Woah, that looks pretty sweet. No, mine was definitely a lemmy post. I’ll have to look into this one since I actually stopped using my Amazfit band a while back.

I searched and couldn’t come across it again, sorry

I remember seeing someone mention wanting to set up a grafana dashboard from the data exported from gadget bridge. I’ll see if I can find it

Not home specific, but maybe Vikunja? It lets you have projects, and tasks due within those projects. I think its more tailored toward teams working on projecgaprojects though.

There’s a youtuber that goes by the name Wolfgang’s Channel. He’s basically got a series on making on making efficient NAS’s.

Basically, in terms of watts consumed, it’s better to not have an HBA card installed since they can prevent the system from preventing lower C states when idle. Thus having a board with more SATA ports is better since you won’t need an HBA card.

Here’s a link to known power efficient setups.

If you still want to go the add in route, I think the consensus is that SATA add in cards aren’t as reliable as HBA cards, but HBA cards are more power hungry. Here’s a link to HBA add in cards’ power consumption.

Also, if you have HDDs, 5400 rpm drives consume less power than 7200 rpm drives.

At a certain point you’re spending more money than you save in your power bill, but I can’t deny that its fun making your build as efficient as possible.

I don’t know what your - and your kid’s - situation is, but I worry pushing Linux onto someone would be counterproductive to getting them to like it.

I only use it because I genuinely like and appreciate it. I’d probably start by getting him interested in it. If he likes it enough then he’ll try and learn more by himself.

I recently got an LLM running locally on an AMD GPU. This was only possible on Linux. Depending on your son, something like that could be a cool way to get him interested.

How do you mean teach?

Just getting them to use it or teaching them terminal commands?
