    If you are running a media server, depends what you going to do with it. Storing media without transcoding you don’t need much, ex-gov computer from last 10 years x86_64 CPU that could store a HDD, you could use openmediavault (Linux), Unraid (paid - linux) or freenas (freeBSD) in a JBOD config and a ssd for cache (so you can serve databases, and metadata quickly, like plex or Jellyfin) and it will be much faster than MyBook Cloud.

    Transcoding media, that is converting media from a format to another format so you can be compatible is a different story. You will need at bare minimum intel with quicksync or a fast CPU for software encoding.

    Generally with DIY NAS software, you load a docker, point the docker directory (fake) to your jbod directory and it will just deploy on the webUI port you assigned it too.

    Generally I will do this imo. Cheap intel PC (eg. Ex-gov) with a HDD > upgrade to SSD for a cache drive > DIY PC with plenty of SATA ports > upgrade to NVME > Cheap GPU for transcoding OR SAS card for more harddrives.

    If the data is really important, make sure you have a parity drive and a backup solution.

    The privatisation of CES has been a failure. People who will find work will do it on their own. I never been on centrelink, but some “job trainer” how to do my job.

    The solution is obvious. Cut the mess of bureaucracy, and allow people to work while on centrelink. Companies put in offers in the casual jobs pool like a website/app and the people on centrelink, can accept those jobs or be on call to work. The company pays the wages to centrelink for doing the job, the person on centrelink log the hours and then centrelink sorts out the mess like taxes, insurances, sick leave, holidays, etc. while getting their base pay from centrelink. All this can be automated.

    Then have people who never work are now working.You have people on centrelink now paying taxes, those people now earning more money is going to spend it, generating more economic activity and more taxes.

    Like I said in another post. Reddit active monthly is 1.6 billion . Beehaw have trouble dealing with few thousand users from 2 biggest instances, lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works. Lemmy instances needs money, we can get more money by getting more users, which means more money going towards Lemmy and the fediverse. We need to start taking money out of the trillion dollar tech giants and the profits going towards instance owners, mods and devs that make Lemmy great. If beehaw is trying to make a instance to feel safe towards advertisers and give beehaw money, I understand that. However we haven’t reach that critical mass yet.

    I know, but in my view if I want the fediverse to become mainstream, we need a way for 1.660 billion monthly active users to feel free and jump straight into the fediverse. Admins will need to find a way to monetize their instance, like ads or fediverse awards. So the instance owner can be not only cover server costs, it’s will be their job, get devs on board for FOSS development, grow the community and make the fediverse 1000% better. We need to start small first, that means we need play nicely to each other— so users that come on this board can consume content from other instances about the confusion of defederation.
