End of last month they announced a login would be required even to just view old dot reddit. At the moment it seems like they might be A/B Testing it. A handful of people are still reporting that old dot works, but myself and many others can no longer access it - being redirected to a login prompt.

"Oh well," I say. I won't be creating an account.

(Supposedly the RSS is still accessible. You might look into that. I'm considering scripting up something I can throw a URL into that gets the useful info out - for the occasions when Reddit is a top result for a tech question or the like.)

Not sure what you plan on hosting but it looks like the G5 uses 9th Gen Intel. That should be plenty capable of doing 1080 transcodes if you run something like Jellyfin.

Before I built and migrated things to my NAS, I used a Lenovo m70q with a 10th gen i5 and 16GB of RAM as my docker host. Jellyfin ran great. Everything else I ran was pretty lightweight with the exception of TubeArchivist. It uses ElasticSearch which can grow pretty RAM hungry when caching large libraries.

Yeah, RAM is probably the biggest thing. Being able to upgrade it, particularly, if it only comes with 16GB. After that is processing power. When I was looking for hardware I think anything 7th gen and newer was recommended for Jellyfin (they recommend 11th and newer for new hardware purchases now).

In truth I used a Pi4B and external HDD for media storage when I first started. It could manage a single transcode at a time but the CPU was pegged at 100% doing it. :thinking_fire:
