One note,

I used a raid with WD 8 TB drives, and when a drive failed we bought a Seagate Ironwolf Pro 8 TB to replace it.

The NAS wouldn't accept it into the raid, because it had fewer bytes!

We found a workaround by tweaking partition sizes for that particular raid, but it caught me by surprise.

this was mdadm, not sure if zfs has some awareness to slightly differences in sizes between hdd models

I just checked my immich lxc, ram usage fluctuate with plateaus of about 1 GiB, and some spikes up to 1.5 GiB.

Two users, 100+ GiB of images and videos

I organized paperless in the beginning but not so much anymore.

I have given it access to my email inbox and to add attachments automatically. I can then search for receipts and more without having done the work to import it manually

it works relatively well. for sites and services that actually include pdf receipts

Proxmox

I went from a server distro (ubuntu server i think) to Proxmox and it was a very nice upgrade. Leave the core system alone and put your "mess" in LXC containers and VMs. When you know what you want, set up a new one with the good config, and delete the old one whem you are confident you no longer need it.

How do you guys test your backups?

I have restored my proxmox setup from backup and it worked, but that is not something I do on regular basis.

I have from time to time done spot checks that certain files are working.

Most of the time I rely on the verification done by proxmox backup server..

I do it manually. update the container version and docker pull and run

I have reduced the number of containers to ones i actually use, so it is manageable.

i use v2 instead of v2.1.0 docker container tags if the provider don't make too many bleeding edge changes between updates

Nice to see CalDAV is on the roadmap. I will wait for that before trying it out, as it is the cornerstone for my system today (radicale and tasks.org)

When did you try mailbox.org last? they improved 2FA this year. It is now TOTP + possibility to make application passwords. Finally works great!

Mostly 9Kings. One round is typically 20 mins, which suits me

Same here 🙂 Last 3 times, things have broken because zfs raid on usb-connected DAS is not a great idea 😅😅

Even though Level1Tech said it works 😶🫣 https://youtu.be/GmQdlLCw-5k from 11:11 . Maybe terramaster use bad usb chipset.

I have just reduced the number of services to the couple I actually use, which I mostly remember exist. I have my own domain, so each service is service.mydomain.tld

I see 🙂

I used emacs org-mode before. Can do a lot of stuff on PC, but mobile experience was lacking. And learning curve is crazy

I am currently testing out logseq + syncthing. I don't reorder things much anymore though

Good luck!
