👋 The End of an Era 👋
- Fact: time is an irreplaceable critical resource, too often in short supply
- Resources: finite patience, focus, attention; infinite idgaf
Requisite Changes
- Core hardware from HomeLab will be moved to the colo this month (systems which matter)
- Likely much will be given to specific OSS projects for free, easiest for those local to Milpitas (colo)
Respond to thread or DM if you want to be updated with the inventory spreadsheet (partially complete, more to add)

I'm not judging anyone for not self-hosting. Self-hosting is not a panacea.
It would be a pain if both our primary and backup Internet connections went down, or there was a problem at A&A's end. If A&A ceased, I'd be rather stuck.
Everything would stop running if we have a power outage which outlasts my UPSs, before I could rush and start the generator.
If our home blew up, or burglars decided that the best thing to take was a massive locked rack full of aged cheap computers, it would cause me a problem while I reinstated things.
All of these are possibilities, and I do what I can to mitigate against them.
But at least it would just be *my* things.

ChatGPT is saying these devices would need a 2000 VA UPS with ≥1600 W output with options such as Eaton 9PX 2000 VA / 1800 W (9PX2000) or APC Easy UPS / Smart-UPS SRV 2000 VA / 1600 W... These are rather pricey!
Would a cheaper option be two more of the existing APC Back UPS 1600VA - BX1600MI..?

Thanks @madpilot @ivarch @DrRac27 @deb4sh @shertson
I have outgrown my existing APC Backup-UPS BX1600MI... This powers a NAS, a POE network switch and ten HP EliteDesk Minis...
The minis are all HP EliteDesk G2 Desktop Mini PC i5-6500, some have a 90W power supply, some 65W (spec: https://www.hp.com/sbso/hpinfo/newsroom/HPElitePC2015/AMSHPEliteDesk80035WG2DesktopMiniPCDatasheet.pdf)
How would I go about calculating the size of the UPS neeed?

Fellow homelabbers, especially those of you with mini PC clusters…:
Do you run a UPS?
How does one go about sizing?

Spent some time last night (re)setting up a logging stack of Prometheus, cAdvisor, and node exporter, all funneling into Grafana. Oof.
Moderate success getting the GoToSocial dashboard configured. There’s some changes in the latest GtS version that aren’t cooking.
And also I barely know what I am doing.

Pretty unimpressed that Velero encrypts volumes backups, but stores Secret resources in plain text on S3.
Am I missing a way to encrypt them?
