  • You realize I’m not the same person, right? So maybe change the attitude a bit.

    120Hz wasn’t in your original question. For that you’d need to be in direct view LED territory, which is going to be in the $150k+ range, like an FE012I3 (at least with Sharp/NEC).

    Sony has a line of Bravia post production OLEDs, the FWD-##A95Ls ( the number is the sizing) which is going to be a phenomenal production quality display. $7k-$10k.

    LG and Samsung are all WebOS and Tizen respectively, but the versions are different than the consumer version. So its “smart”, but not in the same way as consumer editions - sampling content and other such things would be a legal nightmare for them. So if you want “smart” but not “consumer smart” you can go that route, but expect about twice the price.

    Edit: I suppose I can toss Planar into the mix here, different business purpose and youre not buying them at best buy. They are more of a 24x7 operation design. I don’t think 120hz is on the sale list yet though, those will be part of the UltraRes series.













  • Its just a dock, so no.

    It works with most laptops running Linux, but its still just a dock. That gigabit port is just a usb-c/thunderbolt device, it is not a full machine. Same with the video, its just DP alt mode, there is no GPU in there.

    If you want a small form factor machine to use a server, look for a used tiny/mini/micro workstation.






  • Here are a few of my favorites, some of which are exposed, some are not:

    • Mealie - Recipe management. Import recipes by URL is my favorite feature, then I tweak and try it out (I have to be gluten free, so this makes it easy to track what worked for us).
    • Homepage - a homepage to put quick links to all of my stuff, neat and clean.
    • Grafana - for visualization of current data of my systems, paired with Prometheus.
    • Technitium DNS - for all of my DNS needs.
    • Jellyfin - for all my media, let’s me pick out what my kids can see/watch without me having to look over their shoulder, along with being a great looking solution for me.
    • Immich - photo and video management

    All of these (and more, this is just a dsmple of favorites) run on Proxmox. I mostly use LXC over docker, personal preference.

    Home Assistant is probably the single most useful for me, already mentioned, just about everything at home is automated/controlled through there.
