Yeah I was always a boost user on reddit but there are too many bugs on the Lemmy version so I switched to Sync and have been very happy.

The UK doesn't have great solar energy potential because of the high latitude and general lack of sun. Wind is much more practical in this country however like solar it provides it's a non-stable energy source. To have a stable energy grid you ideally want a mix of stable and non-stable sources or non-stable sources and large battery storage facilities.

It's nice to see more midrange android tablets being released. Speaking for myself I've been looking for a 1080p mid range android tablet and the options were very limited for many years. Most options had either 720p screens or CPU's so slow that the tablets were frustrating to use.

0.8% down but still 5.9% to go

Hey, I'm a current trackt user and I'm curious what you don't like about trackt?

For some reason the link posted by Ghostalmedia worked for me but the link posted by the bot didn't. Can anyone explain why? Is it just because I'm on the lemmy.world instance?

I'm using eBay and honestly can see quite a few listings at that price (2nd hand ofc)

The i5-7500 is only £30 so almost 1/3 of the price of the 7700 which is great. Would 4 threads be enough for my application? Also what stat/website do you use to look at idle power?

[-] JackOfNoTrades@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah honestly either would probably have plenty of power for my use case. The last column shows approximate 2nd hand prices in the UK. The 7700 is around £85 and the 7700k is around £120 although with some searching I'm sure I could find both cheaper. Thanks for the info

Yeah I've got quite a lot of content with h265 so that's definitely worth knowing thanks!

Hi everyone I'm new to all this so bear with me if I make mistakes. I'm currently running an Unraid server primarily running radarrr/sonarr/Plex etc usually the most it ever has to handle is 4 Plex streams and maybe some 'downloads' at the same time. Also will occasionally be used for transcoding using handbrake.

Currently I'm running an Intel i3-6100 which is a 2 core 4 thread cpu with a TDP of 51W. I live in the UK where electricity is exorbitant so I'm looking to upgrade to something more powerful while ideally not breaking the bank on electricity. Above I've listed the 4 main CPUs I've been considering and some of the relevant stats. Any advice/resources you can point me to are really needed. Thanks
