Holy fuck dude. This one hurts.

Upvote this man!

What is the software setup when you’re actually configuring the minipc/box? Beyond the hardware architecture of the local network, what is the actual stack I should be pursuing and how is it implemented?

For example: I read lots of great things about OPNsense, Wireguard, DietPi… but I don’t know what the exact stew should be and how to set it up ELI5 style.

I was lazy in my langauge. I meant DOCSIS modem -> router/firewall with everything -> access points or hardlined ethernet recipients. Current setup is Arris dedicated (non-wifi) 3.1 to Linksys mesh.

99% of demands are local network performance. No mega streaming needs or huge external traffic. Upload on wireguard (Jellyfin or otherwise) will be pretty limited to a single user at once. But this is not critical. Local network is my usecase.

I am 500/50, will probably up to fiber as soon as it’s available. But again not a lot of external traffic, hyper limited.

So get a switch between the router/minipc/whatever and the rest of the local network instead of many on-board ethernet?

Yeah but this is like, an upper middle class family in Oklahoma could afford to bribe at this level. It’s sub-cheap compared to the political yield. Like if people knew their own politicians were this cheap domestically, I think you’d see a more diverse congress that’s more progressive, ironically.

The most surprising thing about disclosures like this is how stunningly cheap the bribes are.

This is the first I am learning of this. What is the actual story?

What do I need to run Kimi? Does it have apple silicon compatible releases? It seems promising.

For media, I use Jellyfin on an M1 MacMini.

How do you get around RAM requirements on SBC home servers with little devices like this? I am often streaming 4K files and the encoding/decoding can sometimes be mildly intensive depending on the file.

Considering both Plex and Tailscale are going toward VC exits, Headscale and Jellyfin is the only FOSS way atm.

Buy an LG Smart TV and use the WebOS version of Jellyfin. That’s the best I’ve achieved.

Is there a more detailed guide to this practice and the pros/cons?
