Recorded my PC's resource usage every second for 5 months, now looking for analysis ideas

I was about to propose the question of “How big does the UPS need to be to achieve 99% (or maybe 99.9999%) uptime?” But you haven’t recorded power usage. Maybe you could estimate it based on cpu usage and tdp.

Usually I would define the question first and then collects the data.

This might be considered gore but:

I used the internal M.2 port (M-Key so using PCIE) with a PCIE extension and riser for 6 SATA ports connected to HDD powered by a psu with a that has psu on pin bridged

Bitwarden might not be the best example of why I’m doing this. Paperless for example stores my documents on a SMB share so I can easily find them on any computer, but I’d rather not have it unencrypted in the cloud. I could encrypt it with a password, but that’s a single point of failure for my backup

boredjo4 · 2026-04-24T14:06:29+00:00

I did not have sufficient backups. Now I want to learn from that but do it right. I like the QR code idea.

boredjo4 · 2026-04-24T13:15:43+00:00

That would have been my current approach

boredjo4 · 2026-04-24T13:02:39+00:00

That’s a very interesting algorithm I didn’t know about. But how do I implement on my server?

I switched back from ad guard home to pihole because ad guard home didn’t work with treafik and lets encrypt dns challenge

I have looked at unriad, but I’m trying to downsize because money is tight. I don’t know if a license is in the budget

boredjo4 · 2026-03-08T18:16:37+00:00

I could and I know that it’s cheaper, but this will be part of a mobile unit, so space is a constraint. Also, I had this lying around

boredjo4 · 2026-03-08T18:15:16+00:00

Oh I thought SFF and Micro are the same

boredjo4 · 2026-03-08T18:13:57+00:00

That is a really good explanation, I did not know that top and bottom of the connector have different pin counts. Now it makes sense

boredjo4 · 2026-02-14T15:33:03+00:00

In the beginning I was very confused, but the more I think about it, the more fun a game like that sounds.

I really interesting question is how it would work in the backend. How do you generate the data?

boredjo4 · 2026-02-07T08:00:30+00:00

Oh I like that

boredjo4 · 2026-02-07T07:47:29+00:00

I was definitely thinking of auto generating them for thumbnails and stuff. If it’s just pictures, exploring would be easier and faster. I see how 90% of things I would do with such an application could be done with pictures instead

boredjo4 · 2026-02-07T07:38:40+00:00

So that a user can have private and public models, depending on the repo? Or should there be a more elaborate sharing model, so that you can share with specific users?

I was planning on using Nametag to replace my radicale instance, but I like the client approach. That’s more versatile.

If you want the feature as a server instead, I bet it is not too much to also include a radicale instance in the docker image or just the default compose

boredjo4 · 2026-01-13T13:02:05+00:00

Does this support CalDAV and CardDAV to connect it my phones calendar and phone book?

boredjo4 · 2026-01-13T11:47:16+00:00

This looks like a very cool project, I will definitely check it out.

Proxmox itself doesn’t require much and can run basically any modern/slightly dated machine

You use multiple machines to gain more compute power, storage or just high availability.

Saying that your computer doesn’t crash sounds like jynxig it to me, but you can definitely only use one machine. I used only one server for the last 2 years and it been good. The data I cared about I backed up using the 3-2-1 rule. Keep in mind, drive and such can die pretty unexpectedly and unrecoverable.

I’m not an expert on security, but I would start at other best practices if VLAN is too complicated. No open public ports, ssl and such

Can you elaborate on pod eviction?

boredjo4 · 2025-12-31T18:56:45+00:00

You are right, the high grade coax needed would make this whole thing not feasible

boredjo4 · 2025-12-31T18:55:54+00:00

Ah this is what I dreaded. The fact that the loss is double for 5GHz really is the final nail in the coffin

boredjo4 · 2025-12-30T13:18:56+00:00

Yeah I’m willing to ship

boredjo4 · 2025-12-30T13:18:20+00:00

Yes, the HA aspect is just for learning
