We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

Old PC vs NAS (alien.top)

Hello there. I'm thinking of getting/making a home NAS/Server/Jellyfin. I already have an old pc with a i5-6600k, GTX1060, 550w PSU just laying around and I'm trying to understand if it will be enough for it. The other options I saw was getting a Synology or making a Pi_NAS. I'm afraid that the PC will consume much more energy than the other 2 options. What do you guys think?

That's the thing.. I'd like to use it to stream with Jellyfin and make use of my 4k TV bad I've read somewhere that with a Pi and even with a NAS it's not that easy..
