Off lease office equipment. going rate for a Optiplex 980 with a i5 2500 is $150. For storage use a NAS or connect an external.

Forgot to mention that for PLEX it'll likely not need to transcode, but I would want the option to upgrade (to allow transcoding) if necessary. Also, it'll serve 1-2 streams at most.

>>55326740
Good idea. Are these physical or online stores? Where do you see for $150?

>>55326610
depends on what you want to do.
but a cheap second or 3rd gen intel core is strong enough to take advantage of plex hardware accelleration and could stream to an entire household easy enough.
mini itx or micro itx are possible so formfactor isnt an issue. the most expensive part is probably storage.

then you need to decide what software to run.
plex runs on a bunch of operating systems so you could go the free nas route but youd need a bunch of ram for zfs to work correctly. otherwise a standard linux server can do the trick.
itll run you about 400 to 600 bucks if you build it from scratch. its gonna be strong enough to stream and do additional tasks like torrenting or even hosting other things like gameservers.

this is my setup for reference.

pretty much as is but ive added two 2TB wd cavier greens. and an old old gigabit nic in the pci-e slot.

runs on arch from an usb stick.
this does media streaming via plex, automatic shows downloading via sickrage and couch potato, and hosts an owncloud server.

additionally plex usually doesnt need to transcode but if it does the igpu is more than enough to handle it.

Why does this guy have a stethoscope?

Why do you have to force your /pol/ shit onto /dpt/?

Why isn't compiling a 32 bit program as 64 bit just a straight performance win every single time?

Shouldn't the compiler be able to use all the new registers to great effect? It seems like usually the difference is only 1-2%.

>>55326169
64 bit is a meme

It does cost $200, in fact the price has even carried over to the UK and hasn't even been marked up.

Not liking this trend.

It's cool in concept. But even if they do an average job in exploits it'll be a mess. Imagine how fucking annoying it'd be when your thermostat gets cryptolocked

It'll be about as successful as Etherum's le Turing Complete Smart Contracts.

How am I supposed to install drivers when even my fucking ethernet doesn't work ?

Where are the winfags saying GNU/Linux doesn't have drivers support ? At least ethernet just werks

I have it and it seems alright when you look past the name.

And remember to go into the BIOS and disable the meme lighting - unless you like your motherboard to look like it's breathing or whatever gamer thing it is

I can't use mpv on my phone.

>copypasta from mpv thread into mpv.conf when setting it up
>learn pause, volume up and down shortcuts

But as a VLC shill that is too much though

>>55321062
literally sudo apt-get install mpv and run with mpv in your file browser. A keyboard is faster to change settings on the fly any how.

Anyone have any idea why I get frames dropped when I have another fullscreen application on the other screen and focus is not on mpv. It feels like mpv is getting restricted access to the gpu or something.

Sumo is kinda meh with the camel toe and garbage tier insert. Shogun if anything.

Though it's either a SARG005 or a SARX015.

What's the best way to update a package compiled from a github repo? Do I have to compile it again from scratch?

>>55316651
Yes. It's a good idea to have a .git directory somewhere at home. If you're on Arch, there are -git packages in the AUR for some selected programs.

So I have this VM (this is booting from the live DVD in the .iso file), and as you can see I made the HDD file bigger, but I need to add that new space to the partition and I just don't know how to do it. I think that both the unallocated space and the partition need to be next to each other but the swap partition is on the way and it seems that I can't just get rid of it and create another one later. How can I fix this mess?
