I really hope that the Pixel 12’s will be supported again by GrapheneOS or a cheaper option will be made by Motorola. Otherwise I will have to keep my Pixel 10 with Graphene alive forever (?). I do not expect there to be a real second-hand market for this Device to get your hand on one for cheap.

That was very interesting to read. Thanks for sharing!

I have one of these on my backup Server. But about 2 out of 5 times the HDMI signal is not detected (after the Backup Server was running for a couple days) and I need to restart the Backupserver to get it working. restarting the JetKVM does not work. In comparison I had none of these issues with a NanoKVM. I don’t know if it is a problem of the JetKVM or the Backup machine.

You could use a NanoKVM together with tailscale: https://wiki.sipeed.com/hardware/en/kvm/NanoKVM/network/tailscale.html

These cost around 60€ (don’t know the dollar price) on Aliexpress (I remember them being a lot cheaper in the past…).

You do not need to use tailscale on the NanoKVM. You could use whatever VPN tooling your router supports to connect to your network and then to the NanoKVM.

P.S. There was fuzz in the past about them including a small microphone that was not documented. Make of that what you want.

Do you compartmentalize the disks again, or do you just make different folders?

Yes, when you are not using BTRFS. Due to OMV using ext4 as default you basically create your Raid and then folders/networkshares on top of it.

ZFS on the other hand allows you to create datasets which are separate ZFS filesystem object that can have its own settings (quota, reservations, permissions, etc.). The “same” goes for BTRFS which supports BTRFS subvolumes.

I do not know how well OMV supports BTRFS and how well it is integrated in the overall workflow. Therefor I cannot give a recommendation if it is feasible to use BTRFS on OMV.

Just checked my UPS. It sits at 105W for:

• HP Mini PC
• Synology 4 Bay NAS
• DrayTek Router
• Mikrotik 16 Port Switch
• PoE Switch
• 3 AP’s
• 1 Raspberry Pi 3B
• 2 NanoKVM

I am also using Beszel after using checkmk. For me checkmk was way too complicated (but is also way more powerfull) to setup and maintain propperly. So I switcheed to beszel because it is much easier and good enough for my use case which is:

• Is the thing running at all?
• Disk full?
• CPU, network, etc. on full throttle for some strange reason?
• send me a mail if somethings wrong

Besides that I don’t need anything. The only thing missing is SNMP support to check switches, routers and AP’s.

I do cooking on living history events for dozens of people. And creating the shopping list from them (where a recipe is absed on another recipe) is always a painpoint. This sounds versy interesting (never heard of it).

I will give it a try. Thanks for sharing!
