I do have a 4k tv, and a 1080p one. But personally I don't see big difference on 720p vs 1080p vs 4k. I have to be like 4 feet from the tv to notice it. 720p is sufficient.
There are lots of infographics explaining it, search by image guys!
Went looking for the video and found it https://youtu.be/gAGiOWyQVw0?feature=shared
I have a similar setup. I have an old laptop with an SSD that puts files on my NAS.
The laptop has arr setup on containers, the laptop itself is running debian, mounts from Samba NAS via fstab (be sure to have writing permissions) has been working that way for several years.
Only direct plays, no transcoding (core 2 procesor)
Two factors, quality and heat. If you buy bad quality they will last a short time. If the fixture is not designed to dissipate heat it will last less time. I found out the last one for a couple of mine. The ceiling lights with a shade kinda of a bowl like. The LEDs ones lasted less than a year. Then one of them I didn't find the nut for it and put some other one that didn't fit quite well but let the air flow and that one outlasted the other ones. Yes heat will kill your LEDs.
There's a quote I read once. "the best camera is the one at hand"
Foundation by Isaac Asimov for the sixth time. After watching the series. It's science fiction. One of my favorite books. The concept of psycohistory is so interesting, civilization following certain paths.
Haven't tried it, since I only sync with my PC and cloud server. But I just checked up and Librera has an option to save progress and profiles to a custom directory, so I guess that would be the way.
These are the ones I actively use with syncthing
- Markor - for quick note taking and todo's
- Librera reader - ebook reader
- Seeneva - smart comic reader
- Voice - Audiobook player
- Simple music player
- KeeepassDx - also
Also most routers with an USB can also handle a printer
I also did this, I feel it's better this way. Also the modem restricted me in so many ways. Now my cheap router gives me far more freedom and control. Forwarding ports, no problem. DNS change, no problem. Other SSID, no problem. A separate isolated SSID for visits, absolutely. And if a I change ISP I only have to connect the new modem and no need to change any of my devices.
Yes it's better to have the services in containers or VM's.
Beware of hosting nextcloud for family and friends, if something goes wrong you would be responsible for any lost data.
But if you want todo so, I opened the port for it and created a DDNS pointing to my IP. I used duckdns.org. it's easy, has instructions on how to use it.
