Seems like a good way to do it, would be fun to try that setup myself.

You don’t even need to manually keep your battery in the 20-80 range nowadays since almost every charge controller automatically monitors temperature and adjusts charging parameters to not damage the battery.

Sort of. The charge controller will limit charging current if too far outside normal temperature ranges. But it will still charge all the way to 100% unless you manually limit that with the settings on your device.

Heck, lithium ion batteries nowadays last longest the longer they’re plugged in.

That's actually incorrect, charging a Li-ion battery to 100% is significantly worse for it than charging to 80%, and keeping it at 100% plugged in is even worse. Which is why most devices will have the option to stop charging at 80% or near there instead of going all the way to 100%.

Charging while warm is also much worse than charging below 50 degrees F or so.

It should never be needed, even when replacing the battery as that data is part of the BMS.

Calibration was a thing like 25 years ago with the awful NiCD/NiMH batteries as I remember.

Yeah matrix is even worse than discord for usability and finding things.

Just use a normal publicly readable and indexed forum like has been common for the last 30+ years, I don't understand the obsession with chat clients for this purpose.

Without a ground there is nowhere for a surge to go, permanent damage is much more likely. Surge protectors or a UPS will not protect against surges at all without a ground.

There's also no ground so the chassis may have enough voltage on it to cause a shock if you touch it. This could also damage components as they are not grounded and touching things can introduce high voltage from static electricity which will have nowhere to go.

Additionally if you have ethernet connected to it the system may end up grounding itself through the ethernet cable, if the device at the other side does have a ground, which could cause issues.

So it basically just means you have a much higher chance of damaging the parts, or injuring someone touching things.

I don't understand, it says it's P2P, then it also says expose your local network to the internet securely. How can a P2P service expose anything to the internet without a gateway server somewhere?

Static IP address and Dynamic DNS can expose your network to attackers on the internet. With Holesail, you expose only the port you choose.

That's also how NAT works, you only expose the ports you choose.

Discord requires an account to even view a server, and the layout for forum support style questions is not there.

Something with a GPU that's good for LLMs would be best.

I imagine the overlap of people who use Snapchat and people who use Firefox is pretty small, they probably see such a small amount of users with Firefox and they just decided not to support it.

For important data I'd say utilize a data recovery company. IMO it' s too risky to try doing something yourself and making it worse.

Yeah that looks fine, odd.

I assume this is a pretty normal install of Ubuntu, and /var/lib/docker hasn't been messed with at all?

The question is, is there any way without having to format the hard drives with data?

MergerFS would let you pool drives without needing to set up RAID and format them.

Then add SnapRAID on top of that for parity.

Like, could there be a duplicate dB volume and when the stack gets restarted, docker picks one or the other?

I'm not sure that is possible. Once a service has a volume defined it'll use that unless you manually change it.

But if you don't have a volume defined, data won't persist when the service is updated.

If you're just using the compose stack given by Immich, then everything should be set up properly though.

You might be interested in this then, it's an app that uses AI to auto-tag saved bookmarks: https://hoarder.app/

Have you tried bookmarking things instead of leaving them open as tabs?

Immich has been great, no issues with any of their breaking updates so far.

I'm running several used ("renewed") enterprise SAS HDDs and enterprise SATA SSDs. They've been solid so far.

The HDDs came with about 30k hours each which is not bad at all, and the SSDs only had around 100 TB written out of the total 6.2 PB rating.

I'm not sure I would do used with standard consumer HDDs, they typically don't last as long and are likely abused a lot more in a desktop PC vs a datacenter server.

As always have proper backups in place, all drives fail eventually no matter where you buy them.

You mean run those programs directly on opnsense? I don't believe there is any way to do that.

No configuration is needed on opnsense to use them as normal on your devices though, so that's your best option.

IIRC it also stores your account password server side and stores your emails there too, it's literally just webmail.

It does have that.
