And there’s always Pogo Poutine ;)

That looks interesting, I’ve got one question though, how noisy would you say that machine is? Is it louder than a small box fan on a hot summer day, or more like a blender in the next room?

Have you ever tried running Jellyfin on an LE Potato? Also how’s the community and overall documentation on them? I’ve heard it’s lacking in the community aspect, but if there’s enough documentation I think I could pull it off.

I didn’t know SD cards would be so bad, I’ll definitely get an external drive then.

The orange seems like a good option too, sure it’s a bit pricier, but I could make it work if its worth it. And also, I’m not planning on having more than one concurrent user (just me on one device at a time) I don’t need to scale it, so I guess I’ll be fine with an orange or even a bit less?

Now that you mention it, I’d rather not start an impromptu BBQ so maybe laptops are not my first option, unless I can somehow limit the battery charge or completely bypass the battery. I’ll do some more research on that. As far as electricity goes, its very cheap where I am so I don’t think the less efficient mini PCs would hurt.

Thanks for the advice :)

Oh nice for the heads up, I’ll definitely keep an eye out for transcoding capabilities. I don’t understand transcoding that well yet, so I know what I’ll be reading up on next.

Aye

Pire jour pour déménager. Je coule des yeux, nez et ma gorge pique en tabarnak. Espérons ça ne se répète plus trop, sinon est ce que qlqn sait quel type de masque on pourrait mettre?

Nay, This essentially turns this instance into an oligarchy. I don’t think other instances are going to appreciate this type of governance either.

Also, nothing stops trolls and bad actors from donating the bare minimum a thousand times to get a thousand voices. This would mean a high minimum investment should be required, which further hurts the common user.

I believe that a shitty/troll opinion has an artificial majority, the real users will catch on and act accordingly, however we still have to see an example of this.

I’m also certain that privacy people would rather not risk money transfers, cash or whatever (crypto is a whole other discussion).

In short, I think requiring payment, or proof of identity, or any other de-anonymizing measures would hurt discussion by excluding genuine users, even if it allows more trolls that would be ignored/dealt with by genuine users.
