Do you mind including your budget in the OP? That would help others do their own calculations on electricity savings vs cost of hardware over time.

I’ve been monitoring this page https://gist.github.com/ironicbadger/5da9b321acbe6b6b53070437023b844d from https://yewtu.be/watch?v=ceUIUyZwchY

It’s showing some really interesting results for various processors and their efficiency while transcoding.

Is 60W a lot? I think a system with a few mechanical hard drives and fans will be at least half of that regardless of the processor used. Please correct me if I’m wrong.

Kobo with calibre-web sync has been great. Calibre-web github.

The lidarr way.

All the arrs, HA, pihole and a few smaller containers running on pi4. It was my gateway into the world of self hosting.

It might be easier to get suggestions if you go into more detail about the functionality you’re looking for, whether it replicates paid features of other clients or something else altogether.

I have it running in a docker container and the subnet setting seems to work. Also should mention it’s restricted to eth0.

You can set the subnet to be scanned in the arpnet settings. Restricting the scans to your devices subnet will get rid of all the extra docker IPs.

Here are a couple of links to help you get a better idea of what purelymail is like:

I’m in the process of trying it out for a year before I switch over fully. Have yet to run into any issues but I’m not a heavy email user.

Thank you for tempo, it has quickly become my default subsonic client.

Racknerd and lowendtalk have been around for a very long time. Racknerd has earned their good reputation over that time by being a stable provider with good support. The occasional great deal helps but none of it is too good to be true for anyone that has been following the vps space.

I’m on advanced billing and based on my usage patterns, it shouldn’t cost me more than $6-7/year. My main concern is it’s a one man operation. The FAQ talks about it but I don’t think anything has been put in place if the worst comes to pass.

If you search for vpshostingservice.co/cheapwindowsvps.com (same service) on lowendbox, you’ll find a range of opinions. For non-critical use, it seems fine to me. But if you think that deal is too good to be true, you should browse more of the holiday deal threads on there, especially on black friday. It’s a decent deal, just not exceptional.

I was using smtp2go, I’m now testing purelymail for my personal email needs. I don’t think the latter is suited for sending a large number of emails.

Pretty much followed it word for word to set up backups for my systems.

I’ve been using fivefilters for a long time and decided to give this a shot. It seems to do a decent job without some of the advanced options (ie: choosing # of items in the feed). I can’t really say which one would be a better option with my limited test. Hopefully someone else who has used both can chime in.

I was using feedbro until I noticed some bots started hitting my freshrss url that is not public. Switched to yarr for desktop and feeder for mobile.
