I dont know what that means. Do the oauth creds get shared with a third party or no? The point is that most of these solutions require me letting an app post on my behalf. I don't want that.

Hi there, I have build a nice backup NAS recently: Supermicro X11SCL-IF 16 GB ECC RAM 2666 Intel i3 9100T M.2 512 GB System Disk 4x 8TB Ironwolf 5400 RPM Fractal Node 304 Case Be quiet Pure Power 11 This is around 40W @the wall with all disks spinning and has Intel quicksync for decoding. My use case is mainly backup, you should consider i5 for hosting more apps on it. The processor was 30$ at eBay but is quite low power and has ECC support without being a Xeon processor. The newer generations of i3 do not have ECC ram from the spec. The board itself was 300€, but wanted ECC ram. The case is well cooled what ist most important for a system running for a long time. You should also consider N100 mini computer in addition to have more flexibility in the long run for different application demands. Hope this helps for decision making

False positive what? I didn't give any specific examples of alerts, just simply monitoring metrics. Are you referring to the note on the Dnsmasq memory leak?

That would be a mirror of my setup. GMKtec N100 with 16 Gb of RAM doing all the heavy lifting with Jellyfin (transcoding), game servers, HomeAssistant and so forth. Not once has it had a hickup. It's a brilliant little thing for really very little money. Remember to activate C-states in BIOS to achieve the super low idle TDP people talk about, around 6-8W. Good luck on your journey!

Old PCs often have that problem. My "NAS" is more a full on proxmox server with an AM5 CPU, 64GB ECC and yet it halved my power consumption compared to its predecessors.

If you needs are simple, write a simple playbook using the proxmox ansible module https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/community/general/proxmox_kvm_module.html Terraform/Opentofu provides more advanced stuff but then you have to worry about persistent state storage, the clunky DSL... used it when acsolutely needed, you can do 90% of this stuff with the proxmox ansible module. If you need to make your playbook less verbose, move the logic to a role so that you can configure your VMs from a few lines in the playbook/host_vars. Mine looks like this (it's for libvirt and not proxmox, but the logic is the same) # playbook.yml - hosts: hypervisor.example.org roles: - libvirt # host_vars/hypervisor.example.org.yml libvirt_vms: - name: vm1.example.org xml_file: "{{ playbook_dir }}/data/libvirt/vm1.example.org.xml" state: running autostart: yes - name: vm2.example.org xml_file: "{{ playbook_dir }}/data/libvirt/vm2.example.org.xml" autostart: no - name: vm3.example.org xml_file: "{{ playbook_dir }}/data/libvirt/vm3.example.org.xml" autostart: no - name: vm4.example.org xml_file: "{{ playbook_dir }}/data/libvirt/vm4.example.org.xml" autostart: no disk_size: 100G

turn that monitor off and save power?

Maybe take a look at this fork: pairdrop

Thanks for this! I guess that settles my case deliberation at least. But man, getting all the things you mentioned for $170 on eBay is crazy good!!! I must just really need to dig in there a bit deeper (it's gonna be too easy to go broke with home networking as a hobby otherwise lol). I guess so long as I am memtesting my RAM and burning in drives right after getting them I should be okay. I think I also am overindexing on trying to get my power draw as low as possible instead of really doing the math out and seeing how long I'd need to be running something 24/7 before the power savings ends up outweighing the price differential. But thanks again!

Therefore the laptop is the disk controller and if you gracefully shut down the OS it will take care of all the housekeeping tasks to prepare a disk for safe shutdown (flush cache to disk, park heads on spinning rust, etc) and then it will be safe to turn off the PSU.

I really like Tempo so far. I haven't tried it in my car yet. But I'm missing a widget

That happens on my RSS reader, I haven't looked into it too deeply but I'm assuming he's using JavaScript to populate the entries and are thus not being populated on none dowser clients

I always wondered if it safe to do so, but never trusted myself, since I don't want to risk the data that's already there.

thanks I managed to enable openvino and pick a stronger model and it's working quite well, I also bumped the ram to 10gb
