Key word, is idle.
Synology… and HDD hibernation don’t really go together very well. If you have containers running, it won’t let the HDDs hibernate at all. And- I have a minio instance running.
Unless you have a wall of old nokia phones… it should be quite scary.
Eh… Mutually assured destruction.
It’s a very scary phrase.
Its a going. One day at a time.
I agree, I’d be picking up a bunch of those, if that were the case.
esp32-c6 (supports zigbee), is pretty cheap.
The other admin now “owns” this instance, and hosts it in the EU.
I am just a glorified moderator now.
I’d say, you have a small instance.
I used to host lemmyonline.com, which has somewhere around 50-100 users.
It was upwards of 50-80g of disk space, and it used a pretty good chunk of bandwidth. CPU/Memory requirements were not very high though.
I’d gladly donate a few TB, but Not about to fill my entire array for books i’ll never read…
Nope.
Still just feel like a kid, with extra responsibilities, while raising my own kids. Guess sometime around 50 or so i’ll start feeling like an “adult”
Although, at least I call myself a dumbass, after doing something stupid, or wasting money on crap.
I’m gonna wait a few years, until prices go waaay down… and I plan on doubling/tripling the PV capacity, which will make everything much more effective, as well.
If the ROI => 25 years, then it’s not worth it- because the hardware and equipment is considered deprecated at that point.
If it lasts 30 years, sure, its making good use of itself. But- everything is rated between 15-25 years. As such, after that period, it’s considered end of life, and no longer supported.
Now- I will note, it is not worth it for the “Rate I currently pay”, which is 0.08c/kwh. If next year, my electricity rates tripled, it would vastly reduce the amount of time until this solution reached ROI. And- I am betting that electricity does not get cheaper in the future, otherwise I would have not have pulled the trigger on a 50,000$ project, where the math told me it wasn’t the best idea.
Also, if you really want to see everything quantified- I plan on publishing all of the math, and numbers at the one year mark… which will be around march. -> https://static.xtremeownage.com/pages/Projects/Solar-Project/
Coming from someone who owns them-
Nah, it’s not worth it… at least, if you strictly look at “saving money” overall.
ROI is on average 10-25 years, depending on your current cost of energy. The components/inverters/etc, are usually rated for 20-25 years.
At least- this applies if you have a properly licensed contractor install everything. If you do everything yourself, its extremely worth it, and would achieve ROI in a decade or less.
What will realistically happen?
Nothing. Companies will just spend a hair more money finding ways to circumvent the new taxes. And, if the new taxes were not easily circumvented- they would just relocate the company to another country with lower taxes.
In the end, the consumer is paying the taxes, and not the company itself, either way.
Anti-DDOS, eh?
You lost me there. There is no self-hosted anti-ddos solution that is going to be effective… Because any decent DDOS attack, can easily completely overwhelm your WAN connection. (And potentially even your ISP’s upstream(s) )#
It could end up being a shart.
But, it has no network connectivity! That is against God’s will.
(Thus, no telemetry either)
Very interesting os though. Lots of very cool concepts
Not a clue.
Maybe they like the pretty dashboard pihole has.
unbound as a DNS filter and resolver
Its… worked as a recursive resolver, with filtering/blacklist features for years now?
46 watts… but, yea, I expected lower.
But, suppose when its spinning 4x seagate exos, they like their juice.
It apparently doesn’t allow HDD hibernation while containers are running, and doesn’t appear to like to use any sleep states.
