I suggest that this community should consider bringing in the “Daily Simple Questions” threads. They were fun to participate and build community. Perhaps make the threads weekly, instead of daily as the community continues to grow with Redfugees.
Don’t worry about the reputation / !check system, though. Upvotes for good advice is sufficient, IMO.
Yeah you’d likely want a stronger CPU. As an aside, check out Jellyfish as an alternative to Plex, I prefer it.
As for the NTFS issue, I’d likely suggest just going ext4 as the FS on your server. You can mount it in Windows using a roundabout method through WSL2, should you ever need to.
I’ll probably run both Jellyfin and Plex since a of my friends and family are already on Plex.
I’ll eventually move to a proper RAID setup - probably RAID5 - so I’ll just do a full rebuild with drives included.
