Gotta find something to sell to stay afloat. Why not user data? /s

Tesco in the uk does this.

Coincidentally enough this post a few down from yours (on my feed) shows a trial for the second part of your post

Mauled, eaten or crushed to death

… or cuteness overload

Honestly depends on whats being served. As i say people can run servers on enterprise grade multi thousand £ systems or a £50 pi or mini pc.

Since you have a specific usage in mind, media server, you basically want hardware that will allow optimised performance so you can have a lag/ buffer free experience.

Say,

hardware thats good for on the fly encoding/ decoding

Lots of ram for multitasking.

Lots of storage to store the media.

Maybe gigabit network cards for multiuser streaming without bandwidth bottlenecks.

It really depends on the experience and chokepoints

ECC ram ill let someone more familiar answer but im leaning towards non critical and nice to have

Nothing you couldnt upgrade on your typical PC. Just makes life easier…at a cost.

Server serves a specific application(s). PC is general day to day usage.

Both are computers. Pc hardware can be used as a server. Server hardware can be used as a pc.

Using a computer for day to day tasks - call it a pc. Use it to run a web server application or host a game - that one or more users will access - call it a server

Hardware can be configured to optimise it for its function. E.g pc can have latest GPUs and “servers” can have multicore cpus and loads of ram, rack mounting form factor and dual power supplies for redundancy.

But it could also be weak - i have raspberry pi’s and old laptops set up as a servers

Good on you and props to your parents :)

I just wanted to chime in that “nazi” isn’t technically a swear.

Sure, calling someone one when they aren’t (some willingly people wear the name with pride) can be hurtful, but in the context you’ve used it I’d say it’s OK.

Just my opinion though

I’m in the same boat… have made a model of my house in SH3D and sketchup in the past. Have since tried doing it in freecad but it really is a struggle but im persevering. Hopefully one day it’ll just “click” but its a major time sink atm so im putting it off

Check out PrivacyGuides. They have recommendations for DNS including what others have commented

FreeCAD has a BIM workbench but a fair warning - the learning curve is pretty steep, especially compared to the likes of SH3D and Sketchup

GPL licence under the licences page on their website. Code is on sourceforge i think

I didn’t say anything about who I bank with or that I use banks that uses these practises. Calm down

Tell banks that still use it as MFA that

Mid way through installing underfloor insulation. Managed to do some rewiring, adding extra sockets, replace steel water pipes and apply woodworm treatment in the process. Sadly I’m sapped of time and energy so its all slow going

Yeah that’s a fair point but its a full website with only one page for streaming in this case

Seems this is the way to go amongst all the replies. Didn’t realise i could reverse proxy a camera stream! Thank you

Reverse proxy the stream and reference itself in the reverse proxied website? Is there no way to do it internally in nginx?

Hadn’t heard of it before. Thank you!
