I think it’s pretty cool in beszel you can set it up using docker so easily and pass the disks through for SMART monitoring and not have to have an extra solution.

Gemma4 e4b quant8 will fit in 12gb and is good

Hi, I’ve had a good experience with the G6 dome cams. Works well. The door bell has been difficult. It works better on android than iPhone. Talking to people at the door sucks on iPhone (quiet voice from the phone to the door person) it has been a bug for some time they haven’t fixed. Google forums of people complaining about not working or quiet voice. If all you want is video recording on the door bell it’s good enough. But frequently interacting with multiple phones and guests gets frustrating on the G4 Pro.

I wonder why current consumer HDD’s don’t have NVME connectors on them. Like I know speeding up the bus isn’t going to make the spinning rust access faster but the cache ram would probably benefit from not being capped at 550MBps

It’s not free but it’s awesome and cheap. Setup a WebDAV share and join it using “Mountainduck.io”. It connects to everything like SMB but I find WebDAV’s multichannel is more performant in the long run. Checks notes Win/Mac only sorry.

Yeah if the fuzz flattened when you passed your finger over it, I’d be in.

I’ve read on the internet some people export their Spotify to a YouTube playlist to then pass through Parabolic and enter the result into Navidrome. Maybe as a feature you could add a Spotify to YT playlist creator somehow.

Remember you aren’t just backing up the data but also backing up the hours of effort it takes to rebuild and get it how you want. If frequently backing up just the service OS you can store heaps for $2 on offerings like OVH cold archive.

Remove yourself from the backup you’ll forget or it will be inconvenient the week it blows up, so automate it, check the automation monthly. Don’t care that the 2nd cold backup takes ages if you have a quicker main backup.

Fireproof safes aren’t melt heatproof. Don’t rely on a local house backups for fireproofing.

I’m a self hoster, and hate subscription services but I believe cloud storage for use with a compressed encrypted backup makes sense.

Backup media and other stuff separately to avoid one large slow monolithic backup.

RPi Digital Signage is really good. Binaryemotions.com. it’s built thoughtfully for a bunch of different situations. The kiosk mode paired with some sort of start page would work.

If you VPS it, remember to add a snapshot backup. Such as $5 vultr VPS always add the $2 snapshot backup option.

Pfft, what no LXDE

Instructions unclear, now my NAS’s voice is squeaky.

1. Entropy is a law of our universe. All data wants to be lost given a long enough timeline and without attention.

2. Divide your data into what you can’t do without and what you may not care about losing.

3. Take a backup out of your hands, make it as automatic as possible.

4. I sync to encrypted folders on Google drive then use msp360 cloud to automatically copy everything in that drive to another cheap cloud storage that is client side encrypted.

For the protection it gives me, it’s cheap.

This post doesn’t benefit me at all but I love how long it is.

HD Clone X cloner Or MSP360 (Cloud Berry) Standalone Backup

Both cost money but not a lot and are very reliable.

Local Send. I got it from Techno Tim recommends.

Serif Affinity

I use idrive e2. When I did the math it’s yearly up front cost works out what deep archive is without an egress fee and it’s quicker. In the fine print there is a fair use policy on downloads but I think it’s 5x the storage amount.

Deep archive storage alone without puts is $24 TB year. idrive is $15 first year $30 subsequent. But it behaves more like s3 standard instant retrieval which is much more expensive.

Small company but have been around a long time now.

I’ve had multiple $5 Vultr VPS’s for about 5 years for simple purposes and they’ve been reliable and performed well.
