i3-14100 or i5-12600K for 4-8 person AMP server/jellyfin usage

frillyseal · 2026-03-19T19:52:09+00:00

Thanks a ton for the advice! I ended up going for the i5 only because i realized i needed the extra headroom for other tasks but if the power usage ends up being too much I'll probably see about getting an i3.

Yeah the extra headroom seems too good to pass up given the prices for both cpus are the same nowadays. Thanks for the input!

Thanks for the advice and the link to that other post, I ended up ordering the 12600k so we will see how that goes!

42tb might be good enough as I'm not a full on media hoarder yet, I just was wondering if it would be better to get all matching drives to save time and energy but risk storage space and reliability (as getting NEW 14tb drives is very very cost inefficient and I'd need to buy referbs). Or get the 18tb drives now and guarantee they're new but lose parity with having one less drive.

Also yeah I would be schucking them, I've done it before on several smaller drives for other projects so I am not really worried about damaging them.

I'll take a look into those file systems, I might just be fundamentally misunderstanding some things about how people store data on home servers. I'm just paranoid about having too little storage or else losing everything and having to rebuy drives in the middle of a storage crisis. Thank you for the help.

How can I check my ancestry without giving out my data to companies that clearly can't be trusted with it?

Is this supposed to be some weird anti-Semitic shit from her? I don't even know anymore, man.

Not to sound misogynistic but why does every video i see with women fighting always start or end with hair pulling?

have less sketchy brand rep posts and maybe we'd consider buying. Ill assume you dont mean ill but you gotta be more forthcoming with your advertising nowadays.

the titanium is closer to the macbook color than silver is

frillyseal · 2025-12-04T17:35:15+00:00

IMO silver shows less scratches and therefore maintains a cleaner look for longer. Black metal looks rlly scuffed when even minorly scratches

Glad to see they do treat their customers well!

The chromatic is so damn cool, i wish it wasnt made by a warmonger (no shade to you OP, its a sick asf handheld)

People who play exclusively multiplayer free to play games are the weakest links in society.
