None of your listed use cases will even come close to taxing the 6600k. It’s going to probably sit happily in idle states most of the time.

Proxmox also has great snapshotting and backup features. Makes it easier to mess around with your containers/VMs without worrying too much.

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.

For those of us that are out of the loop.

It’s high school level drama. Competent adults will work it out.

Unfortunately, this is going to be a bit of a journey. You’ll probably end up going through a few of these options until you find one that works for you and fits your workflow.

Yup.

After having tried what seems like every available desktop rss frontend, I just settled on the freshrss mapco theme with the landscape thumbnail and dark mode via dark reader instead of the built in option.

For the article loading issues, I’d recommend full-text-rss.

Troubleshooting can be difficult. I’ll only say you’ll save yourself alot of time and energy by establishing a baseline for power usage with just the essential components necessary for boot to see what you’re working with. Then you can make better informed decisions.

Monitor CPU usage and frequencies to ensure CPU is throttling down properly. Then start unplugging hard drives, ram, nic cable to see how they affect power usage. Servethehome shows an N305 idling around 10w in a minipc without HDDs.
