Beelink EQi12 Mini PC Intel i5 12450H
Yup. It's a N100 (4 core, 4 threads). It currently lives under the stairs in my basement (with UPS, ISP box, NAS, a switch, and another BeeLink that is my 'server' ... image of the area here). I need to build a little platform for them in case of a flood or something though. How long have you had it

Beginner here - Synology sounds like an amazing ecosystem, but it also feels like a lot of people are jumping ship. Could someone offer insight?
I'm running two beelink PCs because my experience with the first was so good. First was an SEi12 and it's my workhorse server. It does everything on my network that is media related and some side stuff (web apps and simple things). It's Debian Linux with everything running in docker (I think 25 apps

Do you shut down your Mini PC every night, or put it to sleep? hibernate?
I've been running two beelink mini PCs 24 hours a day for 1 and 2 years straight, one is running NVR software (sei12, 1 year) the other is plugged into my TV (s12 pro, 2 years) The sei12 is also in a non air-conditioned space that varies seasonally from around -5c to +45c No issues.

Beelink SER5 a good buy?
I ran into this issue with a Beelink SER5 (Ryzen 7 6800U) where the system would hang or hard shut down whenever it was left idle for about 10–20 minutes. What made it confusing was that it was completely stable under load. I could game for an hour or watch a movie with no issues, but if I walked aw

Buying mini pc for proxmox.
The Beelink SEi12 has solid specs for Proxmox and your use case. If it supports two SSDs, RAID 1 is a good option for redundancy. Otherwise, just add a second drive for backups. also confirm two M.2 slots & enable virtualization in BIOS. The thing to consider is that ZFS needs more RAM
