Well incompetentboob, let me tell you. You will short and blow the voltage supply on the motherboard and take that port out of service.

Install Enocean wireless, battery free switches. I’ve used them for many years, they work awsome. The switches can go anywhere you want (double side tape on any surface) or screw in as normal light switches. The act of pushing the button generates enough energy to send the RF signal to a receiver you install with the light and its powered from AC mains.
Needing something is one thing, tax payer subsidies is another topic entirely. State tax payers have now all chipped in for these Data centers and the question is was it worth it for them.
May or may not be an option for you but buy any camera that supports rtsp, only allow that traffic from their network through and block everything else. Works fine for me and my Amcrest cameras. You could accomplish this with a pi and a USB network card and some basic iptables.
Lockheed Martin pulled this shit on me 20 years ago. Applied for a job, did a quick phone screen and they invited me to their campus 5 hours away for an in person interview. When I got there they had a whole gymnasium setup with booths and about 50 people doing interviews and 200 bewildered engineers showing up hoping for a job. They never once mentioned it was going to be factory interviews. Fuck that and similar companies.
Been using it for over a year on two 8tb SSDs in strip and 14tb as mirror. This is on Debian and its flawless and wonderful. I run btrkbk hourly for snapshots, backups to remote locations and house keeping with 6 months of hourly snaps. Life is great.
I have the micro form factor I assume the same as you. Basically just a laptop in a small desktop case. I never installed tlp I’ll have to give that a shot but I’m pretty sure it’s optimized. I have two as servers and one as a router and I’d love to get it down to 12w total! I monitor the whole server rack with an iotawatt and all my servers and networking gear hovers around 75w idle.
I’d question that. I have three 3080 and they’re consistently about 8W each with one ssd and onboard graphics. I even went so far to splice three barrel jacks to a single 60w power supply that powers all three to avoid the losses of an additional 2 power supplies and this gets me the 8w idle power with Debian and throttling.
I would argue living below your means is always better. Getting a cheap mortgage you can add an extra $100 or $200 a month to for the first five years makes a TREMENDOUS difference in how much interest you pay over the life of the mortgage and how soon you own it. The first five years of a mortgage are so important, all your payments go to interest. I’ve turned all my 30 mortgages into 15-20 year mortgages by over payments and it’s served me extremely well.
At the risk of sounding like an oaf I just use an excel document, and these days I just keep it in nextcloud and edit it via a browser while in the driveway. Each car gets a sheet. Keeping it simple.
Ditto, though I’m getting more and more resentful by the day at the lack of multi user support. I’m not going to donate to them again.
There is no one single solution to complex problems, it requires optimism and taking the first step.
I hear ya but my instance is old (before i knew docker) and just works on the rails. I also tweak the heck out of it for performance so I deal with the annoyance once every two years. If it completely blows up I might roll it on docker.
I understand that everyone doesn’t always have a perfect experience but I’ve been using the same instance of nextcloud for over 8 years I just keep upgrading and migrating. It just works. Only issues I’ve had is when Debian withholds updating php for too long or when they finally do all the config files for php get fucked and I have to redo them all.
Here is the list!
1 x Samsung SSD 980 1TB
1 x Adata XPG SX8200 Pro 2TB
2 x Samsung SSD 870 QVO 8TB
1 x Western digital engineering sample. Cannot comment. 4TB
1 x Seagate Exos X16 14tb
My server is a ryzen 5600g based and has; 2 x m.2 SSDs, 3xSATA SSDs (20TB) and one spun down mechanical disk (14TB) and my total idle power is around 27W. The mechanical disk is the only notable load, unplugging it can save me 5W idle and when it spins up its about 15W total. I can give you specific model numbers if you like.
I’m sorry but wireguard is not easy for beginners and the quick QR code generator in the command line was fantastic and light years ahead of fumbling around with getting config files securely to a mobile device.
Been using afraid.org for well over 10 years and use dynamic dns to have various subdomains pointing to different IP addresses/hosts I have in physically different places. It just works and I login maybe once every 3-4 years.
I’ll upvote the heck out of any gnome stuff. Still like their first album best but I enjoy any good new metal and this is great.
