      Am I understanding their “Unlimited Expanding Storage” plan correctly? Storage capacity just increases daily at no cost increase? This sounds like a pretty good solution for off-site backups.

    I am using CrocWeb, based in Cornwall Ontario, with servers in Montreal. I have been very happy with the performance of my website, as well as the responsiveness of their support people.

    I have the Nextcloud package running on stormweb. I eventually broke and just spun up my own, I use wireguard to use it when I am away from my LAN or at least I try to I have wireguard running on a pi zero 2 with a 50 Mbps down and 10 Mbps up internet connection. I need to figure out a way to fix the VPN connection because all my reminders have been taken off of apps that try to up sell me services (like my medication app), and put into Home Assistant and I could not mark them done being off of my LAN making me realize I spend way to much time at home. I use searXNG for search again mor needing to look after my VPN.

    I use immich which depends less on my VPN as it syncs with the pi 5 when I am back on my LAN, so my pictures are saved in multiple locations.

    I host my passwords on Vaultwarden which syncs with Bitwarden when I am on my LAN, it also does my 2FA stuff.

    I self host Jellyfin and all the *arr apps to avoid paying US media companies, and I also have a couple of piholes spun up to avoid paying the Google with my eyeballs. My plan in the very near future is to move my blog and email randomization stuff to self hosting, I have some hosthero package that gives me unlimited emails and space for my blog but home labbing is where it is at! I use raspberry pi’s to avoid paying for x86, I really wish there was a better RISC-V CPU, but I am cool with my pi’s.

        Raspberry pi’s use an Arm CPU like a RISC-V chip but different, RISC-V is a little more open source than Arm.

        All Raspberry pi’s excluding the pi 5 did not have a power button, really not sure what the power button is for on the pi 5 but they all turn on when power goes to them. So if your power goes out they will turn back on when the power comes back on, but I would strongly suggest getting another boot drive than a SD card. I use the main pi boards, I had magic smoke come from a three I have used numerous pi 4’s, but I currently only have 1 running HAOS and as of this moment I have 3 pi 5’s running things one of those pi 5’s is rather iffy I plan on getting two more pi 5’s in the not to distant future one to become my firewall and one to become my mail server. I have two pi zero 2’s one I used for something and another I will be retiring soon because it only does a half ass job of wireguard.

        I have never used anything lower than the original pi zero but if I remember correctly it was a victim of magic smoke as well. From what I can see the pico 2 uses Arm.

      They were great, I used them for a long time until I finally decided I wanted bare metal or colocation (which they sadly don’t seem to offer). I’m using OVH for that now (by far the best price I could find for what I’m getting) and I’m renting another server from GTHost as the disaster recovery failover location (I wanted it in a non-montreal datacenter) but they’re not too cheap.
