Generally intel has the best idle power consumption although amd won’t be terrible either. unless you already have an amd motherboard or cpu lying around I would recommend grabbing a 11th gen i5.
If you want to reduce your power idle power consumption undervolting won’t help you there, it will only reduce power consumption while under load. Generally the biggest killer for idle power consumption is actually your motherboard and for that reason try to find a smaller motherboard. Mini-itx is best but you’ll probably find that micro-atx is a lot cheaper while not sacrificing too much power draw.
I can’t say how useful your gtx 960 will be, I’d test it to see if it can encode/decode/transcode video fast enough for your needs and just be weary that it will likely use a fair bit of power even at idle. If it is fast enough then you can easily get away with an 8th/9th gen intel cpu you’ll find they are a lot cheaper, you could get an even older cpu as per Jellyfins hardware requirements but you’ll sacrifice some power consumption and probably not save that much money. 8th/9th gen CPU’s have pretty good power idle power consumption which is of course what should be targeted here.
How have I never heard of tape drives for backup before? They seam like the ultimate medium for archival storage. Super cheap although very slow, sounds like a good compromise to me.
Sorry for not answering your questions, I haven't used arch before. But dang that sucks I've been wanting to try arch for a little while but I didn't know they would happily push updates they know will break certain programs.
I dissagree, I don't think about death on a day to day basis. When I'm procrastinating I don't think "I'm going to die some day I should get this thing done"
Maybe it's just me but the thought of death does not give me motivation to keep living my life.
Is purely a coincidence that when I use Firefox at my school it sometimes doesn't work well, the issues are fixed when using a VPN, using my home network or switching to a chromium based browser.
I don't really understand either. Where are the Gentoo and LFS elitists? It seams like there should be more of those than arch elitests. Maybe it's just because more people use arch.
I swear meta is just built different in terms on spying on people compared to everyone else.
It's like they have a team of ex non ethical elite hackers to find security vulnerabilities in everything and exploit everything as much as possible.
Just a handy tip if you haven't already your laptop might sound like it's about to take off because it hasn't been cleaned in a while. Just search up a tutorial on YouTube for your laptop and be amazed at how much dust you will find clogging up your fan.
Also yeah that terminal thing is just arch and hyprland you really through yourself in the deep end there (I personally havnt used arch before). Linux mint on the other hand is super easy to use and the terminal is only there if you chose to use it.
