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?

I use Ansible for management, I just want to see nice graphs and maybe get alerts when things go south. Thanks for recommendation.

Sonoffs are usually safe.
