Yes and because wiregurad is stateless you’ll need a script that checks if your DNS endpoint has updated and restart the wireguard interface so it pulls the fresh DNS/updated IP address. I had to make said bash script for my nodes.

I ran it for awhile but the upgrades even in docker because unnecessarily difficult and annoying. They often rolled out so many incremental and useless updates instead of one large one every once in awhile. I abandoned it for mattermost.

I bought all the gear to do 10gbe but ultimately went back to 1gig simply because the power consumption. The switch alone used 20w at idle and each NIC burned 8w and I couldn’t justify it.

So you have photoprism pointed to a folder but you push photos into the folder witb syncthing. How do you trigger the re-index or its somehow automatic? I run my photoprism in docker and I always had to manually trigger the index after changes to the folder.

As someone who has and still used photoprism for over two years and donated heavily…steer clear. Their update cycle is slow and the things they keep adding don’t seem helpful. Still no multi-user support. If you don’t upload new photos via photoprism using WebDAV you have to make your own scripts to watch for changes and refresh which took a lot of time for me to setup.

I’m just going to start using Nextcloud and Memories app going forward.

Most folks ignore laptops, but if you’re OK with USB storage or getting the special caddy to install the internal 2.5" drive you can get great deals on laptops. This one idles around 4W with the screen off.

Well incompetentboob, let me tell you. You will short and blow the voltage supply on the motherboard and take that port out of service.

Required course work for electrical engineers in the early 2000s.

Lockheed Martin pulled this shit on me 20 years ago. Applied for a job, did a quick phone screen and they invited me to their campus 5 hours away for an in person interview. When I got there they had a whole gymnasium setup with booths and about 50 people doing interviews and 200 bewildered engineers showing up hoping for a job. They never once mentioned it was going to be factory interviews. Fuck that and similar companies.

Foldersync pro has worked flawlessly for me for over a decade. At first I just used samba on my LAN and it would sync at night but then I spun up new and more services and it supports most all of them. I highly recommend.

Been using it for over a year on two 8tb SSDs in strip and 14tb as mirror. This is on Debian and its flawless and wonderful. I run btrkbk hourly for snapshots, backups to remote locations and house keeping with 6 months of hourly snaps. Life is great.

I have the micro form factor I assume the same as you. Basically just a laptop in a small desktop case. I never installed tlp I’ll have to give that a shot but I’m pretty sure it’s optimized. I have two as servers and one as a router and I’d love to get it down to 12w total! I monitor the whole server rack with an iotawatt and all my servers and networking gear hovers around 75w idle.

I’d question that. I have three 3080 and they’re consistently about 8W each with one ssd and onboard graphics. I even went so far to splice three barrel jacks to a single 60w power supply that powers all three to avoid the losses of an additional 2 power supplies and this gets me the 8w idle power with Debian and throttling.

At the risk of sounding like an oaf I just use an excel document, and these days I just keep it in nextcloud and edit it via a browser while in the driveway. Each car gets a sheet. Keeping it simple.

Ditto, though I’m getting more and more resentful by the day at the lack of multi user support. I’m not going to donate to them again.

Blackvue cameras have WiFi but its always off by default. You have to manually toggle it with a button and if nothing connects it turns back off.

I hear ya but my instance is old (before i knew docker) and just works on the rails. I also tweak the heck out of it for performance so I deal with the annoyance once every two years. If it completely blows up I might roll it on docker.

I understand that everyone doesn’t always have a perfect experience but I’ve been using the same instance of nextcloud for over 8 years I just keep upgrading and migrating. It just works. Only issues I’ve had is when Debian withholds updating php for too long or when they finally do all the config files for php get fucked and I have to redo them all.

Here is the list!

1 x Samsung SSD 980 1TB

1 x Adata XPG SX8200 Pro 2TB

2 x Samsung SSD 870 QVO 8TB

1 x Western digital engineering sample. Cannot comment. 4TB

1 x Seagate Exos X16 14tb

My server is a ryzen 5600g based and has; 2 x m.2 SSDs, 3xSATA SSDs (20TB) and one spun down mechanical disk (14TB) and my total idle power is around 27W. The mechanical disk is the only notable load, unplugging it can save me 5W idle and when it spins up its about 15W total. I can give you specific model numbers if you like.
