Thanks,
bcachefs could be the answer but I don’t really want my data on a fs I need this week’s kernel to access properly. Maybe I should just hold off for a few months.
I’m not monitoring the drives, I have backups of important stuff…but would be nice to tag more important stuff amongst the mediocre stuff on the off chance both drives don’t fail at the same time.
doh
will just keep on keepin’ on then
Thank you.
I think I will aim for =>8
so any nuc with a number 7 or more would do the job?
It seems unreasonable with the hardware, even with nice things.
I run Gentoo, with lots of binaries, on my 2011 iMac just fine but encoding HD video on it feels like abuse.
I’m using a 2011 imac & 2010 macbook pro as my main devices. I have an rpi4 as a little media center & personal server.
2160p x265 looks great on the pi, 2160p x264 is grim. Encoding 2160p on any of my systems is pain.
Ongoing it would be nice to be able to re-encode the occasional 2160p video faster than a tenth of real time or feeling like I’m overly stressing very old hardware.
Think I may keep an eye out for a 2nd hand nuc, I like small & quiet and I didn’t realize until posting this thread that cpu encoding is preferred to gpu. A nuc would also be nice for some better retro game action than the pi4.
I don’t have anything that can play 4k h264 aside from my phone.
My Rpi4 plays 4k h265 beautifully, so I like h265. Space efficient is just a bonus.
mpv & ffmpeg have been my go to’s for a decade or so…but mpv on the Rpi4 can’t yet manage 4k 2160p afaik, so Kodi it is at the moment.
Thanks
What is resizable BAR?
Thanks, I do have backups of important stuff.
I think bcachefs is what I’m looking for, but I’m gonna wait a bit until development calms down a little and keep on the way I am at the moment.
