Frigate is the next big rock on my migration to lower power hardware. How are you running it? I’m trying to move to incus but I tested it on Docker. I need to get off my my W10 blueiris install.

Lots of options, but I prefer Red Bubble: https://www.redbubble.com/i/t-shirt/I-Out-Pizza-d-The-Hut-And-Now-The-Cia-Is-Trying-To-Assassinate-Me-Meme-by-bardBumper/155932821.WFLAH

I moved from the Pacific Northwest to the East Coast and I miss the steady temperatures and near constant drizzle. Having four seasons bites.

Either Rain Man, Rocky Horror Picture Show, or Clue, depending on how I’m feeling that day.

I had my appointment today, and got some chemical help, so progress is happening.

I started with your tier 3 and moved down to tier 2 because of power costs. I work for an MSP, so I have essentially infinite free last gen hardware from the ecycling pile, but the power consumption was too high. I’m in the process of moving from a Dell 720 rackmount to an HP EliteDesk 800 G5-SFF with 32 gigs of RAM that I put a pair of 4TB drives into, plus the 1TB on-baord NVME. Once I finish this migration I should save on the order of 250 watts, or 6 kWh per day, for a savings of about $40/mo in electricity. It’s worth taking your electric rate into account when you size your hardware, and figure out how long your ROI is for that decision.

For storage, I have a 16-bay rackmount server chassis for my NAS with 8TB drives (see MSP comment above) so I don’t have a good suggestion for consumer-grade hardware there. I know 16 spinning drives are pricey power-wise, but I just can’t give up 100+ TB. I’m pondering adding another DAS shelf to grow the array even further, though that will eat a bunch of the power savings moving off of the 720. For the time being, the inertia of not ordering a PowerVault enclosure is saving me money,

I’ve got an appointment later this week to talk to professional types because I’m not handling it well and I don’t think they’d like to see me in the state I currently am.

I hope that you can be too, even for just one person could mean all the difference.

My person like that died last year and I’m still not okay.

Edit:
I appreciate the outpouring of support here.

Story time:

I grew up in an abusive household. My mother had BPD, and my sibling was the golden child. I was the scapegoat.
When things got too hot, I could just show up on my person’s couch, middle of the night, and the only question ever asked was what I wanted for breakfast.

I’ve since moved across the country, but I ache for that sense of security again. Somewhere where I was always welcomed and never made to feel less than. Now that they’ve died, I fear I’ll never find it again.

It’s so hard to deal with, but I need help since it’s been 14 months and I still cry near daily.

I’ve got an appointment later this week to get some professional help, because I don’t think they’d appreciate the mess I’ve become since their passing.

Wish me luck.

I need 13EEEE and I found New Balance to be the easiest to find in that size, since I prefer fabric uppers.

Edit: looked at the shoe when I got home and it’s a 481v3.

From an earlier post I made much like yours, I decided to go with incus. I’d be fully migrated if real life hadn’t kicked me in the taint for a few weeks.

Even better version.
