Is Windows 11 really that bad for running Plex with the arr suite and Docker?

Windows will work perfectly fine on the Beelink. In fact, I ran Win11 on my Dad's Beelink S12 Pro for a couple of years. I also ran PMS on Windows for awhile as well. The problem is (for me) the random updates that FORCE reboots and, since I refuse to create a Microsoft account, the "create your Mic

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

Homer server using the 8700g

A cheap N100 mini pc like a BeeLink S12 is enough to do that.. $140 a year or so ago when I was buying them. Double that now but still 1/3rd what your budget is. 40 years IT experience mostly in Unix, Linux, hardware, administration, networking and security. I have a basement server room (my NOC) wi

Is a Mini PC the best choice for a home media centre?

You’ve moved “off-grid in the middle of nowhere,” yet somehow the largest drain on your power system is a machine idling between episodes of Brooklyn Nine-Nine because silence makes you confront your own thoughts for twelve seconds. The good news: yes, the Xbox is absurd overkill for this. You are c

Streaming libero oer Film, Serie, ecc..?

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.
