I’m using Uptime Kuma myself can’t recommend it enough for simple use cases like this!

It has some amazing caching, but that doesn’t mean a backup is not necessary or recommended.

Why Windows VM? Wouldn’t an Android VM be more reasonable?

Just tried it out, I don’t see a reason why it would not work. Sure, some things don’t apply to bicycles (fuel, taxes), but things like repairs, maintenance and reminders could be nice for you.

I have not tried it out yet. But my current car tracker works fine with an electric bike.

Thanks to your post, I just found lubelog. Has anyone tried it out? I’m really not happy with my current choice for vehicle tracking.

The best depends in what you need… What are your requirements in terms of capacity, speed and redundancy?

You bought a device with just one single USB 2.0 port and ask for the ideal storage option?

I could be wrong, but you’re probably limited to one external HDD (~20 TB) and one micro SD card (1 TB).

True. Some probably have many alternative or throwaways…

The Fediverse is by design affected by inflated numbers. If one user uses three different services, the user is counted three times. However, for the Fediverse it doesn’t really matter - that number of total users is just as irrelevant like the total number of used email addresses.

The idea reminds me of guacamole, but your project is likely less resource intensive as it does not require a VM.

For me, it is easier than smoking smokeping. But smokeping offers more details by pinging the same host 20 times each run. This can help to discover packet loss.

I don’t remember, probably not. I skipped most of the optional addons like phpmemcache.

Why bother with certificate rotation in a homelab environment? You could issue certificates for three years and just call it a day.

Personally, I have experience with Microsoft Certificate Services, which works pretty well out of the box and is also quite well supported. But you need a Windows Server for it.

I have been selfhosting Nextcloud now for five years (never tried selfhosting Owncloud). And you are right with the performance observation (I never managed higher upload speeds than 30 MB/second), the key difference is the application support.

One thing that bothered me for years is how to find photos you took a while ago. While Google and Apple offer smart features, with my selfhosted setup I was always depending on the date as only way to find photos.

The memories app for Nextcloud is a real game changer. Let me show you some of the features.

📸 Timeline: Sort photos and videos by date taken, parsed from Exif data. ⏪ Rewind: Jump to any time in the past instantly and relive your memories. 🤖 AI Tagging: Group photos by people and objects, powered by recognize and facerecognition. 🖼️ Albums: Create albums to group photos and videos together. Then share these albums with others. 🗺️ Map: View your photos on a map, tagged with accurate reverse geocoding.

There are many more apps, from simple tools to complete office environments. For me, this is the reason why I will continue using Nextcloud for the foreseeable future.

I personally have used the cheap ssd prices this year to buy a 4 TB ssd for my NAS. Reasons for this decision include physical space, energy consumption and noise.

However, the backup for my NAS is on a HDD.

Badly. Nextcloud is a very active project with many plugins and integrations. You can even integrate a mail system and AI image tagging, chat and video calls.

Owncloud focussed more on the enterprise sector and less on fancy features. Definitely the more stable product (but not only in the positive sense).

Ooops, I didn’t watch to the end, only to the part where there was so much fume that I could almost smell it :D

I don’t think you can reduce air pollution by cooking sous vide. After the sous vide part, the food is probably grilled and then you have all the smoke again. See an example in this short video: Steak sous vide

I didn’t know that stoves with temperature sensors exist. That sounds like a really useful feature.
