  • While I really like uptime kuma, it seems a bit too restricted for OPs use case. For example, to monitor disk or CPU usage, you would need to write your own scripts. It would be doable, but not very nice.

    At least how I understood the.question, OP would probably look for something like icinga.

  • My guess is that it is often hard for people to grasp that HDDs loose value much faster than other items they own. New HDDs are larger and offer better price per TB, and older HDDs have a higher risk to fail.

    I can buy new HDDs at 16€/TB, why should I spend 12€/TB on a used disk?

  • I think this is the real question. From the stats you posted, I'd say that at most 10% of Plugin hybrid owners charge their vehicles.

    Which is such a waste of ressources. Why does someone buy a car with 10 kWh battery and never even use it (beyond what the car charges itself)?

  • I would recommend avoiding RAID for backups. It's preferable to have two separate backup disks in two distinct systems rather than relying on mirrored backup disks. If there's a human error on the backup machine, you risk losing both backups simultaneously. Additionally, unforeseen events like system failure due to a lightning strike could compromise your data. Ideally, you should have two backups stored in two different location.

  • Regarding your question B:

    I personally built a SSD-only homeserver, because of performance, noise and power efficiency. However, if you need much storage, the price difference gets really painful.
