    UPS input load

  • Good question, how do I access the UPS logs? In TrueNAS (and in home assistant) I just see the measured values.

  • Ahaa, so what you are saying that me seeing the input load on UPS is not the cause of the measured power consumption but just a "symptom". That something (be it TrueNAS/rpi/switch) really draws more. How can I do a thorough analysis of what the devices do? Normally I check logs and htop and see they are just chilling. I check cpu, i/o and network and I thought that it should be pretty good indicator of if something is happening. Especially when its 6 Watts more thats like whole another rpi 😀

  • Same as above. The TP link that measure the power is plugged into the UPS not the other way around. The UPS is directly in the wall plug. So even if the UPS drawn 100 Watts it shouldn't show on the TP Link.

  • Truly nothing. I haven't set snapshots yet, I have TrueCloud backup but thats at midnignt. I have checked htop and there is virtually zero activity (same as when the power draw is 29 W). I have only two apps on truenas and they also didn't do any indexing or anything). As mentioned above the only difference that I spotted so far is the ups input load and the times of event start/end match perfectly in all cases (but then again UPS is powering the tp plug and on, not the other way around).

  • If you are gonna go for TrueNAS, try Storj with TrueNAS Cloud task. TrueNAS made a partnership with Storj and the price is very good. https://www.truenas.com/truecloud-backup/

    TlDr; The data is encrypted with restic and sent to Storj S3 storage that is further fragmenting it (and encrypting it too - so double encryption) into multiple pieces (with redundancy) and storing on other peoples TrueNASes (you can also provide your unused space btw and gain some small money back).

    I am in process of setting this up (already run a working test backup) and I didn't find anything that's better than this integrated solution. Very cool!

  • I am in the same situation, looking how to use my 1st pi. I am already using AdGuard, Nginx and home assistant on my pi4, so I am looking for something more niche but very cool 😀

  • I did just that. I also put ssd to a flopy disk bay and I screwed one drive on the outside of the case 😀 works like a charm.

  • True, but... a) doesn't mean their predictions are accurate and b) even if it was true, you should do the boycott because if the fact that it "doesn't matter" makes you not boycotting its kinda self fulfilling prophecy. Always, and I really mean ALWAYS, wherever there is this kind of "realization" you still have to proceed because otherwise there is no chance for change.

  • Sure, but this was officially announced, and it seems Nintendo is also thinking about it, so basically 3 pout of 4 consoles on the market. Its like phone operators, if one increase prices, the others do not see it as an edge to keep their prices, rather they also increase prices, because money. They are basically cartels, but a tacit one.

  • Why I recommend Proton is because it works well on Linux. Maybe the app is not as nice but it works well enough for me to recommend. But you are way too biased now to the point that you are claiming that proton is a honeypot. Anything you say after that means absolutely nothing.

    Even despite of that I have read your angry post and man:

    If you use windows over linux (or BSD): you do not care about your privacy.

    Or you have to use it at work. Or you have some critical application that you can not run on linux. Or you are not technical enough to switch to linux (believe it or not, many people never installed an OS, even if its dead simple, for some people its different world).

    Proton’s entire ecosystem prioritizes windows at this current time. Full stop.

    So what. You know how much money development costs. Proton is fully funded by their users/customers. If they focus on Linux they die.

    therefore if you buy into proton’s ecosystem, lured in by the advertising of “privacy”

    Privacy is privacy. If its e2e encrypted including most viable metadata its private. There are no quotes around that. Privacy is also a scale, not all or nothing. Because some people tell you the latter, you have then a feeling like there is no point. Your statements are essentially indirectly causing people not wanting to do even a smallest improvement in their privacy.

    you are incentivized to remain on Windows, because the experience you are paying for is better there, while thinking you have privacy

    If you are thinking about privacy to the point of leaving gmail and using protonmail or using vpn there is a chance that eventually you switch to linux. And even if not. You increased your privacy. Users that are on windows might never think about privacy if the first step would be as huge as OS change.

    honeypot

    You obviously do not know what honeypot means.

    That’s why in my opinion, proton doesn’t give a shit about their users privacy

    Well everyone is entitled to an opinion, even if its a wrong opinion based on their own bias.

    i’m done trying to help people in this thread

    Dismissing valid options is not helping.

  • I wish more people felt like this (any nationality really).

  • If you think that, you obviously do not understand Proton's mission. I am a Linux user and I am a bit sour about their Linux support, but I chose them specifically knowing what I am getting into. They want the privacy to be available to as many people as possible. And you don't do that with targeting mainly Linux users who are already very privacy conscious. If you want to spread some idea, you don't go to a place where everybody already knows about it. And why do I use Proton then? Because its easy for my friends and family to use Proton. Its easier to show them the more private choices without compromise on their sides. And I am able to slowly push them further and further even beyond Proton.

    So if you made a wrong, uninformed decision, don't take it out on Proton. That's on you.

  • I think he's just angry at Proton based on his other posts.

  • I tried both on Linux (for extended period of time) and both are a good choice.

  • You are welcome. 😀

    The reason why I wrote how to get there not what is there is that my prices are in CZK I have no idea if they have it priced same only based on exchange rate or based on economic strength of local currencies...

  • Yes, I agree, your version is the best. Kupujte v Evropě 😊

  • Czech: Koupit evropsky (Koupit evropsky)

    I don't think that's quite right. This means more like "buy (how?) european (style)" While we want to rather say "buy (what?) european (product), right? Because if it's the "how" well you can buy like european but that doesn't mean you buy european products. So I would translate it like Kupovat evropské (produkty)
