I crave the challenge

Whatever works for you, simple is always better

Jellyseerr is your friend. She can request whatever and you can get alerts to add it. Even if your stuff isn’t automated

You can create a tmpfs on other storage devices as well, just curious what their setup looked like

From personal experience intel QSV wasn’t worth the trouble to txshoot on my hardware. Mine is a lot older than yours though. Vaapi has worked well on my arc card

Is the tmpfs on RAM?

Never heard of zig before, thanks
