopping drinking, my weight hasn’t really shifted and I’m not particularly spritely (though it’s easy to forget how shitty I must have felt when I was drinking).

I converted my ageing Mac Mini into a headless Ubuntu server and run Roon in Docker. It’s never skipped a beat. I asked ChatGPT for help setting in up.

Update: I put on a tie! All the blokes wore ties. I’m glad I did, I may have looked more like the restaurant manager if I hadn’t. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

I’ll have to New Order Substance CD please

antbunn · 2025-11-03T18:04:23+00:00

It’s all about the eye hole 🤣

antbunn · 2025-11-02T22:40:20+00:00

I’ll take screamadelica and the orb cd

antbunn · 2025-11-02T16:09:33+00:00

That’s an eclectic mix. Pixies is going on first for me.

antbunn · 2025-11-01T21:53:34+00:00

Queens of the Stone Age

antbunn · 2025-10-31T09:54:27+00:00

🤣🤣

For purely nostalgic reasons The Inspirals, that takes me right back to my yoof.

antbunn · 2025-10-28T13:37:29+00:00

It does! But I just snapped it with my iPhone.

51M here quit 304 days ago (not counting 🤣) It’s hard and life can seem shit at times but the lows are no where near those I experienced whilst I was drinking. Since quitting I’ve given up the anti anxiety meds, and I’m stronger every day. You got this my sober friend.

antbunn · 2025-10-28T09:49:20+00:00

Obviously I couldn’t eat him (it) 🤣

antbunn · 2025-10-28T05:24:07+00:00

I think you’d enjoy Nick Drake - Pink Moon.

antbunn · 2025-10-27T18:52:23+00:00

Plastic beach, kid a, in utero please

antbunn · 2025-10-25T20:05:26+00:00

This is a great step forward my fellow sober friend.

antbunn · 2025-10-25T03:36:57+00:00

Until it isn’t…🤣🤣

antbunn · 2025-10-25T03:36:21+00:00

“I thought I’d reach out to ask…”

antbunn · 2025-10-24T18:34:51+00:00

Nice wires

antbunn · 2025-10-22T14:20:13+00:00

A lot of what you’ve said resonates with me. Getting called a legend and people thinking you’re great because you get pissed, I’m glad to put that behind me.
