Minimum requirements for 4k transcoding?

4 core is fine yes. Something like this is a popular solution due to power draw and ability to transcode: https://www.bee-link.com/products/beelink-mini-s12-pro-n100 I use a Terramaster USB C DAS. No need to buy a GPU, Quick Sync can handle the transcoding. I have mine set up to use RAM disk, so fil

VBAT is a liar.

I got it for free, can't beat that. Depends how much lower you can go with power consumption, I have a little Beelink N100 (S12 Pro) that pulls 6-10W idling, cost me £166.83 2.5 years ago. 10W 24/7/365 at £0.27 per unit (expensive electricity in the UK) costs me £23.65 per year, so I'll break even w

New to TeslaMate

I’m no expert, but I recommend an N100 or N150-based device, such as the Beelink S12 Pro. It has enough power to let you expand to other things, like running Home Assistant and whatever else you want. If ALL you want is teslamate and you’re confident you won’t expand, then a Pi3 would probably be su

Dedicated low power consumption rig for Frigate

I don't have any experience with the hailo chips, but I built a dedicated Frigate box with an N100 mini PC. I used a Beelink S12 pro w/16GB RAM and added a 4TB 2.5" SATA 870 EVO SSD. I think the newer ones are dual m.2 and don't do 2.5" SATA anymore, but I could be wrong there. It works very well fo

Io ho preso un beelink s12 pro, ho installato anydesk, jellyfin, qbittorrent con interfaccia web. Jellyfin è facile da configurare, diventa difficile se hai diverse esigenze. Ad esempio ho il PC con schermo ultrawide HDR, una TV OLED 4k HDR, una Samsung fhd sdr. Gestire tutto correttamente ha richie

Is a Lenovo M910q a good start?

i ran into the same decision last year. the m910q is fine but the i5-6500t is getting old for 2026. for that price you can sometimes find a Beelink Mini S12 Pro with n100 - much newer and better power efficiency. other solid picks are HP EliteDesk 800 G4 or Dell Optiplex 3060 with 8th gen intel. tho

Beginner Homelab suggestions

I recently ventured into this with a Beelink S12 Pro (N100 + 16GB RAM) and it's been really good. The N100 + Quick Sync is amazing for Jellyfin, it barely touches the CPU running several direct streams at once, transcodes really fast too if needed. Then I have Navidrome, Deluge, Syncthing, and Tails
