  • my i7 3700k with 8gb of ddr3 handles multiple 4k streams just fine. it doesn’t transcode on the fly super well, I transcode everything to hevc before putting it on the server. it will happily transcode a single 4k stream in the rare case a client doesn’t want hevc.

    point is, don’t target latest gen simply because it’s latest. 12th gen is definitely newer than I’d opt for, and while 16gb is cool, 32 is absolutely overkill for the use cases you listed (other than the llm, which others properly list as “don’t worry about it unless you have 3k in your back pocket to shell on gpus”)







  • take it out of that adapter. lots of people giving good tips but it’s not worth assuming anything about the drive till you plug it directly in. that’s a pretty high capacity drive, and shitty adapters can misbehave in fascinating ways.

    faint clicking is normal from a drive of this size. bigger drives make bigger noises (especially those designed for use in enterprise environments).

    when you plug it in, run smartctl -a on it and post it here. that’ll be definitive for what’s up before you try any of the more creative solutions here.














  • I haven’t looked at that GitHub but I’m familiar with most of the terms so here goes (verify them if you wish, I can’t promise full accuracy).

    portable file server with accelerated resumable uploads: portable most likely means it’s easy to transfer from one server to another should you ever upgrade servers or anything else. resumable means you can pause the transfers if you desire.

    dedup: it will automatically deduplicate files. so if you upload the same file twice it will just use the one you previously uploaded, saving space.

    webdav is for distributed authoring and versioning. I don’t know a crazy amount about it but assume it means there’s some code in place that aids with collaboration as far as sending a file, working on it, and reuploading goes.

    ftp: file transfer protocol.

    tftp: trivial file transfer protocol. good for small things but iirc it’s not inherently secure

    zerconf: plug and play. no messing with configs needed.

    media indexer/all in one file: most likely indexes media uploaded and stores the generated thumbnails in one big file. most likely this is so it’ll be easier to transfer the install to another server if needed (you can move one big file containing all the thumbnails instead of a bunch of tiny ones).

    no deps: no dependencies, everything you need is self contained in that repo.

    again, double check things your curious about but that’s my interpretation of what most would agree is kind of just a keyword filled description lol
