That’s not how hard drives work, and doesn’t take into account that OP might want to download more than one thing at a time.

Hard drives are fastest when they are moving large single files. SSDs are way better than hard drives at lots of small random reads/writes.Setting qbittorrent up so that all the random writes inherent to downloading a torrent go to a small ssd, and then moving that file over to the big hard drive with a single long writer operation is how you make both devices perform to their best.

qbittorrent moves the completed files to the assigned literally as soon as it is done.

Yeah, I use the incomplete folder location as a cache drive for my downloads as well. works quite nicely. It also keeps the incomplete ISOs out of jellyfin until they’re actually ready to watch, so, bonus.

If it’s not going faster for you there’s probably something else that’s broke.

Not access, knowledge. Giving a specifically unique device identifier every time you visit a page is different from the website guessing if you visited recently based on your screen size and cookies.

You have to set up ipv6 to change regularly to avoid that.

You have to take extra steps to ensure that the benefits of NAT aren’t lost when you switch to ipv6. Everyone knowing exactly which device you’re using because a single ipv6 IP per-device is the default.

Ipv6 is nice, but also you need to know what you’re doing to get all the benefits without any of the downsides.

I have the att bgw-320 as well. Very excited for when the hardware for the bypass comes around.

I tried using the IP passthrough setup on it, but it ended up causing all sorts of slowdowns that I had troubles diagnosing. I was using the nanopi r4s with a WiFi AP when I had this issue. Make sure to look into compatibility with ATTs IP passthrough is not total passthrough so you might have to dig into the details to make sure it all works together.

Is this a bug, or is it actually just limited to the transcode speed? I would love to read the incident/bug report about this.

That huge chunk of learning required for arch when you’ve never used Linux before is really hard to imagine when you have years of experience working Linux under your belt. That does not mean it doesn’t exist for new users though.

That shit’s complex and long. Much as I appreciate the sentiment of “the distro doesn’t matter” I really can’t agree.

I run Debian with zfs. Really simple to set up and has been rock solid for it too. As far as I can tell all the issues I’ve had have been my fault.

ZFS looks like it uses a lot of RAM, but you can get away without it if you need too. It’s basically extra caching. I was thrilled to use it as an excuse to upgrade my ram instead.

Mdadm has a little more setup then zfs, as far as I’m concerned. You need to set your own scrubbing up whereas zfs schedules it’s own for you. You need to add monitoring stuff for both though.

I’ve considered looking into the various operating systems designsd for this, but they just don’t seem to be worth the effort of switching to me.

Craft computing has been chasing this for several years now. His most recent attempt being the most successful one. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=RvpAF77G8_8

I csn’t speak to your last requirement, but nunti promises your own custom adaptive learning rss feed.

If you’re putting it in a box it is going to cook itself to death regardless of its need or lack of need for fans. If you’re putting it on a dirty floor convection is going to move the dust into it anyways.

If youre putting it in a shop, consider hardware purpose built for that.

My old ISP just let me us their device that did this and no routing when I asked for it. I didn’t have to buy a MOCA device, I just had to ask to use my own router.

This of course is not true for my new ISP, but it’s worth the effort to avoid the hassle of accidentally getting the wrong device to put between your router and the wall.

New old mascot that Rentlar inked below is ‘reinforcing’ the ‘war’ between the penguin/linux logos and the other.

It’s not really a joke, more a statement about the fox ebeing a thing now.

I have really enjoyed my vero 4k. they came out with a new version (vero v), which I haven’t used, but now has av1 support. my older model, the 4k+ version, has done everything great, with the exception of handling IR, which it did a mediocre job of managing. Linux irrecord is ass, but the vero software mitigates it by having a premade library of common remotes.

Their user forums are actually really great, their software support is also pretty good. I had help from both with setting my box up to match my TV feature set.

The vero V looks to be over budget for you, but if you end up deciding you need to spend money to get a solid product, i definitely recommend this one.

Power over Ethernet. it essentially combines the power plug with the ethernet cable. super helpful for stuff like network cameras where the nearest wall socket is 50 feet away.
