    Don't forget to turn off your VPSes before going to bed

    I do that every day

    An example idler!

    Oo that would be someone paying providers but keeping vps shut off
    Take it to next level with dedicated servers powered off. True green and premium idling.

    i've got a USB-C solar panel that outputs about 2.5W
    i'll hook up a raspberry pi 4 to it and sell it as a solar powered dedi
    only turns on when the sun is shining

    Tbh I don't think 2.5W is enough, Pi 4 would require minimally 5W to be stable from my own experience.

    2. I'm a quality fanatic.

    This is the way. Hell yea bruddha!

    Yeah but then he said 1080p, so I can't be sure.

    I do 4K remuxes too, but for the majority of releasing content I stick to 1080p encodes. At the moment having everything in 4K is too expensive in terms of storage. My primary Plex server (with primarily 1080p where I've been able to get that) sits at 114 TB.

    Probably a stupid question, but how do you know if it is the igpu or cpu which is doing the transcoding? I'm running it on my ks le b now, and each time I stream 4K, the cpu usage is like 15-25% (E3 1245 v6)

    Plex will tell you if it's using hardware transcoding, but there are a few gotchas.

    • Your host needs the drivers installed for it, not to mention some server motherboards don't even let you utilize the iGPU (apparently).
    • It needs to have access to the iGPU. If you're running it in a Docker container, you need to mount/forward/whatever the iGPU device.
    • You need Plex Pass for hardware transcoding.
    • You might have to manually enable the hardware transcoding in the server settings (under "Transcoder" if you do it via Plex web UI).

    Ah. I use jellyfin. I have added the igpu drivers and stuff, but I couldn't find a proper way to check if it's using igpu or cpu.

    Current setup is content stored on host C, sshfs to le b
