THIS. Had to read it at university. Holy moly was that a hard earned seminar.

This makes me sick in the stomach.

Plant trees around your house. Shadow and natural cooling because they tend to evaporate water. Use white outer surfaces to reflect sunlight for additional benefit.

The Seagate Exos in my aray consume 8-9W each on idle, and 12-13W active. I doubt that a NVME would consume that much in idle, which will be most of the time for data storage.

It’s the first step of many to follow. Bavaria already “promised” to make it as tough as possible for the clubs to establish. They will now need to spread and root fast before the next (most probably rightwing / CxU) government can start to revert all that was achieblved.

What nags me most with them is that you have no separate Firewall controll over their WiFi, and the WiFi range is not really great. So probably consider going with dedicated APs instead.

Probably also check the power settings in the config file: https://kalitut.com/increase-usb-current-limit-raspberry-pi/

You could take some information and inspiration from https://hackaday.com/blog/.

Yes.

To extend on this: Anybody ever did a test recovery to see if the backups are ok and to dry-test their backup/restore strategy? I have to admit that until now I was too cheap to keep a spare drive array just for testing.
