I just bought this. What should I do with it?

I use mine as a seedbox and Plex server. Can stream 4k just fine (using directplay if you have a compatible device, like a samsung tv or a shield).

>seedbox
pervert.

If you bought something and don't know what to do with it, no one here owed you a response. Get lost.

install lanraragi or hpx and have your own hentai server that will incriminate you when you get v&

Transmission daemon, Plex server with media dir set as the download folder for transmission, enjoy being able to download media from anywhere in the world and view it as soon as it downloads.

Example: I was at a friend's house, they wanted to see a certain movie that wasn't on any streaming services. I pulled out my phone, went to my private tracker of choice, downloaded the torrent, opened my transmission client on my phone, added the torrent to my server, 5 mins later it was finished downloading. I opened the Plex app on my phone, connected to my server, and casted the movie from my phone to their TV. Worked perfectly. Plex also supports music and pictures, so you don't have to store any of that on your phone. That machine could very easily become your own private cloud with minimal effort. I'm doing all of that on an A8 ideapad with 8GB RAM and 2x2TB HDDs.

put a kensington lock on it

saturate your gigabit internet by seeding torrents

jesus fucking crhist this place never changes. within the first five responses there will always be a shove it up the ass comment followed not long after by why did you buy something you dont know what to do with comment

Zbox AD12 owner here, makes a great media server.

My sysadmin GF uses hers as primary DNS, DHCP, media and file server - all those USB3 ports begging for external hard disks, plus HDMI port = WinRAR.

I use my old ass Brix as a media player and indie games box. Would be nice to replace it with one of those Mini-STX boxes for something upgradable though.

Replaced the big clunky desktop for my parents with one. As an excuse to get one but they liked it and it ran faster so it's all good.

Blow it out your ass commie

I have one. I use it as a media player mainly, but it's also an FTP server, VPN server and a shitposting station.

Sent from my NUC6CAYH.

I'm trying to figure out a Plex setup without having to leave my main PC on all the time. But I'm cheap and want to get something that I can turn on, and just leave running 24/7. Should I go with a mini PC or could I even get something like a PC stick and get an external HDD enclosure and plug it in?

Why would you buy something you don't need?

try going back

Just passing through this thread but that's a great idea

>seedbox
I hope you clean it regularly.

how about you shove it up your ass now

Well, the NUC works with DirectPlay, meaning no transcoding, if you are ok with that, then that PC stick may just work. Thing is, if it's not AC wireless you'll cap out rather easily when streamng high bitrate content. With the nuc you can make sure it's a gigabit line coming out of it, then do whatever you have to do to make sure the receiving end is fast as possible.

Pour milk into a bowl, then put it into the bowl, then eat it.

And then there's That Guy who sniffs his own farts acting like he's superior to everyone in the thread.

>pouring milk first
Absolutely atrocious.

Put one sock on, then put your shoe on, then put the other sock on, then the other shoe.

Take a dump immediately after having a shower.

good tits.

FUCK YOU BALTIMORE

Im using one for HTPC. An i3 7100U version. Nice to have 4K HDR hardware decode.

>talks about seed and streams of seed
Does your mom know you post here?

I'm using a shitty orange PI as file/DNS/web server. Obviously, with 100M Ethernet and USB2.0 it's slow as fuck, I was thinking replacing it with a NUC or similar.
Would the Celeron ones fit my purpose?

Dude, you aren't actually suppose to use a PI for anything. You're suppose to buy one and them throw it in the trash when you realize it serves no purpose.

The new 8th gen i3 is a beast, quad core that idles at 4watts, turbos upto 28 watts i think.

Chews 4k video with ease and actually runs some games on the iris pro integrated.

Also RRP is like 300-350 dollars. Rumours are it supports 64gb of ddr4 too once 32gb so dimms become widespread.

Yeah iris Plus Graphics 655 on even the lowly 3ghz quad i3 28 watt 8th gen nuc.

Same as the 2018 macbook pro 13, the i5 builds are probably great for hackintosh setups.

Make it an Ubuntu server and host a porn site.

Do it faggot.

Just get a used small form factor/ultra-small form factor PC, it will cost less than a NUC yet it will be better suited to be a file server.

It's incredible how somehow people think that a Raspberry Pi is useless. It's a bit of technology that would have been considered to be near magic 30 years ago and it's absurdly cheap. It's only useless if you're an NPC with no imagination.

This is the exact same kinda thing I've been wanting to build with Plex and my own media collection for awhile now, but I hadn't worked out the details yet. Thanks for the info, user.

wait, is it bad to leave a computer on all the time? mine only turns off when the power goes out or if I'm using photoshop at the same time as reaper because that causes bluescreen.

depends, server grade components are meant to run 24/7, but most consumer parts aren't particularly.

As long as your WAN speed doesn't exceed 500MBit full duplex one port is fine if you set it up as a router on a stick. Of course inter VLAN routing could still form a bottleneck at that point if you're using multiple VLANs though.

This guy is wrong You can leave your computer on for as long as you want. You'll save power if you shut it down or let it sleep though.
