That was going to be my comment. I stack wood like a heathen, I make a mess. This young boy stacks like a pro.

I got excited because I saw a Honda EV, a prologue. Looked it up, it’s a rebranded Chevy Blazer. Honda is absolutely fucked…

I host it on the host that runs the script and proxy it. I have one mission critial pi that is my uptime bot, pi hole and backup VPN if my elaborate server falls on its face. But you could easily use docker volumes too, and have the script push to that folder.

Yep, here is the yaml but redacted

Similar, but more fancy, I have a bash script that runs every 15 minutes and ingests a config file. The config file has a super simple CSV format of every service I have. It checks that all the services are operational and generates an HTML file from it. If any services are down the HTML will show its down, otherwise its just a helpful link.

I just made a landing page in HASS, if you’re already running three instances could you make a page in one?

Older speakers like that use always on transformers, constantly wasting energy to keep the core energized. You’re correct those cannot be made any more, they must use efficient switch mode supplies.

I filed it and completely forgot. 3-4 months later I got an email letting me know I was removed.

Shell companies for a Russian front.

+1 on this idea, going to toss in my recommendation for an AMD 5600g second hand. Its basically a laptop CPU with built in GPU that handles my jellyfin transcoding without issue and has a super low idle power rating if you pair it with a quality, small PSU.

I didn’t down vote you but honestly interested in an adult conversation regarding your stance. If all I use is MS365 and I can use it in a web app with full 2FA how am I a security risk? I can access all the same things on my personal laptop, nothing is blocked, so how is Linux different?

Don’t ask for permission if most of what you do can be run from web apps. Its worked for me for a couple of years, I just can’t call IT :)

Does anyone know if running a webtunnel attracts additional unwanted hacker attempts to a domain more so than just hosting normal stuff? I presume its all bots and the simple act of hosting anything gets lots of exposure regardless.

That was the first thing I thought of, all the asymmetric yellowing from exposing the plastic flame retardants to UV light.

Thats friggin bananas. Do you live somewhere with lots of hydro power? Your cost is less than 1/3 mine…

My SSDs use negligible power at idle, I only noticed a 1w increase when I installed two. Almost ‘free’. Also your 0.14kwh is almost certainly just the cost to generate the power minus the delivery fees. Where I live the delivery fees double my true per kWh cost. Double check your bill and divide your monthly consumption by your monthly payment to find the real cost.

Any quality brand SSD (Samsung, Kingston, WD, etc) is going to be more reliable in every way compared to mechanical disks, they just cost a lot more right now. Do NOT buy off brand, random Chinese SSD, you will regret it.

When I bought them 2 years ago power in MA was $0.46 per kWh, this included transmission costs and all the other fees. 15W cost me $4.80 a month, so $57.6 a year and $230 over 4 years. At the time 14TB mechanical disks were about $300 so it was about a $270 ‘premium’ for solid state over mechanical so I exaggerated the ROI, but to me the 2x price premium was worth it for silence and no latency on retrieving my data. So in summary the ROI for me was more like 8 years, ignoring the many advantages of SSD.

Does no one care about power consumption? Mechanical disks use, in my experience, 7-15w all day all the time just idling. If you live in a high energy cost area the ROI on going SSD can be as low as 3-4 years. If you can afford it, splurge for SSD. I spent ~$800 on two 8tb SSDs and I’m very happy with the choice.

We let our bananas get ripe until they’re about to liquify and toss them whole in the freezer. When we have enough we take the black turds out and thaw them in a bowl. When thawed cut the tip open and squeeze out the condensed banana goodness like toothpaste. It’s gross but it makes next level banana bread. Use Joanne Chang’s recipe, its the best.
