@TWiT I have run a PLex Media Server on a headless 2018 Intel Mac Mini for the last two years. works great. He's being retired, literally today as we speak, as i migrate the PMS duties to an LXC in Proxmox on a NUC N150 that draws 6W of power idle and 10W under load, compared to the 2018 MM that idles at 40-45W and 90C CPU. The N150 NUC also running my Home Assistant, the 'arr-suite, changedetection.io, audiobookshelf and some Wireguard VPN and Tor gateway LXC's. Rest easy my faithfull MM2018.
