CokemonZ:

@Mark are you using this with plex in a docker container? Did it passthrough easy enough?

Yup! TrueNAS Scale, running Plex and Tdarr in containers, the Tesla P4 is shared and both can use it at the same time.

Bear in mind these are passively cooled and designed for server airflow.

I'm using mine for gaming and its thermal throttling quite often - I have had to ramp up my server fans when it's under load.

Are you doing a home "Cloud Gaming" server that you connect to from remote ? What software are you using for it .. something I'm interested in doing as well.

Has Aramax (formerly Fastway) taken over the Ali deliveries in NZ?

All 4 of the items I ordered recently were delivered by Aramax.

AliExpress Standard is often delivered by Aramex, but not aways.

If Ali routes the package via Singapore Post for example, it will be delivered by NZ Post.

If it's not obvious from the tracking number shown on AliExpress, use https://parcelsapp.com/ as that will often give you a related tracking number that you can use to determine who will be delivering the item.

The tracking numbers for all 4 items all begin with MX so I guess sometimes you can work out the courier service by the tracking number provided.

Yes I am - going a bit off topic, I'll message you with the details.

MX packages are being delivered by Aramex and NZ Post.

Also asked this question a while back, as I have never had Aramex deliver AliExpress orders before.

Its about 50/50 between NZPost and Aramex for me now. While my previous experience with Fastway/Aramex has been rubbish, the latest deliveries have actually been good., they even delivered on Waitangi day.

I have an old HP ML350 G8, it's setup for this type of card I believe.

2 or 3 transcodes fine on CPU, many more than that and it turns into a wind tunnel. I assume this thing will be a lot more efficient.

No need for gaming here.
