I’m looking to replace a 2013 Mac Mini running Proxmox. Just curious if anyone has one of these or anyone heard of any negatives about them? Watched a bunch of videos and outside of a lack of 10G Ethernet, it seems to be well received!

    Well it’s an APU, so it’s running pretty much everything. Running any normal network services pretty much means it’s in use.

    In the context of having a normal light bulb back in the day on 24/7, it’s still more efficient, but there are other options out there than use much less power is all I was saying. If you’re heavily transcoding, I don’t think it matters at all.

      Right, but you’re pulling way more power than the homeserver I’m running is, and at 10-15w it’s doing frigate + openvino based (on the igpu) identification on 4 cameras, usually 2 jellyfin streams at any given time, 4 VMs, home assistant, and ~80 other containers plus a couple of on-host services for NAS duties (smb, nfs, ftp, afp, nginx, etc.)

      I was just surprised that a Ryzen U-series chip would be worse re. power usage.
