Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

SSD isn't necessarily less energy hungry than spinning platter.
It really depends on the specific units and use patterns.
Generally SSD has better idle power, and HD has better read and write power, but that doesn't even always hold true.
If your device sits idle long enough, SSD is better for power, but the write time to get to idle could easily consume the power differential.

Very interesting, thanks...
At least ssds are much less hot and lot quieter than mechanical drives, and in a home, not chilled, and not isolated environment means even more than power consumption to me.
Edit: my 4 x 4tb ssds anyway are much less power hungry than the 2x6Tb spinning drives they replaced, so much that my overall server consumption dropped significantly in my home assistant readings (via ZigBee power meter).
Good to know, thanks!
