    TDP goes from 51 to 65 W, not much of an increase. If you have it set to throttle down when not used, I don't think you'll see much of a change.

    Doubling the number of cores is a big performance boost. I would certainly upgrade if you're considering 4K video, especially if you're transcoding.

    I'd also read the Jellyfin article about hardware acceleration: https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/administration/hardware-acceleration/

  • The only thing I can think of is to do a restore of all the backups in sequence, assuming they're all of the same thing. That would give you one consolidated image. Then you could run some deduplication and take a new single backup, if desired.

    But really it's so subjective that I don't think there's really any way to automate it. I would mount all the backups, go through everything, pick out what you want to keep, and delete the rest.

    Look at it this way. If you've had the backup for years, and never needed to restore any of those files, how likely are you ever need them in the future? Even if you did delete something you later wanted, how life-threatening would it be to not have it?

    Or you could take the easy way out and just add more storage.

  • If some parents denied their kids access to social media, the only effect would be to isolate them from their peers. That's just how it works these days. Social media by itself is perfectly fine, the issue is how the companies running the networks are manipulative.

  • If your goal is network security, you'd probably be best off deploying something like Security Onion.

    After the basics like having a firewall, making sure you have the strongest wireless encryption your devices support (WPA3 probably, WPA2 if 3 isn't supported), stuff like that.

  • I asked if anyone would be willing to help myself and possibly others to get some services running, and I asked to do it in a videoconference setting where we can have a discussion and where you can see what I’m doing as I’m doing it, out of respect for both of our time.

    Sure, I can do that. My rates start at $90/hr, 4hr minimum.

  • I both read it and looked up a picture of the part as used in the T320 and T420. My points were in my first comment.

    I don't understand why people ask for advice, and when someone gives their thoughts and experience, they get combative.

  • It's a piece of plastic that guides air. Shroud, baffle, duct, whatever you want to call it. I've run plenty of servers without them just fine. The fans push enough air on their own. You really only need it if you're running hot due to a lot of drives, cards, or sustained CPU or RAM usage.

    And honestly, I'm not sure that this one would be doing very much anyway, considering the other CPU and RAM won't have one.

  • A quick Google shows they look similar. You could probably see if the part number is applicable to the other model as well.

    Personally, I'd be more concerned about stuff like PSU connections. It should still run fine without the fan shroud.
