I’m new to docker and all of my shit stopped working recently. Just wouldn’t load. Took about a half hour to find out that old images were taking up about 63GB on my 100GB boot partition, resulting in it being completely full.

I added the command to prune 3 month old images to my update scripts.

Yeah, all the threads I came across when I looked into this were like “Self host everything! Except email” so I haven’t looked into it.

Thanks for the explainer, that makes a lot of sense.

They said kilawatt hours per how, not kilawatts per hour.

kWh/h = kW

The h can be cancelled, resulting in kW. They’re technically right, but kWh/h shouldn’t ever be used haha.

This is a factual but irrelevant statement

Watt hours makes sense to me. A watt hour is just a watt draw that runs for an hour, it’s right in the name.

Maybe you’ve just whooooshed me or something, I’ve never looked into Joules or why they’re better/worse.

Mate, kWh is a measure of electricity volume, like gallons is to liquid. Also, 100 watt hours would be a much more sensical way to say the same thing. What you’ve said in the title is like saying your server uses 1 gallon of water. It’s meaningless without a unit of time. Watts is a measure of current flow (pun intended), similar to a measurement like gallons per minute.

For example, if your server uses 100 watts for an hour it has used 100 watt hours of electricity. If your server uses 100 watts for 100 hours it has used 10000 watts of electricity, aka 10kwh.

My NAS uses about 60 watts at idle, and near 100w when it’s working on something. I use an old laptop for a plex server, it probably uses like 50 watts at idle and like 150 or 200 when streaming a 4k movie, I haven’t checked tbh. I did just acquire a BEEFY network switch that’s going to use 120 watts 24/7 though, so that’ll hurt the pocket book for sure. Soon all of my servers should be in the same place, with that network switch, so I’ll know exactly how much power it’s using.

I don’t know what you want man. I like automating stuff so I don’t have to worry about remembering as much.

I don’t keep track of my weight so I could be wrong here, but more/less than last time wouldn’t be very helpful as your weight can vary by the day. You need a trend over weeks to really see what’s going on. I definitely wouldn’t use pen/paper as it’s just too much data to organize and graph, but excel would be a reasonable alternative.

Sure, and I could also turn on/off my lights with a switch instead of having them come on when I get home, and turn off when I leave.

I’d guess automatic history tracking. Step on it every morning and it’ll automatically save your weight to Home Assistant or whatever so you can see if you’re gaining/losing over time.

This is the comment that’s going to make me try it. I love my spreadsheet, so I’ll have to see if this does everything that my spreadsheet does.

I also realized that I just didn’t need all of the functionality and such. In reality I just need a file sharing system akin to Google drive.

Recently? Email notifications for my crontab jobs. I learned that snapraid sync had been failing for 200 DAYS. I was thinking it’d be easy for some reason. It hasn’t been.

Overall though, Nextcloud was a nightmare and I just gave up.
