  • Alright yeah I see what you mean. The i7-6700K was just a leftover cpu I had from a prvious computer build, and it has worked wonders uptil now as it has Quick Sync. But yeah, I was kinda hoping there would be an “easy” solution for connecting a MINI PC to some type of enclosed case for the HDDs with a SATA connection between the two. I’ll probably end up with a different use case for the minipc in the end. Thanks for your input!


  • Right, so sorry if I was a bit unclear about this. The rack is just something i’d like in the forseeable future. I like the idea of having a small homelab.

    My usecase is media streaming. Unraid because its more simple and I want to support the good work they do there.

    Am not planning on using the big machine in the future, this is just what I was able to scramble up as a student from second hand shops and friends.

    I assume you mean the AMD CPU when you mention that its an odd choice? Well, im getting it for free, so thats why :)



  • If you’re in the position to take certificates then that’s a another way of learning a lot. At least it has worked for me. I’ve over the last half year taken RHCSA and RHCE from RedHat - though paid by work. Theses in specific are expensive, but I’m sure there are other ones that are cheaper. This would also allow you to ‘show off’ your skills in an official way should you need to, for applying for certain jobs etc…

    I at least find this way to be helpful as you have to motivate yourself to learn and pass an exam to get the certificate. It might not be for everyone though.











  • Do as you wish, pay for what you want to pay for - its your money.

    That being said; these services will have to comply with French law. Real-Debrid probably didn’t have much choice to do what they did as they were hit with a formal notice from the French Federation of Film Distributors (FNEF). The french have been for a long while now been trying very hard to remove as many of these services as possible. First it was Hadopi agency, now merged with the Higher Audiovisual Council to form the more powerful regulator Arcom. Here’s a SS from this article about their anti-piracy efforts in 2022.

    Similar services that are hosted in France will have to comply the second they get a notice from Arcom. France is obviously way more committed to removing piracy I’d say its a good call to not pay into french services… Personally, I wont be paying for services hosted in France as I believe its only a matter of time before more are struck down.
