A raspberry pi isn’t and has never been a good choice for a server.
For an appliance like a pi hole, home assistant, or media center playing files from a real Nas it’s fine.

I got one of these calls last week. I told them for $10m they could have it. We haggle for a bit but they weren’t willing to even meet me half way.
How does it feel, to ruin a life?
I honestly can’t tell if you are pro or anti time zones from this comment.
I’ve done the tape thing before. It was a little bit of a pain but not that hard.
That’s why you run a couple rounds of preclear to stress them and then run a fresh smart report.
This is the correct answer.
It’s like destroying a barracks full of elite soldiers and then going, “Don’t worry. We have plenty more barracks.”
I wouldn’t be so sure if that. It’s possible, yeah, but if my theory is right they see the library sharing as the carrot to get normies to download the plex app onto their roku or apple TV.
Pivoting to a streaming only app would close off that avenue for user acquisition permanently.
I was trying to think how Plex thinks this is going to play out, knowing that this move will piss off their customer base. Then I realized, this isn’t a play for Plex’s existing customer base. This is a play for their customer’s “friends and family” that are enjoying shared libraries already.
Their ‘customer’ base has for many many years been developing a large user base of technologically naive people with Plex apps installed who could never run their own server. If Plex knows, for example, that for every paying customer there’s three other users pulling from someone’s library, that’s a huge opportunity for them to convert those users to paying customers.
Everyone that set up a Plex server and then shared it with your tech-phobic parents, cousins, friends, etc… We made this possible.
I don’t like it but I can’t argue with the logic from Plex here.
-edit- Tightened up the grammar.
I didn’t ignore anything. You edited your reply to make it look like I did.
I replied at 7:31GMT. You replied to that at 7:34GMT. You edited your original post at 7:44GMT for some reason.
This isn’t reddit where you can’t see when or if someone edited their comment.
This is just goal moving at this point. And stating just plain incorrect facts. I’m out.
The pi 4 is literally $35 right now. The original pi, adjusted for inflation, was $47.
Of course the pi 4 is still part of the product range. It’s still being actively manufactured and sold. Same for the pi3.
As far as memory size, that wasn’t part of your original complaint. You want a $35 computer, that’s how much you get. The original pi was $35 and had 256mb of ram.
-edit also, $35 in 2012 is $47 today with inflation. The pi 4 is a crazy good deal and readily available. This complaint just has no merit.
The cheapest rpi that isn’t a zero or pico started at $35. You can buy a Pi 4 Model B 1GB for $35 on pishop.us right now.
The pi 5 won’t ever be $35 because that’s not the price point it was designed to hit. That’s why they have a range of products, so you can buy the one that fits your budget.
Yeah, if Madisons allegations are true, and I believe they are, then some heads are going to roll. Heads that Linus may have been reticent to see go but Terren is not. Terren doesn’t give a shit about Colton, or nick, or any of the others. The only one of the old crew that are probably safe is Luke, and only because he wasn’t there. We may be seeing a major shift in personnel in the next few weeks, with many people quietly resigning to “explore other ventures”.
They won’t make a video about sexual harassment allegations. As soon as actual crimes are alleged, yiu cannot go out on a video and say anything that will help you.
Maybe after the investigation and after a big ass settlement with the victim but even then you’d open yourself up to being sued for defamation if you name any names or even skirt around it.
I like GN in theory but they are boring as fuck. Even some of the B tier presenters on LTT like Plouffe are more interesting to watch/listen to than Steve.
It’s not just that. If the Pi Foundation has to make a choice between fulfilling an order for 100 pis for a company so that the company can keep making products and meeting payroll vs. 100 hobbyists that want to make their own one-off project, which is the more moral use of resources?
Yeah, those companies should probably not have chosen a pi board to power their products but that’s only noticeable in hindsight.
You spent four paragraphs describing your unusual and unique set up and then asserted that your setup isn’t actual either of those things. I think you just don’t realize how out of the norm your requirements are.
No, you use it as a media server. A media center can also be a media server but often is not.
If your pi is just reading files from the network, it’s fine. If it’s serving files, you’re gonna have a bad time.
Use the right tool for the job.
