Could be an interesting project tough, will definitely think about that. Not top priority, but why not since the hardware its free?
Thanks!
Both the 2060 and the 1060 don't support AV1 either way, so I guess its pointless to me.
Cool idea!
Yeah look like a lot... Probably not worth it.
Not depend on a specific corporation to access all your services for one.
A reverse proxy (I use nginx) will let you centralize certificates and allow the use of subdomains easily, without depending from a specific service provider like cloudflare.
Looks like you are are a lucky american with access to a real IP address, good for you, a luxury nowadays where CG-NAT is common place everywhere.
Opening a port is not even possible where I live.
I am not using either. Sync via syncthing and web interface via Photo view. More basic, but fits my bill.
I manually sort synched photos into folders for photoview to pick them up.
Just food for thoughts.
I have been far luckier than that all my life, I never had a drive fail on me, and I keep them a looong time.
Maybe once, 20 years ago, a drive failed? Can't really remember, but probably it did happen. Being on a Linux software RAID 1, just remove and plug a new drive, run an attach command and forget.
I have 4 6Tb HDDs which I got new from work: been running 24/7 for the last 6 years.
The 4Tb drives they replaced where running for the previous 10 years (bought new as well) and are still in a drawer, got replaced only for the opportunity to upgrade to 6tb.
If your refurbished last only 4 years, to be that is not a positive gain, you lost money. New drives should last 10 years in my personal (and debatable) experience. But I think those drives you bought will last more than 4 years.
Restic or Borg. For restic I use the great Backrest web GUI.
I mounted an USB drive to one of my OpenWRT access points and backup on that one.
Rclone or fuse can mount/access Google Drive and can be used as back end for your backup choice.
Simplest backup ever: restic/Borg on a folder on the same PC. Not very recommendable, but indeed a good starting point.
Zfs/brtfs seems a complex solution for a simple problem. True is that once you start eating you get hungrier so maybe worthwhile.
Their box is not going to play those videos, so AV1 is game.
Anyway software playback of AV1 is a thing, and works, you know.
Crappy (30-40mbit/sec) but uncapped FTTC here, plus 5G FVA at 300mbit/sec but 1Tb monthly cap here.
Combining both and separating heavy traffic (fucking fortnite and many steam big games) on the crappy uncapoed, and arr'ing too, leaves tons of data for high speed anything.
Total cost? 22€ + 24€ = 46€/month, no surprises. A lot more expensive than having fiber indeed, but I am deep into the woods, so.
Ah, and when i go over my 1Tb data cap on the FVA, I get throttled to 6mbit/sec, nothing extra to pay.
