You have several long and comprehensive answers so please allow me to add an emotional one:

Fucking compile error in hour six of what you estimated to be a four hour compile job because of a mistake you made that you found within 5 seconds after the error!!

Fucking why doesn’t this compilation start I can’t find my mistake for hours?!

Where does this module come from?! What do you mean “root kit”? Learning was fun!

It all was fun! :)

Is there anything to support this? I couldn’t find anything that really has this intend documented and Intel weren’t the only on pushing for usb as the most simple protocol possible ( I recall a lot of excitement about the “u” part… How naive at least I was back then!).

I’m not knowledgeable enough to really argue against it, looking simply from an Okham point of view as “they wanted everything to connect” - the printer in the same way as that PDA… Plus Intels de facto (IT) world domination at the time it just seems unlikely.

Edit: some sentences didn’t make even less sense, fixed.

Cups

linux printing server - if you want to share a printer over network or just use one locally on a linux machine.

(not OP but same boat) Doesn’t really matter to me because google knows my servers external IP which is a non-issue: I don’t expect google to try to attack me individually but crawl data about me. There is no automatic link between my server and my personal browsing habits.

In terms of attack vector vs ease of use , self hosting searxng is a nobrainer for me - but I do have an external server available for things like that anyway so no additional overhead needed.

Two more things to add: you get downvoted not for the content but for the tone. People tend to not respond well to abuse, even if verbal - and at least I read a “make this shit work for me” in between your lines.

And more important: what you are asking is not easy. Wouldn’t be on windows, wouldn’t be on macos (disclaimer: I’ve never set up the arr stack on either but docker runtimes) . You are diving into server software no matter if you’re the only user or not. Either you accept this and the learning curve ahead of you or you give up on it.

A Dockerfile itself is the instruction set. There is a certain minimum requirement expected from a server admin that differs from end-user requirements.

The ease of docker obfuscates that quite a bit but if you want to go full bare metal (or full AWS or GCS, etc etc) then you need to manage the full admin part as well - including custom deployments.

No worries I phrased that quite weird I think.

A NAS is only more power efficient if the additional power of a full server is not used. If for some reason the server is still needed than the NAS will be additional power consumption and not save anything.

(for example I run some quite RAM and compute heavy things on my server which no stock NAS could handle I think).

That would replace the computer with the NAS though and is not true for a server that you’d want to extend, right?

Is that 370watt across all of them or per fat server? I ask because three m5 sound like a lot of power drain!.

And thanks for sharing!

I didn’t know that about the immich app, thanks for pointing it out!

Then you need a third application (e.g. syncthing) to replicate the auto upload functionality of Nextcloud.

Personally I don’t want to have same functionality in a different stack because of pipeline issues. Doesn’t solve OPs issue I just wanted to point out that your solution might have drawbacks OP didn’t see at first glance :)

Why do you think that not doing something has more reason than “no one sees the value”?

If you think any of those projects would benefit from it… It’s a pull request away.

When “reasonable” deviates on every major setting then it’s not possible to provide a sane default. Both i3 and hyprland have example configurations - I have yet to see two identical configs in the wild.

You have it the other way around: it is aimed at people for whom there can’t be a sane default because of the highly individual wants.

If you don’t intend to adjust your environment to your workflow that’s fine - there’s KDE and gnome for a reason.

Thank you! That’s really interesting, the performance with a pi 3 was way worse - even more than the pure spec difference would’ve lead me to believe.

The OCR devs have made a really awesome job!

You are running a specific module of a project locally - not the whole project. The web server is an integral part - leaving it out makes you do a bit of the leg work: you’d need to figure out how the websites get built and deployed and then reverse engineer that for your android environment.

Personally I’m fascinated by that attempt and it could be an awesome learning opportunity. To be honest I don’t have the motivation to follow your path down this rabbit hole though.

If you decide to follow up I’d appreciate you giving updates from time to time about your insights! ♥

Thanks for sharing! The only thing I’m surprised to see in your list is paperless - how long does OCR take on a pi?

“Being a router” is what they are good for! Even needed.

Edit to be more specific: two switches in each of the 10gbit and redundant uplink would be a setup I can see, depending on your line.

No overkill there :)

Oh. Ohhhhh. I’ll leave that in there for others to laugh at!

And thanks for pointing it out I completely missed your point!

Why? If I want to learn the impact I try to understand the intention I would need - it’s (intended to be) written from that point of view.

Now if I don’t want it I know what not to do - plus the implications.

That’s a great question, thank you! It made me dick (edit: standing by my mistake!) a (tiny) bit deeper. I took a different perspective and the tldr is: Do you want to kill specifics? I.e. local plants, animals, water poisoning, etc - then mercury is the winner!

If you’re after killing via global temperature variation then the car is… Well… Killing it.

But on a serious note: both are bad but depending on how your local trash is handled those small bulbs could actually have an impact, most likely via the water chain.

If those are the two options I had I would just store them like OP. But then again where I live most shops take those back to recycle them properly.

Thanks again for the question, I had a fun few minutes!
