Yeah mine is a Broadwell i7, 3.1ghz with boost up to 3.4ghz, model number 5557U. The guy I bought it from maxed out the specs at launch and I bought pretty cheap a few years ago. For a ten year old device it runs like a dream and handles pretty much anything short of gaming and video editing with ease

Thank you, I’ll look into VPS, that’s new territory for me.

Re transcoding on Jellyfin. Yes that’s something I have considered. A lot of my media is x265 10-bit 1080p stuff, decent quality but not huge lossless blu-ray rips. I stick to encodes that are about 4-8gb a movie. Clients connecting to the server are a couple of laptops and two smart tvs using the native Jellyfin apps. So far I’ve only run into issue with things like AV1 files or very large 4k rips that won’t play on smart tv, mkvs play fine.

Could I get Xbox old blood if still avail? Thank you so much. No worries if gone

Does using rdx benefit Reddit at all? I don’t have a Reddit account anymore but I sometimes check it with rdx but I think im ready to cut ties altogether.
