Thank you, that is not as bad as I expected. 👍

Unless your brain is hallucinating this whole reality 😀

How much electricity does it burn? And how much does it cost to let it run overnight? I feel like this is the same problem that the companies have, its way too expensive to use it on a lots of things and it is way cheaper to use it on someone else’s server…

I tried, but didn’t want to invest into it, so I used my 12-GB-vram gpu but no matter what I did it was worse than Lumo from proton,which is basically only one LLM from 3rd party that I am okay to use on occasions and since it has really good free tier I gave up on self hosted LLM.

Which country are you from if I may ask? 😀 I think in EU this would not fly. I think at most they can terminate your service if you torrent a lot but even then I can’t say I saw this happen. Usually they start throttling your internet temporarily and send you email that you should not do it.

Can an ISP forbid you having your own home server? That doesn’t sound legal. And if I am not mistaken the cloudflare tunnel is a lot like tailscale (which i would recommend over cloudflare anyway) it doesn’t need open ports or anything like that.

Its per hour. Basically my nas draws on average 40 W at any given moment.

My nas takes about 40 Wh. And my network machine (proxmox + openwrt) about 20 Wh. When I upgraded my nas a year ago it was actually drawing twice as much, I have since then switched to more efficient processor (amd from normal to E) and I took out graphic card that I didn’t use. I could have in theory merge those two, but I wanted to separate networking from nas+apps. I don’t know how much my smart devices take but I don’t have many so it can be up to 50 Wh total maybe. But that is more smart home than self hosting 😀

I think Signal has this by default. It’s called “note to self”. So not really my idea 😀

Oh yeah, we also have a wall calendar with my wife. But personally I use digital calendar.

Its not as messy for me, but took time to come up with something that works for me. The three categories are intentional. “Next” are basically simple tasks that can be done at once (but take more than a few mins), added after planning, so that doesn’t really change once they are added (and I just tick what is done). In progress, pretty similar, but longer term tasks (maybe not perfect name for the category). I usually keep a section under the task based on how much I expect sub-tasks or notes. And inbox, well its just add all, plan later list. When something moves to next or in progress or is done immediately I just tick it in inbox. In inbox I have 3 types of tick-boxes. Square ones - if I expect a task to be doable fast without moving it anywhere (in GTD those are the under 2 minutes tasks). Then round one for tasks that need to be added to next. And triangle for tasks that will be longer-term tasks and need to be added to the in-progress section once I decide to do them.

Not really, I have them home at my desk. When I have something I need to add when I am not home I usually add it to the self-message on Signal which I basically use as inbox for all sorts of ideas anyway.

I have been looking for a good to-do ecosystem for so long that I ended up with pen and paper. Hear me out. I bought very nice a6 paper notebook and very comfortable ball pen an I just enjoy having this one non-digital, offline thing. After years of not writing with pen and doing most of my life management digitally, having this one thing this way… It’s hard to explain but I enjoy. I even try to write with nice joined-up writing. At the beginning of the notebook I have next todos section, in the middle I have in progress long term todos and at the back I have inbox.

I would remove Brax Phone altogether, that guy is fearmongering people into buying old insecure phones. There were times I was watching his videos until I saw the pattern…

Opnsense can’t do wi-fi as far as I know, so its more like firewall/managed switch rather than router, isn’t it?

Oh man how I wish Steam made a linux phone… Sure we have pmOS but it not yet daily driveable (I have it on op6) for most people and second, once there is official Linux phone from a big company, every Linux phone benefits because there will be new apps like banking apps and similar.

OpenWRT is also quite capable firewall. It’s a full fledged router software after all.

The minimums btw doesn’t apply if you registered through the trueNAS partnership

Me too. Have the plan from trueNAS partnership and pay less than 5 bucks a month

I humbly disagree with others that 16 Gigz of ram is not enough. A. For the first server it is definitely enough, before you know what you really need. B. In current rampocalypse it would be crazy buying ram without knowing that you really need it (only for it to sit there unused later). Your setup is fine and only time and your inner hobbyist selfhoster will tell later what you need.

I’d recommend using eficient procesors as well, so with ryzen with grafics and efficience it’s GE at the end. I recently switched ryzen 5 5500 for ryzen 5 4600GE (because 5500 doesn’t have efficient variant) and the consumption halved. And both were/are basically idle with very low loads.

In syncthing you can configure ip of a device and you can turn off discovery. You can add devices by id or scanning qr of the id. I have been using that for years since I didn’t want third party servers in the equation…

Used to use syncthing for files, now I just mount smb shares since I finally found how to do it on Android. Also kdeconnect is indispensable tool for me.

I use storj. Its well integrated with true nas. And the encrypted files are fragmented, duplicated and scattered around the world. (many people host storj node no their true nas as well).
