The good news is: You don't need a big huge AI rig to run object detection. There is a good section on hardware in the documentation: https://docs.frigate.video/frigate/hardware#server The exact models are everchanging, so it's perpetually outdated, but the general direction stays the same. Beelink

honestly those are all pretty light workloads, you dont need much. a beelink ser5 or eq12 would be plenty - they go for like $150-250 on amazon and have decent cpus. or if you want even cheaper, grab a used lenovo thinkcentre tiny or dell optiplex micro off ebay for like $80-100. either way 16gb ram

I use a beelink eq12 with a n100 CPU as a homelab running a whole stack of stuff with no issues. I run Paper MC minecraft server with Geyser and Spigot mods. It runs great with three players. Watching the resources it should handle quite a few more players no problem This ain't even the only thing o

This is why LLMs/AI hallucinate absolute trash for PC research as it scrapes the most worthless and outdated information. For example the Geekom IT14 and Beelink SEi12 are no longer on the official websites (and haven't been for some time) while failing to indicate which EQi12 configuration. It also

Obviously it depends on what you are planning to do with it. If it’s all very basic and you need to learn still, I would personally go with an intel i3-1220p or i5-1235U and 16-32GB of RAM with an SSD of around 500-1TB. That gives you enough headroom to grow and it would last 5 years easily. These c

For what you get now with the RAMpocalypse the Atom Celeron N150 mini PCs from a reputable brand aren't making much sense. As an example after a few weeks of use a friend of mine returned there MINI S13 for a Beelink EQi12 Core i3-1220P. The EQi12 brought dual channel memory, dual NIC and dual 2280

i ran into this exact choice last year. for most homelab stuff nfs is totally fine - just keep it simple. the single point of failure risk matters less than you think unless you're running critical production. glusterfs or ceph add complexity. if you want to keep power low, those n100 mini pcs work

beelink s12 / eq12 is the sweet spot for that stack. n100 transcodes 1080p without breaking a sweat and handles 4k hevc-to-h264 via qsv. go 16gb ram minimum — immich's ml container alone wants 4gb when it's generating clip embeddings, and nextcloud preview generation can spike pretty hard if you've

Crazy for sure, one example of mine is the Beelink EQi12 I bought 11/11/2024 for AUD $471 with 24GB LDDR5 Ram is now AUD $651 with 16Gb DDR4 Ram. CPU is Intel Core i3-1220P. One of the M.2 PCIE SSD I added to it for AUD $189 now costs AUD $499! It doesn't matter about the currency, look at the perce

I started with USB coral on Beelink EQ12 (N100) then with an HP Elite Desk 800 G3? (i5-8500), then a dual coral on pcie, and a month or two ago an Intel Ultra 5-125h ($500 mini pc PELADN Mini PC,Core Ultra 5 125H Mini Desktop Computer, 32GB Dual DDR5/512GB M.2 PCIe 4.0 SSD). I have 9 cameras. I was
