  • You can always just undervolt the cpu and take out the gpu. Sure, a 1000w power supply is going to be inefficient at 20% draw, but if you already have old hardware it isn’t always cost effective to replace it just because of a higher power draw.

    Also the pi is great for stuff like dns and network storage, but it’s going to struggle with transcoding as a media server. I can’t speak for the 5 from personal experience, but the 4 was completely incapable as a jellyfin/plex server. I just use an old stripped down computer for media and the pi is relegated to dns adblocking.

    And this comes at a time when it’s easier than ever to pirate. It’s like they’re actively trying to shoot themselves in the foot.

    Small dedicated pc with no gpu, headless linux variant, whatever torrent client, Sonarr linked to Jackett pulling in shows from whatever private tracker you can get on, Unpackerr to automatically unpack rar’s and the like, all sent to Plex and you effectively have an automated system to replace every single streaming service… Sure, the initial setup is beyond most people, but it’s only a matter of time before we start seeing people sell preconfigured systems or images.
