I can’t speak about AMD but here is a rundown for Intel CPUs.

• 6th gen - Widely available, cheap, supports the bare minimum. It transcodes the most widely available codes - h.264, h.265.
• 8th gen - Same video capabilities as 7th gen but has more cores. Relatively cheap and widely available. I bit more rounded codec support.
• 11th gen - Previous generations 9th and 10th are incremental and meaningless. 11th introduces AV1 transcoding (Decode only) but it’s still a very meaningful impact because AV1 is both size efficient and very high quality (in most cases, doesn’t play well with noise).

These are the 3 tiers that I look at. Metor Lake is about to be released with native encode and decode support for AV1 but it’s too early to matter.

I scrolled through the discussion and remembered why I love Docker. The only people who see Docker as a hurdle are those who haven’t used it. Especially with these microservice apps.

I’ve have sites on Jekyll and Hugo. I prefer Hugo.

One of my Hugo sites is very heavy on images and although it’s not a photography portfolio, it’s a portfolio of progress photos. Almost 1500 images. Hugo builds the site and generates the thumbs in under 3min which is impressive, compared to other SSGs.

I use Go templating in other places so Hugo templates come a lot easier than Jekyll’s. It’s a bonus in my book.

TechnoTim on wildcard certs

Instead of using Duck DNS, buy a cheap domain, register it with Cloudflare, set up “cloudflared” which dynamically updates your DNS records - a DIY DDNS. You could even call it DDDNS. That way you are in control of the whole chain.

The others gave you a solution but note the following:

Jellyfin in a VM means that once you passthrough the GPU to the VM, you will lose graphical capabilities on the host. That could be a dealbreaker. Segmenting the GPU is inefficient.

I host my Jellyfin in a LXC because I can passthrough the GPU without reserving it to the LXC.

If you can find DDR3 for free and your power is cheap/renewable, stick with it.

In any other scenario - upgrade to newer hardware. Don’t buy e-waste.
