People tend to overbuild their home system.

You can start small and as you gain experience and maybe add more servers in docker you might want to upgrade. I.e. I was file hosting on a pi4 and external drive for years with no issues. (Upgraded hardware later for Immich)

And you will want Immich (in docker ) for replacing Google photos.

But since your workload is low a NUC or small form factor PC would be fine, as long as it has space for how many drives you plan on adding. You won’t need high end computing.

OpenMediaVault was great, and made some stuff easy. But now I just use Tumbleweed and docker for more flexibility. Any Linux distro will be fine, you don’t have to use a NAS based OS, unless it has certain features you would find useful.

The only negative is with the case installed, you don’t know if it is powering on when you hit the button, because there is no fan noise or HDD noise (I used SSDs). So you have to peek in the top vent to see if mobo lights flicker. 😀

See if you can find a Monsterlabo case. They went out of business, but their fanless cases are all heatsink so zero noise.

I picked up the itx model and overspecd the power supply so that the power supply fan never turns on either.

40 watts normal up to 60 watts. That includes modem and router. PC is fanless system.

They are complaining about US candy with corn derivatives. Food allergy maybe?

That’s what I’m saying, they have an issue with corn. Im not a doctor or psycholgist to reason why they have an issue.

Depends on the store. We have one where the outskirts are the frozen dinner freezers and other prepared foods, and natural foods are in the middle.

I think they are saying the corn derivatives are the issue, not the sugar.

Would dual thinner wall with a gap and lattice of ribs help?

It will at some point. The amount the need to charge to make a profit means most people won’t use it

Would reducing wall thickness to a single width help. That’s a whole lot of plastic mass in those corners

Yeah when people say they can’t get a podcast because its not on the apple served list. umm RSS exists and did before apple brainwashed people.

Maybe checkout other used cars. $4k is a lot to pay out for an '02…unless you really love it.

We had a '15 that needed a bunch of work about $4k actually, we found an '04 that was in amazing mechanical condition and mint interior. So we now have an older car that is in better shape with no outlay of cash

What’s the underlying filesystem on a nextcloud server? ZFS? Or something else.

This. My ups died after 10 years powering router and network. A replacement was $300 (for similar model) but the batteries were only $80. Just had to untape the pack and plastic adapter and transfer it over to the new battery set

GRsync is helpful so you can toggle the delete files on destination or not, based on source deletion. Other toggles also, and it shows you what the command line string would be if you did it manually

I hate the BMI and how people interpret it. When I was working out and peak condition with lots of muscle mass I was 29 to 30+ “overweight / obese”

Why? wireguard doesn’t respond if the keys are wrong.

Can you port forward on the router?

I have no training. Moved to Linux when W10 came out, and just organically got to self hosting

I understand your rant, but also wanted to say depending on the motorcycle, that lifting it back up is a huge achievement that should be applauded.

I think my sport bike weighed 460lbs, but those Goldwings are double that.

There is so much more to fix than the right-click context menu.

Too much AI slop too.

Proton or Tuta mail. Supports aliasing so you can make unique email addresses per website, and trash them if you get spammed.

Singing up for a paid account you also get VPN, drive storage, password manager, docs, sheets, AI chat (I know), calendar, meetings and authenticator.

Thanks, wireguard was pretty easy to setup, just time consuming mapping the devices and keys between devices. But now that stage is over its all good

Well it is a post about online privacy and keeping the prying eyes out.

Based on current USA actions, I have more faith in my own country and allies. The account info and control plane is what I mean, it could get compromised being under US control where they don’t seem to Ned warrants anymore

Are these relays? I think their announcement was data server, which means USA govt would have all your tailscale keys if they decide to keep going on the fascism.

Don’t use tailscale, a few years back they moved their server storage from Canada to the USA. Use headscle or wireguard if you are tech savvy

An illustration that money does not buy class.
