I have unattended upgrades configured

I ssh into it twice a year to perform updates but otherwise i leave it alone. Server’s been chugging along for like a decade now.

That I don’t know.

I flashed 3 Wyze cam 3s in like 15 minutes. I have 2 of them running 24/7 at the moment. They’ve been running for about a year now I think?

Reliability is generally good, I think I had to restart one of them once. One miner issue I found was it sometimes sucks at detecting low light. Not sure if its just an issue on the wyze cam.

Basically it will be pitch black and randomly decide to switch from night vision to non-night vision making the feed unusable for a bit.

I’m just blocking all political/news communities on sight. It’s helped a lot.

Kind of. A lot of my stuff is also on battery and the security camera and router is on UPS so during a power outrage I still have access to cameras, per room sensors and all the door and lock sensors. I would say ~50% of devices are still accessible.

Hook it up to a UPS and it basically has 100% uptime regardless of internet connectivity or power. I love how resilient it is.

Yep

Yeah. Stupid questions should be posted to YesStupidQuestions.

To ease your fear slightly, iCloud does give you a 30 day window of file history so you can undo an accident file deletion. This is pretty standard across cloud storage solutions.

To “fix” the memory leak, just restart your server every day with a cron job /s

Neat. I was considering this route as well.

Thank you everyone for the answers. After more reflection, unfortunately I’m going with Home Assistant simply because I already have the page open on every device. It’s not pretty but it’s already basically my “home page” so might as well as add to it instead of introducing a completely different service/page.

My toolbar is already full :/

Well there’s a few services that I really have no need for outside of my home so if I don’t need it, why expose it?

Maybe I’m missing something but I mostly just want some quick links to my services. I thought Grafana was mostly for graph/data driven dashboards?

Jokes aside, yes.

I’d prefer it to have a website UI just in case I want to take a quick look at something when I’m not home.

Right but you understand how this makes fragmentation worse right?

But ActivityPud is very barebones so you will need to implement a lot of features. In doing so you are effectively creating a new Lemmy.
