I manage some servers and awk can be useful to filter data. If you use commands like grep, and use the pipe operator (the " | " command), awk can be very handy.

Sure, a Python script can do that as well, but doing a one-liner in Bash is waaay faster to program.

For the media server, I recommend taking a look at Jellifyn. If you want some fancy statistics use, also give it a look at a Prometheus+Graphana config.

Based on your comment, I understand that AMD GPUs aren’t capable of 8k@60 over HDMI. Is that the case? If so, why?
