Will a splitter work at the end of this cable? in c/[email protected]

You cannot share Ethernet with splitters. Each device needs it's own cable back to a switch.

What scenarios does a home server need a GPU? in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Plex can only use the GPU if you haver the paid version. Those features are disabled in the free version. I run my plex server on Windows Server 2016 with an I7-3770K CPU @ 3.5GHz and 16GB RAM, with no dedicated graphics card, just the Intel on CPU graphics. I have no performance problems with transcoding videos using the free version of plex.

Are there any self-hosted, modern mail servers (similar to Sendgrid, AWS SES, etc.)? in c/[email protected]

I really like hMailServer for Windows. Includes both transport and backend server supporting POP and IMAP clients. Supports proper encryption and SPAM filters. No longer supported but still available.

Is a ethernet cable pointless if my router is in my room? in c/[email protected]

Certainly not. Wifi lacks the bandwidth 1 Gb Ethernet has. If you have multiple devices, they all share the maximum bandwidth of Wifi, which is typically around 700Mb total, compared to each device getting a full 1Gb on Ethernet.
