Except the hardware itself is really old which means that the performance will be much lower and thus the CPU usage will be higher. The older systems also have much slower memory and bus speeds.

You would be much better buying a more modern consumer CPU since the performance boost will mean that the CPU utilization will be lower. Most workloads including Jellyfin do not benefit from tons of slow CPU cores. Things will work better the higher CPU and ram frequently you have.

Server CPUs are a poor choice outside of very specific applications

All major distros have been patched as of writing this (you are welcome to correct me if I’m wrong)

I would pickup a old workstation of of a site like eBay. Last time I was shopping around they were pretty cheap but that was pretty insanity pricing

Why tho?

For $250 you can build a pretty solid system with lots of storage

Consume very few energy

Don’t go with ancient hardware if you are wanting energy efficiency

You could just install security updates

Interesting enough systems running SELinux seem to be potentially protected against this assuming SELinux is configured to block AF_ALG

On Android AF_ALG is locked down with SElinux so it shouldn’t be impacted

A local compromise happens more than you think

Unattended-upgrades has a config option to auto reboot

Combustion engines are way better

Only now are we even seeing electric cars that can complete.

I don’t think you can just magically make a battery that goes that long without serious engineering work

Honesty it seems like a decent car

I’m honesty surprised they managed to get 80 miles of range. That’s pretty much what you get with a older Nissan leaf

He’s living the life

Chances are he makes a salary that puts him on the sophisticated idiot category

Sshfs has way more overhead and doesn’t do remotely the same thing

I don’t see the issue
