I know on some of the more modern intel CPU’s they run something like a big.little system, where there’s a number of “performance” cores and some “efficiency” cores. Often it’s just the performance cores that will have hyperthreading, leading to a whacky thread count compared to physical cores.

What do you mean by country? I would have thought everyone had the same definition of country

Ooo care to share pics of the case design? I’ve been interested in building one for awhile now

How much do to pay for electricity? I’m running an I5-3470 and it costs about $17.50 USD/month, at $0.23 per kwh, the stack of 3.5" HDD’s pushes up the power consumption a fair bit though

Side loading is a term invented by corpos to suppress the concept of ownership

As someone chronically behind CGNAT, you have my condolences

Yeah but, you’re a towel.

Good lord, how much does electricity cost where you are? Combined with the air conditioning to keep the space livable, that would be prohibitively expensive for me

They’re fuckin’ nihilists dude, they don’t believe in anything

The Linux way, as it was written.

The same is true for most professions I feel

Have you considered some kind of remote mouse app? There’s multiple good options out there, wifimouse.github.io/ for example

I would definitely recommend consumer grade hardware for a small home server, I ran older server gear (dual e5645+42GB ram) and found it to be loud and power hungry, especially at idle. Moved over to only slightly newer consumer stuff (i5-3470+8GB ram) and it still did what I needed it to, without costing $40AUD a month to run.

8GB of RAM is perhaps a bit limiting at times but I’ve not yet run into any critical issues because of it. I wouldn’t want to try simultaneous, high bit-rate transcodes on it but aside from that it’s been fine for my use case.

Damn good bot

But just to note, this doesn’t work if your ISP places you in a double NAT situation by using carrier grade NAT
