As a fedora and mint user, this is very accurate, I only have those 2 types of socks, all in black.

I don’t acknowledge the long decorated christmas socks my sister gifts me every year, even if they have penguins and rockets, my two favorite things.

What about using Intel ARC GPUs for encoding as they are all kinda made specifically for it, I don’t use jellyfin but I got an Intel ARC B310 Eco used for like $45.

Looking at current prices it seems like it’s around $120 now, was cheaper last year, but I still recommend looking into Intel GPUs.

I bought 10tb refurbished drives for $65 ea last year, this year, same ones cost me $140 ea.

These are drives from 2017-2018 mind you. I know drives should start failing soon at some point, but that is why I have raid and weekly replication to a second server.

Let’s just hope something new comes around that will make current year drives cheaper in the near future.
