Net 100% renewable, no nuclear. I can even choose where it comes from (in my case, a wind farm in northwest France). Of course, not all of my electricity come from there at all time, but I have the guaranty that renewable energy bounds equivalent to my consumption will be bought from there, so it is basically the same.

Between 50W (idle) and 140W (max load). Most of the time it is about 60W.

So about 1.5kWh per day, or 45kWh per month. I pay 0,22€ per kWh (France, 100% renewable energy) so about 9-10€ per month.

Or smart sockets. I got multiple of them (ZigBee ones), they are precise enough for most uses.

I still prefer OsmAnd, far more feature, and at least you can ask it to avoid a specific road. Organic Map cannot.

Maybe the Murena version, but the official one is stock android with all its trackers.

An unstoppable fuck colliding with an unmovable fuck.

Removed the parental advice part. I didn’t want to be an asshole, believe me.

To me it looks like you don’t have enough power, either on the Pi4 side to decode, or the mini-pc to encode.

As often with IBM, everything is proprietary 😅

Too bad it is nVidia only, I only got AMD cards.

Too bad it is nVidia only.

You could run a WebDAV server, like Nextcloud.

On windows it supports thin sync (meaning that it keep a reference to the file instead of the whole file), on Linux not yet, as it is still in alpha (but you can just connect it as a remote disk and be done with it. That’s how I do with mines).

If you don’t want the whole Nextcloud, there are standalone cli WebDAV servers.

The budget is way too low imo.

You could repurpose an old workstation, bought dirt cheap on eBay if you are lucky, but even then you’ll have to get yourself an HDD, maybe multiple of them if you want to have data redundancy.

For anything new your best bet is a 2 bay ready made NAS, but you’ll have to invest around 300€ for the cheapest one.

Yeah, for that price you won’t find anything new. For illustration, when I bought a new Athlon 3000G, which was the very lower CPU on their AM4 offering, it was at 55€ without anything else.

Core or Scale ?

With encrypted backups of course.

I never had any problems for almost 10 years outside of a few major outages (that every provider has from time to time).

• My first TrueNAS homelab was based on an Athlon 3000G and 16GB of RAM. And I ran Nextcloud, Home Assistant, and multiple other services with globaly no ptoblem. Your configuration should be OK.
• It’d be easier to stick to Truecharts. But I can’t tell for community plugins, never tried them.
• Do not use that 1To SSD as boot drive, it won’t improve anything over the 250GB SSD. Use the later, maybe buy a second one to make it redundant. Then use the 1 TB SSD for an Apps pool, and the HDD as a single RaidZ2 array for all your important datas.
