Let's say Signal goes full maga. The chats are encrypted and there are no subscriptions or ads. What are the downsides?

Most people go with either FreshRSS or Miniflux but there's lots of options to choose from.

Any low power device is going to struggle with video playback unless you're doing direct streaming. The exception being the new Intel N line of processors that have capable enough GPUs to do the transcoding. If all you're after is decent transcoding performance for H264/H265 video, anything newer than Intel's 7-8th gen CPUs will do the job. $100-$200 used optiplexes and thinkcentres can easily handle this type of workload.

Can you be more specific about your performance objectives? The Pi5 can handle jellyfin and nextcloud relatively well, so if you're having issues with them, identifying the bottlenecks can help narrow down the hardware recommendations.

I think all polls are bs but even if they're not, Carney has to feel like the luckiest guy alive right now. Liberals were dead in the water a few weeks ago.

Not emby related but for audiobooks, it doesn't get better than audiobookshelf.
