how am I gonna go on in life ??? /s

Well, switched from check_mk to librenms this morning. and indeed, it’s a much better fit. Much more network oriented compared to many other tools.

Putin has a day off?

Are you kidding me? True, there is time involved. My biggest ‘sin’ right now is “home gallery” for it works on MY directory structure which I won’t give up.

The geoguessing game that hides in it is superb ! I’m still amazed with the images I’ve been able to locate. Sometimes 40 years back.

Power consumption is the 2nd thing i look for in my IT devices (first is “do I need internet/cloud services to run it” … Yes is an absolut disqualifier)

Nice post. Recognisable too. I have an old server from work at home, but came to the same conclusion: with that power consumption it’s no fun running it 24/7 at home.

Thnx! This looks like the way to go.

Bit broad question but Sounds like a nas can be a way to go. Read up on raid and think about your backup strategy first.

(I use a synology nas with 4Tb disk at home that backups to an offsite readynas with 4x 4tb disks in raid config and encryption)
