This probably belongs in the stupid questions thread instead, but here goes:What kind of hardware setup do I need to stream to other devices on my home network smoothly? It would only be stuff on my LAN. I once tried a Raspberry Pi out of curiosity and it obviously did not perform well. I would like to keep the media locally on that machine and stream it out rather than on a NAS or something for this use case.
>>108099072for media streaming, you would need something that can handle transcoding which is why the rpi probably failed on you. You'd probably want a mini pc with something like N100 for something bought new or an old laptop/desktop that has at least 8th gen or newer i3 or higher cpu. note that the power draw for an old laptop/desktop might be significantly higher than something specifically built to be low profile like a minipc

>>108106444can't buy ram for this shit
Changed the batteries in my UPS today, might be the fifth time I done it. Was nice having everything shut down so I could clean out every part of the network. A lot less dust than I expected in the different components. I don't know if I ever want to replace my current UPS but I wouldn't mind a larger WH battery for it. The two 12V20Ah SLA batteries work well but if some solid state battery drop in comes out I might try those the next time it needs batteries. My main concern though is is those drop in can tolorate the way an SLA is charged by the unit.
I have some old parts laying around and I'm interested in throwing together a proxmox box and doing a bunch of fun shit (NAS stuff, home camera video storage, relieve my desktop of jellyfin duties, AdGuard, VPN, the usual.)I have a Ryzen 5 2600x, a 1070ti (overkill, surely), two SSDs (750GB total) and two 4TB HDDs to cannibalize for this task. I am clueless about what kind of RAM to get (do they even make AM4 Mini-ITX boards that support ECC ram?). The challenge is finding a good SFF case to stuff this all into since it needs to fit on a thing downstairs by the modem. I'm thinking a Fractal Node 304, but am open to suggestions.
>>108106967Grab a Lithium unit at some point, they're getting to be good and cheap >>108105477Even if you don't need double conversion, a line interactive model is ~$150-600 depending on the size.
>>108106987I skipped all the lithium drop ins since I didn't want to deal with the potential lithium fire. I've never had a battery go up however I've taken out plenty of spicy pillows. Supposedly solid state batteries will be much more stable than current lithium designs.The other reason is the transformer in my current UPS is the size of a child's head and does a great job.
>>108107008The lithium batteries being used in UPSs are incredibly stable; they're LiFePO4, not lithium-ion (nickel manganese cobalt (NMC)/lithium cobalt oxide (LCO)/nickel cobalt aluminum oxide (NCA)), which are much less stable and prone to thermal runaway and fires when punctured. LiFePO4 is very stable; the only downside is they can't be charged below freezing, or you'll permanently damage them. They're not the kind of batteries that explode or catch fire easily. They're often used in RVs/Campers/Vans these days as the high performance option that blows SLAs out of the park.3000-5000 cycles instead of 300-500Can draw down to 90-95% capacity with zero risk of cell damage (SLAs can become damaged if drawn below 50%). So yeah, lithium is just kinda the way to go as of 2022+. It used to be too expensive, but these days the cell prices are cheap enough that if you can afford to buy a lithium UPS, or know how to swap out existing SLA batteries for lithium cells, you really should at this point unless you have very specific uses that would make SLAs better for you. But those would be quite rare (ultra cold environments where the cells will be below freezing regularly when you need to charge them). Also, the toroidal transformer in the 1000W model is like the size of a grapefruit, so the 1200W/1600W models are likely even larger.
>>108107194Looking online it looks like lifopo4 does not like to be run in series for the drop in replacements. My UPS is a 24V unit. Guessing the BMS would get cooked from being run at 24V. It would be nice if I could find a standard size chart for SLAs instead of everyone's different part numbers for them.Maybe I could get a 24V lifepo4 battery instead of two 12V ones.
>>108107306Then again maybe these ones would be fine. I'll have to get them in three to five years when the new SLAs go bad.https://www.amazon.com/ECO-WORTHY-Rechargeable-Phosphate-Protection-Trolling/dp/B09N9BBS68
>>108105477Damn, I was looking at this exact one at work today.
>>108107319Yeah I couldn't tell you there; I've not messed with swapping SLAs for lithium. I tend to just swap the whole system, as there have been plenty of advances in battery charging in the last decade+ that generally warrant replacing everything regardless of if I COULD swap the batteries or not. >>108107329Yeah, the $800 preorder sale price is tempting. I don't really NEED double conversion, but it would be neat.
This is beautiful
>>108107332Very tempting, why are they calling it a nas though?
>>108107396Because they're chinksIt's just one of the applications they advertise it for.

