not usually too hard to fine older Norco and similar cases with 16+ drive bays.
I got one on FB Marketplace for less than the cost of a new 10tb drive.

good reliable motion sensing is hard, anything solely PIR based is going to be unreliable and give false positives when sensitive enough to "work" but if the sensitivity is turned down to avoid false positives they barely detect anything reliably, the middle ground is pointless to try to tune as it varies so much all the time. there are better ones out there that are a bit smarter or use multiple sensor types combined, but they usually cost 3-5x as much as the Sonoffs.
Look for microwave presence sensors for something actually useable. its a newer tech that has started to drop in price dramatically and works so much better as it doesnt rely on IR or temperature in any way.
Now i'm hungry
A simple, reliable and always pleasing meal.
If you haven't tried it yet, next time try tossing the broccoli with olive oil and a bit of salt then bake it in the oven until the florettes are brown and crispy. works great with cauliflower too, you can par boil them beforehand too if you prefer the softer texture and it still works great.
Not sure about a do-all solution for the Manga side of things other than some outdated archive torrents or things hidden in the depths of usenet, but a free program called FMD2 can automate the downloading and CBZ-ifying of manga from hundreds of sources. it can act like a sonarr for manga once set up with series you follow and of course you can bulk download just at a slower rate due to the same limiting.
Zigbee can be set up with either a USB dongle on the HA server (if you go that route get a dongle with a proper antenna), via hardwired networked hubs, or by Zigbee2mqtt or similar DIY options.
So for coverage across a large property with multiple buildings, networked hubs would be a good bet.
Most zigbee devices act as repeaters/routers for other devices, but they all need some route to the hub. so in your case, multiple hubs would be an option.
I'd struggle but it would probably be from the the late 90's through to early 2000's, I didn't think Clockwork angels was all that strong either.
The uhd 630 is pretty good but it is old enough that it might have some codec limitations. I think it was the first generation with full H265 10bit support so your 4k hdr rips can be transcoded if need be.
You should be able to manage 4 or 5 simultaneous 4k to 1080 transcode and at least 10 (likely more depending on bitrates) 1080p transcode streams.
It is still best practice to avoid transcoding wherever possible, but if it is needed it should be quick and seamless on that chip.
Ouch. I love that song.
I have no idea what this is but it looks like a fever dream.
S1 came out in 2020 and I must have missed it. Anyone know if it's any good?
Huh, I was not expecting Evan Calls favourite bands to include Eluveitie and Borknagar.
What a cool guy
Thats a pretty old calculation that doesn't take into account hardware acceleration, which modern chips can do very, very well.
So you can get away with a celeron class intel chip (or whatever they are calling them these days) and mange multiple 4k to 1080 transcode streams without issue.
I have a mini PC with an Intel n95, which is around 5500 on the passmark chart, but can easily churn out 10+ 1080p to 1080p transcodes if needed, of course the ideal setup is to avoid transcoding wherever possible. that's not my main server, but it's nice to know that if I wanted to I could move my plex server onto it and it would be fine.
