They’re not energy efficient when they’re working, but usually servers are idle 95% of the time.

You’ll spend more money buying new hardware than the power you save.

I use a VLAN that blocks it from my WAN interference.

All internal VLAN except my Internet only VLAN can print to it.

I finally ran a hardware accelerated ML container for immich.

My immich is in a VPS and my GPU is in my home server. Cheaper to run that than to rent GPU compute.

I remember on Reddit several years ago I said that automatic bitlocker is the curse of installing W11 on a laptop.

I got down voted so hard. One comment even said you should be thankful because encrypting by default should be the norm.

But yet if I add any thunderbolt device to my windows before I boot it, it requires me to input my 25 character bitlocker key… that’s hosted online within my Microsoft account.

Bitlocker enabling by default without user input is horrible. Hosting the keys online is also horrible. It could be so easy to socal engineer into your Microsoft account.

• Noctua NT-H2 is also very good

I disclose that I can see your activity, bit realistically it’s so I can see how the encoding process is half a world away. They don’t seem to complain about the quality so seems good to go for me.

Also I wish they sent me notes of which shows has offset subtitles. Can’t watch them all myself

I used to take only regional trains due to the D ticket.

For long distance it’s usually 2 ICE trains max.

Now it’s mostly just 1 train with regionals on each side

For the past 7 years using DB. I can probably count on one hand if I was delayed more then 2 hours.

However being delayed between 30 mins to 1 hour is extremely common. Often half my trips.

For every important trips, we do go the night before and then stay local.

Worst I’ve been delayed was 5 hours, that’s because a signal between Frankfurt and Köln failed

I rsync everything with ssh keys.

Really easy to do.

Not really fixing the account issue, but can you use an email alias? I use one for my account.

I use ssh keys… And some firewall rules.

I do have an internet only and a LAN only VLAN at least.

I’ve been pretty opportunistic when upgrading. Usually every 1.5 cycles.

The cost difference isn’t too big, and I just bought my last upgrade right between the crypto and AI bubble.

I mean most general cameras have an IR and UV filter.

However many can detect NIR wavelengths like 850nm which are nearly undetectable by humans.

It’s the strange Intel CPUs with the 1c/1t efficiency cores. (i5-14600k)

I have PoE cameras and wifi points. The meshmastic node is also PoE.

MT will loose all of the historical data each time your reboot it. And MT seems to push updates quite often.

Additional I can at least have community rules for IDS/IPS. MT only has a basic stateful firewall abilities.

The fiber uplink actually goes to my warm backup server. That gets turned on every few months to so to take a backup from the main server. It’s 160TB raw.

It’s grown and shrunk a lot the past 8 years of homelabbing.

• 14c/20t CPU
• Main storage is 78TB in Z1 (50ish TB usable)
• 3 active VMs
• 5 VLANs
• Handful of 1G/2.5G switching ports
• Nearly everything is PoE as the gods intended
• 1 Meshtastic node that’s not visible
• 1 5G/LTE modem that’s not plugged in
• Router is a Mikrotik RB5009UG+S+IN
• Switch is a Unifi USW Enterprise 24 PoE

Adding an OPNsense Firewall soon, just to mess around with some sort of dynamic firewall capabilities.

Maybe IBAN/SWIFT

Crypto?

I have vital data with a friend who is also in a different continent. But we share some stuff. That one is only 16tb. And on a Pi, unsure how long that thing will last

My cloud is at my parent’s house in a different continent.

48tb of my own data and hardware.

Keller paid a commission of $1 to each police officer that convinced another to purchase a light.

After Keller left in 1972, he continued designing lights for a new company (Pro-Light, 1973), later moving on to Maglite (1979), Brinkmann, and ASP.
