    This reminds me, I really need to start ripping my DVD collection & getting a jellyfin server setup.

      Minor suggestion: Do it in winter. Transcoding video like that is a CPU intensive workload, if you’re going to pump that much heat out of your PC case you might as well want it.

        That’s an excellent point. It’s amazing how fast it’ll heat up a room!

        I just learned there’s a company that takes advantage of this by using render farm nodes to provide hot water or something?

        Genius idea. Render farm as space heater. Don’t see why compiling / transcoding would be any different. 😂

        I’m definitely gonna have to wait until next winter. It’s foolishness to be running the GPU that hard when it’s 100⁰F+ outside!
