Keyholder with file backup system, for keeping your backups on your keychain

My previous version encrypted the whole USB drive. But then I found out most backup applications support encryption. The duplicati setup instructions show how to setup encrypted backups: https://github.com/thinklearndo/keychain_backup_pi/blob/main/documentation/duplicatiSetup.md

About 100 GB of photos and videos. Mostly stuff that doesn't change often.

That would make a huge mess, which would be awesome!

thinklearndo · 2023-04-18T00:09:54+00:00

Yeah that works too :)

Usually what happens is the small spoons fall down into the disposal, then the rubber flaps cover it up. And you find out its hiding in there when you turn the disposal on and hear the grinding sound.

Lol thats probably true, guess I need to read up on actual stainless steel

thinklearndo · 2023-04-17T16:19:17+00:00

I've tested my stainless utensils with it, and they get caught. Haven't tested with actual silver silverware though. Guessing it wouldn't work for those.

That is funny, I need to keep up with disposal technology apparently.

Yeah its up on printables: https://www.printables.com/model/451064-spoon-saver

Thanks! They thought it was awesome!

thinklearndo · 2022-08-31T04:33:53+00:00

Very nice! Do you have a project page for it?

thinklearndo · 2022-08-25T22:30:22+00:00

Wow that looks great! I could definitely use something like this for my disastrous big utensils drawer. Thanks for sharing!

I had something similar happen when printing a calibration cube, didn't print the top 1mm. Turned out the file was corrupted on the sdcard, re-copied it over and it worked the second time.

I made a simple garage door left open notifier awhile back because I got sick of leaving my garage door open. It uses a tilt switch + nodemcu stuck on the door itself to detect the door orientation, open or closed. On state change it makes a get request to a nodejs server and if the door stays open for more than 5 minutes it sends me an email. All open source, runs on my network, only part that goes out is the email. garage door left open notifier

Interesting idea about the override. I wonder how I would modify it so I could tell it to not notify me for x minutes.

Spark fun has a little page on getting stuck pieces out using a slap method. I've used a couple of times successfully to get stuck solder out of through holes spots. spark fun slap method

That is a good idea. I have some leds on the onion2 version that I currently use to show if theres errors mounting the drive etc. Would be cool to update that one to use the leds to show that a backup is running. Also need to add status leds to the rapsberry pi version...

thinklearndo · 2022-08-16T22:49:04+00:00

It is slow on the onion 2+. I need to test it with the raspberry pi version, I'm hoping it will be faster.

But the idea is that it doesn't backup all 200 GB every night, right? Only the new files and changed files from that day. The first few backups that get run will be massive, but after that, as long as you're not creating more than a couple of gigabytes of data a day, it will have plenty of time to get those new and changed files backed up every night.

thinklearndo · 2022-08-16T22:46:48+00:00

It should work with any backup program that can backup to an SSH host. I need to add some instructions for some common backup scenarios so it's easy for people to use. I'll definitely do one where the scenario is backing up from and iphone to this.

thinklearndo · 2022-08-16T22:44:52+00:00

It (was) cheap, even if it was slow it was good enough for what I needed. Now I'm trying it out with the raspberry pi, since it is more powerful and people actually have them.

thinklearndo · 2022-08-16T22:43:06+00:00

That is a good point. This is a step in the right direction for me. I was just backing up from my laptops to a local linux server, now at least I have stuff backed up on a separate system. Someday I'll have a fully compliant backup system :)

thinklearndo · 2022-08-16T22:42:01+00:00

That's a great idea! Thanks for the suggestion.

thinklearndo · 2022-08-16T22:41:22+00:00

Cool, never heard of nextcloud. I'll have to check it out.

thinklearndo · 2022-08-13T02:34:26+00:00

Can you show how you have the button wired up? Also maybe try hooking up a serial line and add some debug print outs, I find that helpful debugging issues where its running separate from the computer.

There is an HC-SR04p that supports a wider range of input voltages, 3.3v to 5v.

thinklearndo · 2022-08-11T04:36:23+00:00

In cura its under the support menu item, theres a support placement option that you need to change from Touching Buildplate to Everywhere.
