I made a very similar build almost 2 years ago.

I did not like the Jonsbo N4. The HDD temps were bad. The case amplified HDD noise and was a pain to build in. I used a Silverstone SFX power supply. I had two of those PSUs fail in less than a year.

After the second expensive SFX PSU failed, I decided I did not want to buy another. I changed cases to the Fractal Design Node 804 and bought an inexpensive ATX PSU. I have been much happier with my build after those changes. My HDD temps dropped by about 10 degrees Fahrenheit. The case is much quieter and I was impressed by the quality.

Minisforum gets a ton a hype. Nothing they make gets slept on.

You said it's trash because of performance. That's not the whole story, it's trash because the CIX chip causes a list of goofy issues that the engineers never solved. This includes power issues but also other things that will pop up and make things much harder than they should be. It's cheap because they're getting rid of their year-old stock that predates most of the RAM price increases.

If don't think you will be able to get it run everything you have in mind. I don't think it will be near 12W either.

A lot of the SBCs or n150 pcs have limited RAM upgradeability.

You might look at the old HPE Proliant Microservers, like gen8 - gen 10. You can get them with 16GB ram included for $300. They're low power and they use the cheaper ddr4 ram.

The $500,000 10U AI server or is there another one?

I still can’t add 3rd party software that isn’t in their App Store

That doesn't seem right... I think you can use their "Container Station" to make an LXD or Docker container with whatever you want. You may have to enable "advanced mode." https://www.qnap.com/en-us/how-to/tutorial/article/how-to-use-container-station-3

I am waiting to see how it shakes out with them. If it is still around in 2 months and they manage to push a good 3.0 version, I will switch. The original creator was responsible for most of the code. I am waiting to see if the Grimmory team can deliver.

The bot commented when the thread was young. HTTP, HTTPS and SSL were nowhere in the thread. I used ctl+F to make sure HTTP was nowhere in the thread before commenting. Later someone mentioned Git and the bot added Git. Even later, I added the announcement and link.

Even it had found links, finding a link and defining HTTPS, HTTP, and SSL is not helpful.

Bad Bot. None of these terms are in this thread.

I don't blame the greater community for this one. Booklore was well-received. I have nothing but good wishes for all those involved. Much of the fighting about code quality and AI was among actual contributors.

According to the official Discord, "ACX has made the decision to close Booklore and step away." Some contributors are working together on an unnamed replacement project.

For those not in the loop, Booklore was an app for selfhosting book libraries. It had a nice UI. It was able to store metadata separately from the download files, so you could have an organized library without duplication. In recent weeks, there have been conflicts about AI code, licensing, and general Discord nastiness.

RIP

Edit: The discord, website and github are all gone. I found a copy of the announcement:

Announcement📢 A note on where things stand

ACX has made the decision to close BookLore and step away. He has a partner, a new chapter of his life ahead of him, and honestly - building something that reached 10k stars and thousands of daily users is something to be proud of. We wish him well.

That said - this community, and this project, is bigger than any one person. That's the whole point of open source.

So here's what's happening next:

A group of the original contributors - the people who built a lot of what you've been using - are continuing the work under a new name. [PROJECT NAME TBD] is that continuation. Same mission. Better foundation. Governed the way an open source project should be: transparently, collaboratively, and with the community at the center.

We're not starting from zero. We're starting from everything this community has already built together.

If you want to be part of what comes next, come join us: 👉 https://discord.gg/FwqHeFWk

More details - name, repo, roadmap - coming very shortly. Thank you for your patience, and thank you for giving a damn about this project. That's exactly why it's worth continuing.

The whole point of the arrs is to download things in advance. Many users set up Import Lists.. There are also apps like Boxarr.

Netflix's model is to provide the cheapest, low-quality media you can bear to watch. The kind of browsing you are describing is your distressed search to find something watchable. If you populate a server with good TV or at least TV that interests you, you won't want to hop between media like that.

It's for movies and tv to "find and fetch missing or upgradable media." Huntarr was the go-to app but it had security concerns and the maker's responses were negatively received. In the last couple of weeks, some people have presented AI slop replacements for Huntarr.

Cool Russian propaganda bro.

Decades-old sanctions don't need reporting. We all know

Killing thousands of protestors is not on the same level as refusing to let them buy airplane parts.
