I have an ALLPOWERS R600 hooked up to my server rack. It has built-in UPS and will switch to the battery, if the power goes.

However, I also have solar, with its own battery bank + an ATS.

I don’t have the ALLPOWERS setup to provide power from its batteri. Only in case of power failure from the house.

Shelly plug, integrated into Home Assistant.

For the whole month of November. 60kWh. This is for all my servers and network equipment. On average, it draws around 90 watt.

That’s pretty low with 4 HDD’s. One of my servers use 30 watts. Half of that is from the 2 HDD’s in it.

Install this app All you gotta do is install it to a USB and boot from it and then bloat free! 😎

It should choose a general instance, based on region and if not possible to pinpoint by IP, it should be a curated list of instances of which it just chooses one by random.

It’s the Allpower R600: https://iallpowers.eu/products/allpowers-r600-portable-power-station-600w-299wh-with-lifep04-battery-1?se_activity_id=185831162163&syclid=csti70imlv4s738bo1rg

It does do actual passthrough and I also measure wattage directly from the outlet.

From top to bottom:

• Allpower Power Station (UPS with around 4 hours of battery)
• Unifi gateway
• Unifi switch
• Unify CloudKey (Surveillance)
• Patch panel
• 1.5U media server
• Arock Mini running stuff like my Lemmy instance and other self hosted software.

I’m planning to move my Lemmy instance to its own 1.5U.

The whole setup uses around 80-100 watts.

You guys are insane! Great work!

Nice work and glad to see PeerTube embedding works now!

Hawkrr

Funkwhale?

So you don’t want to contribute to the Lemmy project, because other instances might benefit from it?

It’s true I want hours of playback, but in the car, it’s possible to draw up to 100 watt from the outlet and in trains you have 230 volt outlets. At least in Denmark.

On a plane, you usually only have USB, but I’m not sure I like the idea of setting up WiFi on a plane 😅

That’s great to hear. It has been around a year since I tried it out.

Your suggestion is “good enough” and what I do now, but as you say, it could be fun to make a little project out of it. Figuring out what works and what doesn’t.

Maybe I’m just bad at setting up Plex, but I have never had its download feature work properly.

But also, the storage is limited on the device, so we always end up with a very small library of media, that’s quickly consumed.

I will definitely try this out! 😁

It’s not a bad solution and I have used eSIMs before when I was traveling in Asia. However, all of these “unlimited” eSIM plans has a lot of buts. Either the speed is limited to close to unusable for streaming and/or you are limited to only use x amount of GB when using hotspot.

Also depending on the country, the coverage can be awful.

True, but if your devices, in this case; iPads with only 64GB, it quickly gets filled up.
