pi zero for streaming is insane not gonna lie. What sort of resolution do you stream it at?

A decently newish phone would blow even a pi 5 out of the water I bet. Modern GPU drivers from snapdragon or mediatek plus core designs that arent 7 years old out of the factory would be a godsend for low-watt homelabbers

my friends complaining that my plex server because I left my phone on the bus and it ran out of charge

I just memorise the IPs lmao. then again I only have 1 or 2 hosts up on my network ever
