Hey everyone, I'm building a new server to run Jellyfin (with a few other services like Pi-hole) and I'm stuck on GPU or CPU transcoding.

My main concern is smooth 4K HDR transcoding for 1 stream. I've been reading mixed advice online – some people say a strong CPU with good single-core performance can handle it, while others recommend a dedicated GPU.

Should I focus my budget (~$1000AUD/$658USD) on a good CPU, or spend some of it on a dedicated GPU?

So, I've been using FitNotes for a while as it's the only app that I found that doesn't have a nightmare privacy policy. However, the app is rarely updated and there are things I wish it had that I would love to add if it was FOSS. Wondering if there is anything foss alternatives?

Is there any self-hosted application that can monitor your watch history and provide movie/TV show recommendations?

Hello everyone, I've been working on setting up a torrent/media server on an old PC. Everything works near perfectly. However, I'm encountering an issue where qBittorrent gets stuck at 0% progress and just says 'Downloading Metadata'.

I've tried various solutions, including disabling the VPN, and even attempting to download it on my Windows 11 PC (both with and without a VPN). I've tried disabling my Windows 11 firewall and even tried Deluge. Unfortunately, none of these solutions have resolved the problem. I'm struggling to pinpoint the root cause. Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I've tried a few different torrents that Prowlarr has fetched, but the one I've been trying without a VPN is the one from ipleak.net.

EDIT:

Was able to figure out a solution. Not sure why but switching from Wireguard to OpenVPN seems to have fixed the issue..

Hey there, I'm a newbie when it comes to self-hosting and working with Docker. I'm looking to route traffic from a couple of my Docker containers (specifically, qBittorrent and Prowlarr) through a Wireguard container that's hooked up to Mullvad. Any tips on how to set this up?

Here is my compose file:

I have an upcoming interview and I'm curious if anyone has experimented with utilizing Nvidia's eye contact feature during interviews. What was your experience like?

Hey everyone, I recently learned about Aurora Store, a platform that allows you download Play Store apps even if you don't have Google services, like on Graphene OS. I'm curious if there's any benefit to using it on my non-rooted device. Any thoughts?

That is not 2 separate buttons on the right, like I initially thought clicking through checkout.

Seeking feedback on my PC build aimed at achieving 144fps on high settings using DLSS. Alternatively, targeting 72fps with maximum settings, DLSS, and ray tracing for story-driven games. Please provide any suggestions or recommendations. Budget is around $2000AUD
