I like your thoughts on runtime and recharge time.
That four hour limit really outs things into perspective for someone just starting out. Most people don’t understand the constraints at first.
I believe mailbox.org is all renewable, and I’m pretty sure it’s solar.
But you need a massive battery bank to run stuff, batteries have a limited lifespan (especially the crap used in a UPS).
It’s not cheap, you generally want to overbuild everything, and there are ongoing costs (hardware failures, batteries, etc).
But it can be done. Just have to do the math for your max power draw, then how much uptime you need determines the size of your battery bank and number of panels (which is influenced by how much sun you get/how consistent it is). You need enough panels to run your system and charge batteries, given the limitations of sun availability.
Wow, install Tailscale or Wireguard and you’ve got a killer remote support solution.
Weird people would downvote this. I usually don’t care (still don’t, lol) but someone downvoted the idea of installing a mesh VPN on this KVM, yet it’s already been done.
Not just Europe, everywhere. Look at all the breaches, every day.
Until those breaches cost companies serious money, they won’t do anything about it.
I dunno, laptops have gotten tremendously better - can run most of a day without power anymore. I certainly have charged my phone 3x as much as my laptop. And I already carry an external 10k Wh battery for my phone.
OP actually raises a good point about power consumption that I hadn’t considered in a while.
NeoBackup only works if rooted, unfortunately. Well, unfortunately users don’t have full control over iOS and Android without having to sidestep stuff.
Laptops are arguably potentially far more secure. Most mobile apps collect every bit of data they can (and have internet access for no reason) , and mobile devices have standardized ways of enabling it - how often other apps are launched, what other apps are installed, etc, etc. PC OS’s don’t have that stuff built in, and apps rarely have that kind of code. Plus they’re just easier to firewall (as much of a nuisance as it is to do. Hell, GCM was built to do most of this stuff.
Paid $150 for a Pixel 5. Pixel 7 is $200.
I don’t waste money on new phones, or new cars.

(Just an FYI, I’m guessing autoincorrect got you).
Great notes too, good point about the device name vs device ID.
Immich is part of FUTO now? Great, congrats!
I look forward to implementing it on my new home box.
Overused? According to who?
Newpipe breaks often. It’s why I switched to Grayjay, it just works.
Though I do prefer Newpipe.
This is the answer.
Never mix business with personal on devices. That’s bad for both.
Best part with JMP is SMS is piped into XMPP/JABBER. So you’re no longer tied to a phone/Sim card for sms.
Oh, no, I can’t use the McDonald’s app!
Can’t remember the last time I spent money on McDonald’s over priced crap.
If nothing else can you use the browser?
I’ve used Hermit for years to present websites like an app, and am using Native Alpha on my new phone.
Use a browser like Native Alpha or Hermit, which present a website like an app.
And if you use Bitwarden/Vaultwarden for your passwords, it can be pretty seamless.
Yep.
And there have been examples of camera disruptive devices that use IR and while it can work, it’s problematic and inconsistent.
Which is why adding Tailscale to this KVM is a killer solution
