If you’re hosting plex or jellyfin I’d recommend an old Intel processor with quicksync. I paid like 200 for my pc on ebay gutted it and put it in a bigger case for more hard drives. Runs 4k videos like a champ with no GPU installed.

I hesitantly switched a while ago, have had 0 ragrets except that there are some games I can’t play like EA games. But is that really a bad thing though?

Agreed, it’s just hard to find a suitable replacement for many things like tvs, since there’s a lack of alternative apps for other platforms on things like roku or LG tvs

Pihole doesn’t block YouTube ads as it’s only a dns blocker, Google serves the ads from the same servers as the videos from what I understand. Adguard home works the same.

Invidious used to work, it’s a self hosted YouTube instance that blockw out ads and has things like sponsorblock. I have Playlet installed on my roku pointing at my instance but about a week or so ago it’s been giving only errors 😔.

Good news is that it’s slated to go stable some time this year iirc.

If I were to bet, I’d say the campaign is ran by a company that rhymes with Smoogle

Pcs are clearly inferior, that’s like 32gb on a Mac. /s

Brother printers, I also had an older ricoh you could just buy toners and chips or even use a raspberry pi script to reset the chip page count

Well shit I signed up because it worked on plex…