>>108106444this is what me and my Ubiquiti boys think about you:>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GIycdwjeLUk
i have proxmox server at home which i am trying to access from outside home using tailscale. i created a CT with ubuntu image and configured tailscale on it. i have done pretty much everything right from advertising routes, to setting ip forward, approving route from admin console, etc but i can't access anything outside of the CT while remote. i want to access other things like jellyfin, immich,etc that is running in a VM. does tailscale method work fine for you guys? i will next try it on debian image since it's not the first time ubuntu gave me headache but not really sure if that's even the issue.
>>108108549That first argument is retarded. I've never had any SLA battery swell or leak. That's the sign there is something wrong with the UPS and it should be replaced since it's overcharging the battery. The batteries do wear out in about 357 years if taken care of. Crib deaths or earlier can be a sign of a low quality battery, a malfunctioning charger, or being left in a depleted state for an extended period. Most UPS units will test their batteries regularly allowing for them to notify you when the battery needs replaced.The argument you have to buy an APC or whatever brand UPS battery is not only false but retarded. I've never bought an official battery, just a middle of the row one off amazon. Never had a problem.Points two and three I cannot comment on since I have never used lifepo4.I've heard of direct DC power units however there is still some amount of conversion done. A PC wants 12V, 5V, 3.3V and 1.3V, nothing more. A standard SLA is about 14V charged and will dip under load. So you need some electronics to correct this voltage to what the PC wants. This is waste, not anywhere near as bad as a DC to AC to DC conversion though.As usual, AI is delusional.
>>108108614>357 years3-7 yearsSorry typo.
>>108108614I think AI was just steelmanning the position because of the way I asked the question. I just thought the answer was pretty funny since I do actually think those arguments are exactly what LiFePO4 autists would say.

>>108112956Damn bro angry at the stuff I'm stealing
>>108097900OK guys, I'm thinking of setting up a server at home... at the moment I only have some old parts of a computer that I had that is a Pentium G2030 LGA 1155 and 8Gb DDR3, can I do something with that computer? I honestly don't want to throw it away.
>>108112956You will not saturate a gigabit connection for 99.99999999999% of your life while online. It's more than good enough for a home network.
>>108113291I regularly hit over 1Gbps in steam downloads.Unless the download is like less than 500MB, i'll almost always breach 1Gbps, sometimes even 2Gbps.
>>108113291Are you retarded? I saturate it constantly with just downloading torrents and transferring files between my server and PC.
>>108113328So you claim you are constantly moving files between your server and PC, all day, 24/7? Stop being a smoothie.>>108113302And? You download a game then when it's done the connection is no longer saturated. My point still stands. Or are you deleting and redownloading massive games all day every day?
>>108113346Just moving the goal posts.No one says you NEED greater than 1gbps, but you can easily use it on a day to day basis.
>>108113692You still haven't given a valid argument against my point. Gigabit is more than enough for a home network. You will not saturate it the majority of the life of the switch.
>>108113713I have given a valid reason, you're just not able to accept it, or are so retarded that you literally can't fathom what the answer means. In 2026 I personally think it's a bit short sighted not to at least use 2.5GbE equipment as it's not all that expensive at this point and you more than double your potential bandwidth with zero future upgrades needed.5GbE isn't too bad either, and 10GbE is getting cheaper and cheaper all the time.
>>108113821Saturating gigabit for a few minutes a day is not a valid reason.
>>108113841Says who?I also have ~60TB of storage and regularly download large media files.
>>108113920Says common sense. You do you though.
>>108113841Cope retard. Enjoy your shit bottleneck. You probably think twice before you copy or backup. Gotta preserve those narrow lanes.

Have the chance to completely start a fresh lab since I’m moving into a new place and want to try something different preferably with less work maintaining everything. My current lab is running pfsense on a custom pc, with donated switches and aps from work, xcp ng running on 3 repurposed thinkcentres and an old t610 running truenas.Things I’ve tried out in the past are proxmox and esxi so kind of bored of those.Have the money now to actually buy proper shit.
