ZFS, btrfs, and other software RAID solutions can use mixed drives w/o much issue as long as you make sure that the capacities match or that you set the array up with the smallest disk size in mind.
Do not use hardware raid controllers. They provide no meaningful performance benefit over software raid and make data recovery much more difficultm(if not impossible) in the event of hardware failure.
I think shared hosting there is more meant to refer to the older “upload your files in webmin and we’ll shove them in /cgi-bin/ with everybody else’s”-style hosting where multiple users sites are running on a single instance of a webserver versus a VPS giving you a VM with SSH access?

I do find rclone to be a bit more comprehensible for that purpose, rsync always makes me feel like I’m in https://xkcd.com/1168/
Must have an android client,support mtls,support attachments and card layout.
ps: pls don’t suggest to save to local storage and sync that.
pls don’t suggest this app that cant do that but its great.
Anyways anyone aware of any app that can do that?
Nope, you seem to be well aware of the options available to you and there isn’t any one single app that meets all of your requirements, so unfortunately we can’t recommend anything at all to you, per your specific request.
You’ll have to build it yourself either from scratch or by taking one of the existing open-source tools and adding the missing functionality.
Looking forward to your pull requests!
Restic and borg are both sorta considered ‘standard’ for doing incremental backups beyond filesystem snapshotting.
I use restic and it automatically handles stuff like snapshotting, compression, deduplication, and encryption for you.
DigitalOcean and Vultr are options that “just work” and have reasonable options available in $5-6/month category.
DO is more established and I’ve used them for nearly 10 years now for a $6/mo VPS and for managing DNS for my domains. Vultr has some much closer datacenter options if you happen to be in the southeast US, rather than basically just covering California and NYC like DO does.
What CPU governor are you using? I saved about 40W idle powerdraw switching to powersave vs the default on a Ryzen 9 3900X.
125W (Less than $15/month) or so for
I generally leave
powerManagement.cpuFreqGovernor = "powersave"
in my Nix config as well, which saves about 40W ($4/mo or so) for my typical load as best as I can tell, and I disable it if I’m doing bulk data processing on a time crunch.
My partner and I use a git repository on our self-hosted gitea instance for household management.
Issue tracker and kanban boards for task management, wiki for documentation, and some infrastructure components are version controlled in the repo itself. You could almost certainly get away with just the issue tracker.
Home Assistant (also self-hosted) provides the ability to easily and automatically create issues based on schedules and sensor data, like creating a git issue when when weather conditions tomorrow may necessitate checking this afternoon that nothing gets left out in the rain.
Matrix (also self-hosted) lets Gitea and Home Assistant bully us into remembering to do things we might have forgotten. (Send a second notification if the washer finished 15 minutes ago, but the dryer never started)
It’s been fantastic being able to create git issues for honey-dos as well as having the automations for creating issues for recurring tasks. “Hey we need to take X to the vet for Y sometime next week” “Oh yeah, can you go ahead and put in a ticket?” And vice versa.
what does industry do when they need to automate provisioning of thousands of devices for POS, retail, barcode scanning, delivery drivers, etc.
MDM doesn’t help with the kind of stuff OP is trying to automate, but it does usually cover most business use cases and if you need more than that, you generally either have a contract to get the manufacturer to do it for you or just put what you need into the org-specific superapp you already have to have.
Oh nice a nicely-formatted list of reasons I don’t switch phones more frequently than once every 5 years: I loathe setting them up as specifically as I want them to behave
Still a few Ubuntu Server stragglers here and there, but it works quite well as long as you keep your base config fairly lean and push the complexity into the containers.
Documentation tends to be either good or nonexistent depending on what you’re doing, so for anything beyond standard configuration but it can usually be pieced together from ArchWiki and the systemd docs.
All in all, powerful and repeatable (and a lot less tedious than Ansible, etc), but perhaps not super beginner-friendly once you start getting into the weeds. Ubuntu Server is just better documented and supported if you need something super quick and easy.
NextCloud main use is file synchronization
Is it? Interesting. I don’t think I’ve ever even considered using it for that purpose.
I mostly use it as an easily web-accessible interface for a variety of unified productivity and organization software (file upload/download, office suite, notes, calendar, etc), with easy ability to do stuff like create a password-protected shared folders of pictures/documents I can easily share with friends and family who don’t have accounts so they can upload/download/organize/edit files with me and each other from a browser without having to install additional software on client devices.
Which I’m not sure I get the popular mentioning of since it seems to serve a very different purpose than NextCloud does, like not even similar niches.
Nothing against it, of course, it just doesn’t feel like an ‘alternative’ to NC.
I would strongly suggest not using 900GB 10kRPM drives (and especially not 10 of them) in [current year] when brand-new 8TB hard drives cost $120, and 14+TB recertified drives aren’t much more than that. The power costs of 7 more drives than you need for the capacity definitely add up over several years of runtime.
Washing machine is a threshold sensor in Home Assistant on the power draw entity on a sonoff s31 smart outlet flashed w/ ESPHome.
Dryer is another threshold sensor on a current clamp connected to an ESP32 running ESPHome.
Still holding onto my Samsung Galaxy Note9
It has an excellent built-in stylus with a headphone jack and expandable storage to boot. Nothing that’s come out since feels like an upgrade, only various sidegrades.
We’ve both got a software dev background, so it wasn’t a particularly difficult solution to sell, as soon as we came up with it it was very much a “oh duh, why didn’t one of us think of that way earlier”
What happens if the NAS dies though? What does recovery look like?
Is it possible to recover the data from the drives without Synology’s OS? If so what is that process and how difficult is it to do correctly?
I know that with ZFS, recovery is independent of vendor OS and/or hardware, so if the hardware dies you can just throw the drives into any COTS system with enough ports, but I’m genuinely unsure if that is the case for Synology or not.
