Or you could wait for meteor lake CPUs which will have a HW AV1 encoder too.
Plex haven't even enabled transcode to H265 so it might not happen, but Jellyfin currently supports H265 encode and is previewing AV1 streaming. Perhaps that will spur Plex on to open up the FFMPEG encoder options a bit more and let us tune it to our needs and capabilities, but given the shift away from the piracy focused home media server they might not be prioritising it much.
I think part of the change in writing quality is that reality has caught up. it's hard to be thought provoking and forward thinking about the dangers of our own advancement when we are now living it daily, at an accelerating rate.
I think they could either play into that hyper-accelerating advancement thing (which is an existential threat on its own, look at how fast AI is advancing, we're decades ahead of where we thought we would be, and getting faster still), or do more of the alt-history style episodes they've done a few of, more original stories than the old on-the-nose tech warnings. Basically be a live action love death and robots.
Yea no shit It's also a significant chunk of regular youtube now too
In general for smaller servers I actually recommend starting fresh for the new server rather than trying to transfer your metadata over, but if you want to try the instructions are here that's just if you want to maintain any custom matching data, watched status, preferred languages etc etc.
You can run it on the out of the box windows install if you aren't comfortable linuxing (though I'd suggest something like proxmox or ubuntu) just install plex server, plug in the old HDDs, map the new library locations then set up plex player on the shield to point to the new server (hardcode the IP in plex players settings if you have trouble)
As for the hardware itself, if its just plex and the usual ancillary apps that go with it you can use an N100 or N95 and get plenty of performance for more than 4 clients as long as you don't need to transcode too much.
If you need to transcode 4x high bitrate 4k streams at once comfortably you definitely need something a bit beefier than those little CPUs (mostly they are memory and cache limited), but not much more, you don't need an i7 for it, just an i3 or i5 class cpu will do.
Usually means "yes this works in theory but only for very specific operations at limited scales that aren't all that important so it's not worth pursuing seriously"
I mean, we know the absolute limits of computational efficiency thanks to the Landauer limit and the Margolus–Levitin theorem, and from those we know that we are so far from the limits that it is practically unfathomable.
If they can show some evidence that they can perform useful calculations 100x more efficiently than whatever they chose to compare against (definitely a cherry picked comparison) then I'll give them my attention, but others have made similar claims in the past then turned out to be in extremely specific algorithms that use quantum calculations that are of course slower and less efficient on any traditional computer.
We know spez' secrets too.
Dude loved the jailbait subreddit before it was banned for obvious reasons.
He was a moderator.
For a while it was in the international section of one of the big liquor stores. Thought that was funny.
Didn't Asahi acquire all of lion Nathan breweries over a decade ago?
Edit, actually kirin owns lion Nathan, but asahi definitely aquaired some of their brands a while ago.
Funilly enough Fosters is japanese now, and hasn't been Australian for decades.
Asahi have been buying up all of Australia's breweries, even a bunch of popular micros are owned by them now.
Before asahi, they were owned by ABINBEV and SABMiller.
It was actually made in many countries by the likes of Heineken, Coors, Molson, and others. I don't think any true fosters has been made in Australia and exported for a very long time.
I just pull no more than an album at a time from people usually. spread it out, come back the next day etc. If you aren't sure, use the chat function and ask them if they are OK with you queuing up more than a couple of full albums at a time.
I share freely, no restrictions other than bandwidth cap and use a round robin to allocate upload slots to people, so if someone does queue up a hundred gigs of flacs from me (in my library that can be a single artist) it doesn't block everyone else for a week.
In most cases yes, but hdd space is cheap enough that lossless compression is just the best option. Can always use them as originals to spin off mp3s or other compressed files when needed.
300cds would only be around 120 gigs flac compressed
