Ah, gotcha.

Is there like a list where you can enter your server so that other people use it as an ntp server? Or how did you advertise it to have 2800 requests flooding in?

I have similar specs and cost with ionos

It says posted 4 days ago, updated yesterday.

For most stuff the pi4 is also enough. Jellyfin (no transcoding) works fine on mine. It takes a bit to generate the chapter images and the timeline peek images when ingesting a new movie, but I’ve never had any issues with playback.

Wait what? Do I understand that correctly? You have a raspberry pi with a direct network connection to an atomic clock? That’s so awesome!

A basic image is really easy. It’s basically just

Dockerfile

FROM debian  # start with a minimal Linux system. There are probably better options than debian. Some images are made especially for docker (i.e. very minimal and light weight). 
RUN apt install dependencies  # do what ever you need to get your app running. 
RUN echo "options and stuff" >> /etc/a/config/file  # you can also edit system files
COPY . /app  # copy your project into the docker container.
EXPOSE 8080  # doesn't actually do anything, but documents where the app will be listening
CMD server-binary run /app/main.php  # I have actually no idea how php server stuff works

(Docs https://docs.docker.com/reference/dockerfile/)

Then people can run your project with docker.

Edit: checking the readme some small changes would be required. Config.php should read in environment variables and the DB init SQL should be run automatically somehow.

Maybe consider paperless-ngx.

Its primary purpose is document management, but you can easily upload receipts and pictures as well. I use paperless-mobile to interact with my instance.

Nice

Only host what you need.

It depends if underpowered means “too slow” for you, or “slow”. I would consider the meaning more similar to “too slow”, i.e. I think the reference point matters. Therefore for me the pi is not underpowered, just low powered. [Edit: to keep the discussion on track, I would therefore consider the pi “good enough”, which was the original claim in the second level comment]

Of course in terms of absolute numbers the pi has not a lot of processing power.

It entirely depends on what you want to do with it. So calling it underpowered is not a statement that can be made in general.

I have a pi4, 4GB. And running off of an SSD (connected via SATA to usb adapter). Sorry, forgot to specify.

Even slower would still be worth it IMO, digital document management is just so much better than keeping multiple folders of paper organized. Also I can access all my paperwork from anywhere, because the pi and my phone are both in my wireguard VPN network.

About a minute, 1:30 maybe (edit: per page on a pi4). I use an app to upload jpegs though, I don’t have a normal scanner at the moment. The higher quality scan and smaller file size may make some steps of the process quicker (no need for alignment and color correction for example) if you use a normal, proper scanner.

It doesn’t matter though. When I get home and see I got a letter I scan it and by the time I drank something, put away my clothes and stuff i had with me, the pi is done and I can edit the metadata in the web ui.

You should get a scsi enabled adapter though, otherwise you may have to disable it in the kernel boot settings. And if you forget that it will run at like kbit/s.

I have a vps for 2€/month. It’s not a powerful machine, but easily enough to host wireguard and caddy.

No, the request is fine. But once it fucks up and starts generating a long string of a single number the output is censored, because it is similar to how a recent data extraction attack works.

This is a valid opinion to have as a consumer in the here and now.

However, if you think about the bigger system and how it will change in a few years time, you’ll notice that the matter is not quite this simple. It’s easy to imagine that no single musician is brave enough to take the first step onto a new platform devoid of users, just like you are not willing to jump to a new platform devoid of musicians. And if no artist takes the first step and no user takes the first step, then the status quo will prevail. Now, that may not necessarily be a bad thing. But if artists are not paid enough to continue making music for Spotify, then they’ll stop making music for Spotify. That’s fine if you like mainstream music of whoever games the system successfully. But it’s easy to see how that would be a loss to some people.

A lot of businesses get away with shit, but the emissions scandal did lead to some big fines and criminal investigations into the upper most management level.

Yes. All hosting providers will comply with requests from law enforcement.

Signal and proton mail were forced to hand out information as well in the past. All you can do is choose which provider you distrust the least.

Oh, don’t worry they’re a random mix of old drives I had lying around, they’re most certainly not the same model, let alone batch!

(But yes, fair call if you have a big Nas. I have 2TB in my desktop)

It protects against drive failure. That is the threat I am most worried about, so it’s fine for me.

Their Download stats look very sus though. Maybe they process their logs three days late, but that drop does not look pretty.
