What software did you use to make this diagram?

When I click on the link YouTube says that the video is not available. But this Link works.

For my workstation I'm using a small script that packs and compresses all relevant directories with tar once a week. The resulting file is then copied to a local backup drive and to my NAS. An encrypted version of that file is sent to an offsite VPS.

For my selfhosted services (on Proxmox) I'm using ProxmoxBackupServer.

Riecht ein bisschen komisch und in einigen Becken ist die Wasserqualität nicht so gut...

Ansonsten 5/7

I've purposely build that NAS around two or three years ago. It's a Gigabyte B360M D3H mainboard, Intel Pentium Gold G5400 and 16GB of the cheapest RAM I could find. An Adaptec 71605 card provides SAS/SATA connections for up to 16 drives and a Mellanox Connect-X3 connects my NAS via 10Gbit/s to my network. The case is an Inter-Tech IPC 4U-4424 . It has 24 hot swap bays. But I would not recommend it because the backplane is terrible. Four or five slots are not working. Sometimes, when I re-insert a drive, it is not detected.

Using cheap RAM bit me in the ass last year as one of the RAM sticks started to fail. I didn't notice that there is a problem with the RAM at first. Only when I observed that one of my scripts was not working I started to investigate the problem. Turns out that one of the RAM sticks failed. Re-inserting the stick did not resolve the problem so I replaced all sticks with old Crucial RAM I had laying around. Some files that I transfered to the NAS during that time period are corrupt. In the future I won't use cheap RAM anymore and I'm also currently planning to replace the mainboard and CPU with something that supportes ECC RAM so that I can be notified when on of the sticks starts to fail.

Here are some pics from building the NAS

I like your setup.

Thanks :)

Is your nas on Ext4?

Yes, all HDDs in my NAS are formatted with EXT4. I don't use RAID because there are mostly static files stored there and the drives are configured to spin down after 30 minutes of inactivity.

MD1200 DAS

How loud are those? I've heard that the Dell PowerVault DAS arrays are quite loud.

I believe I could reduce the power consumption by ~50W-60W by replacing the R730 with a modern "consumer" mainboard + CPU. But I need two power supplies (I had some issues a few months ago with my UPS) and iDRAC/IPMI is so convenient that I don't want to miss it anymore.

I'm also currently searching for something power efficient to replace the Pentium in my NAS. Reason for that are some problems with bad RAM a year ago. ECC RAM would be nice to have, so that I can be notified when a RAM stick goes bad. I currently do not know for how long the old RAM stick was bad and which files may be corrupted because of that (I do not use a checksumming file system such as ZFS or BTRFS on my NAS).

My rack currently consumes about 300W. This includes the following hardware:

• Dell PowerEdge R730 with 128GB RAM, 1x E5-2630 v3 (the second socket is unpopulated), 5x HDD and 4x SSD
• MikroTik CRS309-1G-8S+ (8 port 10Gbit/s switch)
• MikroTik CRS326-24G-2S+ (24 port 1Gbit/s switch)
• MikroTik RB5009UPr (Router)
• Whitebox NAS with Intel Pentium Gold G5400, 16GB RAM, Adaptec RAID controller in IT mode, 19x HDD and one SSD

You can also download the *.vsix file of the desired extension from either Github or Microsoft's extension marketplace and install it manually by clicking on "Install from VSIX" in the Extensions menu.

This obviously doesn't solve the update problem and it is also questionable if this is in terms with the "Microsoft Terms of Use" of the extension.

In der Readme auf Github gibt es einen Abschnitt, der die Unterschiede erläutert.

Pi-Hole funktioniert genauso gut. Das habe ich früher auch verwendet. Mir fehlte damals allerdings Unterstützung für DNS-over-TLS, als ich meinen Upstream-DNS-Server wechseln und auch gleich DNS-over-TLS einsetzen wollte. Das geht mit Pi-Hole sicherlich auch. Allerdings bin ich faul und wollte das alles möglichst einfach eingerichtet haben :P

Meine wichtigsten Apps für Android:

• Nextcloud synchronisiert automatisch die Bilder, die ich mit dem Smartphone aufnehme, mit meiner Nextcloud-Instanz.
• DAVx⁵ synchronisiert Termine und Kontakte mit meiner Nextcloud-Instanz.
• Gadgetbridge um die (Schritt-)Daten von meinem Mi Smart Band 4 herunterzuladen
• Tachiyomi Manga-Reader
• WireGuard zum Verbinden mit meinem WireGuard-VPN. In meinem Heimnetz läuft AdGuard Home als DNS-Werbeblocker. Wenn ich per WireGuard mit meinem Heimnetz verbunden bin, brauche ich deswegen keinen Werbeblocker auf dem Smartphone.
• OpenTracks zum Tracken meiner Lauf-Routen. Früher habe ich von Google die App "MyTracks" verwendet. Wie vieles von Google wurde die dann eines Tages eingestampft. OpenTracks ist an das Design von "MyTracks" angelehnt und bedient sich genauso.
• Element Messenger-App
• KeePassDX Passwort-Manager. Die Passwort-Datenbank liegt in der Netxtcloud.
• Poweramp Musikplayer. Hat viele Funktionen.
• K-9 Mail App für E-Mails

StreetComplete sieht interessant aus. Das werde ich mal ausprobieren. Dann habe ich mal einen Grund, das Haus zu verlassen :D
