  • For router recommendations, I’d go with a Gl-inet router. they run OpenWRT out of box and smacked the hell out of my previous Netgear gaming router in both wireless range and stability, especially on 5GHz. I have the Flint 2 right now and I believe they just released the Flint 3 but the one I have is more than enough for my home network.

  • A lot of others are commenting some great stuff. I would like to add, knowing how to program is less about knowing the specific syntax of different commands, and is more about knowing how to work with functional groups and logical paths. Once you get that down, moving to another language then becomes learning the syntax and quirks of the new language.

    So, any language is a good starting point, a lot of the skills you learn from it will be applicable to lots of others.

    personally, I started with Basic, then C by way of microcontroller and robotics programming.

  • for Jellyfin specifically, get yourself a cheap x86_64 PC and cheap or used graphics card. (or a cpu with integrated graphics)

    for example, my jellyfin is running on an AMD FX-6xxx processor and a GTX 670 just fine.

    the raspberry pi will work for Jellyfin as long as you don’t have any transcoding to do, but the minute you need transcoding you’ll need a GPU or good encoder/decoder chip.
