I have one more thought for you:
If downtime is your concern, you could always use a mixed approach. Run a daily backup system like I described, somewhat haphazard with everything still running. Then once a month at 4am or whatever, perform a more comprehensive backup, looping through each docker project and shutting them down before running the backup and bringing it all online again.
I setup borg around 4 months ago using option 1. I've messed around with it a bit, restoring a few backups, and haven't run into any issues with corrupt/broken databases.
I just used the example script provided by borg, but modified it to include my docker data, and write info to a log file instead of the console.
Daily at midnight, a new backup of around 427gb of data is taken. At the moment that takes 2-15min to complete, depending on how much data has changed since yesterday; though the initial backup was closer to 45min. Then old backups are trimmed; Backups <24hr old are kept, along with 7 dailys, 3 weeklys, and 6 monthlys. Anything outside that scope gets deleted.
With the compression and de-duplication process borg does; the 15 backups I have so far (5.75tb of data) currently take up 255.74gb of space. 10/10 would recommend on that aspect alone.
/edit, one note: I'm not backing up Docker volumes directly, though you could just fine. Anything I want backed up lives in a regular folder that's then bind mounted to a docker container. (including things like paperless-ngxs databases)
It's funny: I haven't paid for any streaming/cable/media service in 10+ years; instead choosing to sail the seas, hord media, and host my own streaming service using tools like Emby/Plex/Jellyfin.
Spotify was the one and only service I had been considering, mainly because managing music files is still a PITA; but I keep running into articles like this one and renewing my will to fly the Jolly Rodger.
I shouldn't do math late after work....
(see the edit above)
Yup, but we have quite a few of our own as well. Taking advantage of the Rocky Mountains above and below the border.
Southern BC.
Not sure what you mean by demand charges. Additional cost for peak hours perhaps? Not really a thing where I live.
Energy is billed at the lower of the two numbers I gave for the first ~1.4MWh, then the rest is billed at the higher rate. (metered between two months) It doesn't matter when you use the energy.
Aside from the energy costs, there's a ~$0.22/day base charge and 5% gst. That's it.
Edit: (see the edit in previous comment)
Record for Saudi, or record in general...?
'Cause I'm currently paying (CAD) between $109.7 and $140.8 (so USD $79.9 - $102.5) per MWh.
Edit: Damn it, I shifted a decimal in the mental conversion from KWh to MWh. Fixed the values above. (10x)
That Saudi power is much cheaper than I thought...
Certainly. I'm not saying they're a good thing; just lending credence to their existence.
Though I'll note; to use them you need access to the wifi radio carried by the individual you're tracking. Ie; you've already hacked their device.
Apple's got one, so does Google, and Microsoft. They're common tools for scam baiters tracking down call centres and individual scammers. Pretty effective actually.
You should certainly drive with more caution than a typical vehicle; but you've still got to get fuel and travel between storage and wherever you're having fun.
A trailer + a vehicle to tow it isn't always available/practical.
Point is, it's likely not on public roads often or very long. It's not like it would be out getting groceries and picking up the kids from school every day.
Tbh, regarding visibility; it doesn't seem any worse than a semi truck. Probably has better stopping power too.
Sure, there are definitely some assholes out there; but all we've got here is this picture.
This does not show him being an asshole in anyway; dudes just existing alongside his toy. What's wrong with that?
A sensible person wouldn't judge a stranger based on the actions of others.
