Size right for your setup and risk tolerance. Just know every outage can come with data loss. Most do not, but it is not a guarantee.

I hate having to run my own backups. That’s been a massively hidden cost behind self hosting that I did not originally account for. Anything sufficiently robust is expensive and anything cheap is unreliable (at least at the scales of data I have, 4k+ RAW videos and photos are massive).

Your pi is idling at 4w? That seems quite high. Does it have a nvme drive attached or something?

UPS systems are generally configured for 90 minutes of operation, depending on the criticality of the system they’re connected to. The best ones are programable and will actually send graceful shutdown signals (when configured to do so) to your server cluster to prevent data loss that occurs during system blackouts. You can emulate this behavior on your laptop with a script that checks battery% every 10-15 minutes, sending a shutdown signal if it falls below a treshhold you set.

You’re mistaken. Laptop cells do not behave in this way or use LiPo chemistries. They’re Lion chems and behave entirely different.

Some won’t boot without a detectable battery cell. Depends entirely on the laptop in question what the best course of action is. Most newer bios handle charge profiles automatically and will prevent ac related damage but it’s all dependant on how they were designed/made.

Laptops run on “burst” computing profiles in a lot of engineering situations, occasionally this applies to both the thermal design (runaway heatsoak if used at full tilt) but also battery design. I’ve seen several machines that will dip into their battery in addition to the charger to boost performance and dump wattage into the chips beyond what would be available from the adapter alone. I don’t necessarily think it’s good design, but modern battery chems don’t really give a shit about up/down momentary charge cycles. Also the Chem they’re using is not LiPo based as that chemistry while allowing for significant amperage to be drawn, is not stable enough for a laptop that is generally expected not to ignite.

Hey kid… You wanna self host an api call? 😈

You can run a service on the same port with less processing overhead than a reverse proxy. Additionally it provides you some benefit in domain separation. For $25 I’d pick up one or two, couldn’t hurt to have in the pocket and there are only so many of them afterall.

Did you ever resolve this? I’m curious what it was.

The server caches your device ID at some point I believe, although I’m not a jellyfin developer so you’d need to look into their documentation for confirmation if you don’t already know yourself.

🤔 it’s probably something cache related or due to a clock offset then. Beyond that I’m not sure what I would investigate.

So there’s a change regarding reverse proxies in one of the recent updates that requires you to specify the approved ip of the reverse proxy. Are you using one? If so, it could be this.

It’s likely done in an automated way by the same equipment that tests the hardware, so costs are probably more along the lines of a few fractions of a penny, and imo shipping any device without an os at all is a bit silly as they could very likely end up in the hands of someone without the capability or equipment to image them.

Indexing websites adds significant traffic to those sites. It’s not a good idea for the health of the internet for everyone to be Indexing, maybe you should search for a precompiled index you can train the lmm on and distribute it daily. Or do the crawling yourself and distribute that index.
