A mini PC is the way to go if you want to self host a media server such as Jellyfin. You have to do a little research, but you can find mini PCs with Intel chips that have Quick Sync for transcoding for around $100 on Amazon.

You rockin' Hannah Montana Linux?

I consider lemm.ee my home, and you guys my internet family. @sunaurus on a somewhat personal note, I saw you mention in one of your updates a week or two ago you were getting let go from your job, which coincided with some much needed home repairs. If you haven't landed a new job yet, I'd like to throw some cash your way for personal expenses, and I'm sure others would too. I don't want you working on keeping the instance running smoothly from the coffee shop down the road because your power or internet got turned off. If you're in a rough spot, I kind of like the idea of doing a fund raiser on, let's say 8/18 - 8/19 (UTC) where all one time Github and Ko-Fi contributions get aside for you and your family.

Sorry about your MIL, genuinely kind people are few and far between in this world.

I switched to lemm.ee, it's much more stable since it's not constantly being attacked by script kiddies. I have a theory a user got banned, and is making it their personal mission to ruin .world's performance. Please donate to your home instance owner(s) if they have that set up. Even if it's just a little, it can make everyone's experience better.
