I guess you live in a country with loads of spare IP addresses. Here in the UK they change every few days and IPs get rotated between all ISPs, so you can’t even deduct which ISP I’m using. And sometimes my IP is not even a mainland UK IP, but some weird shit from across the world, because Empire, lol.

Your IP changes all the time, it doesn’t matter. The best someone can deduct from your IP is the country.

If you want to run Ollama and other ML stuff, you’re looking at buying an RTX4090, my friend. Affordable and ML are two things you can’t put into one sentence.

I have four Raspberry Pi 4 running, so that’s 15W max each or 60W max total. Usually they consume much much less.

Because when you’re using Docker, you shouldn’t use Proxmox. And to be fair, I don’t understand why people are using Proxmox at all.

Maybe normal, maybe not. What software do you run there?

I thought about setting up a mini PC, which can work beautifully, but the apps are crap, so I decided against that idea. I mean I personally can deal with hacky solutions, but not my family members. Synology software turned out to be a transparent replacement for the services my family is using.

$18 per year? No thanks. But a good find.

Are they small spikes spread across time or large chunks of heavy load, like 80%+ load for hours? If it’s the first, then probably it’s just normal operation. Otherwise check your running processes and start tracking what’s going on during high loads.

Ok, show me a good SFTP client which auto-uploads the photos I take on Android an iOS devices, let’s me share them with anyone I wish and creates a photo library with tags, date grouping, etc.

Ok, great to know, thanks!

I need CPU and other metrics because recently one of my Docker containers got infected with DDOS software and CPU spike was a tell tale.

Mmm, forgot about Zabbix, they’re actually from my home country and I used to know some people there.

SFTP is not the same as Drive functionality, that’s the thing. Again, Syncthing solves a different problem, it’s not applicable here.

After tinkering with several software packages like NextCloud I decided to buy a Synology NAS instead. Their mobile apps are much better than anything open source today and they do a great job of de-Googling your life. The apps are so good that your non-techy members of the family won’t even notice the change.

Syncthing is not a good solution at all. It requires a persistent connection. That means you will have crazy battery drain and you will have issues when your mobile devices roam between networks. Syncthing is not a replacement for Google Drive/Nextcloud, it solves a different problem.

I’ll take a look, thanks.

Thanks!

I’ll take a look, thanks!

What’s the difference between Prometheus and Telegraf? Why do you prefer Telegraf?
