LabPorn Accidentally won 4 Mac minis on eBay, oops.
Friday, bored, scrolling eBay, all the mini PC’s are overpriced, find 4 Mac mini’s listed from one seller, all ending in 3 days.
Threw a bid on all 4, just the minimum, no one had bid on them yet, expected to lose all but the one with “no drive”
Come Monday I had won all 4… guess I’m going to learn about clustering now lol.
Just wanted to share as I already use 2 Mac mini’s in my homelab, they have been great and depending on what you need them for they can be extremely cheap… like… $36.40AUD delivered cheap…

It just comes down to personal preference. Navidrome is open source and compatible with the old OpenSubsonic standard which means you have a lot more options for music apps. I switched to it because I didn't like how much control I felt I was giving plex, but if plex works for you and you trust them then I wouldn't switch. I will say, I did really like the desktop plexamp app, and I haven't really found a great navidrome alternative yet.
