For the Aoostar I got the 19V version of “UPS Battery Backup, 24000 mAh Intelligent Compact UPS with High Security for Modem (19V)” from Amazon,

and got the exact same in 12V for my router/modem

I’ve been running my Aoostar R1 for over a year now, no issue at all. ~14W at idle with the 2HDD in standby. 32G RAM, a low power SK hynix Gold P31 1TB NVME. I’ve re-used the pair of 14TB HDDs from my WD NAS and recently got a pair of 12TB refurbished HDD for ca 240€ to use the old WD NAS as a backup. I run Proxmox with a bunch of LXC containers (12 mostly) of which a pair of pi-hole, pair of VPN/hardened SSH, fileserver, home automation, Logitech media server, Jellyfin etc etc etc The R1 is not that noisy, never crashed once, does not heat up and is powered through a 88.8Wh mini UPS.

I’d say 1999, first DSL was only 1.1M

Toast them and have them with PB&J, obviously

I own 3 of those. They are not for PS or XBox but for mostly for PC gaming. They are not Bluetooth, they come with their dedicated USB nano receiver. I don’t even trust them to win a championship in “F1 race stars”, the arcade F1 game. The wireless is not reliable enough. They eat AA batteries like candy.

Nope, auto play is disabled here too

Shokz Openrun, the smaller ones.

Sound quality? Good, lacking bass but overall good.

It has to be quite loud before anyone at the office hears anything

A bit of everything, mostly rock, electronic.

Comfortable Yes, all day long for 6 months straight during office hours.

No irritation, not a trace like you would have on the nose when wearing glasses

It barely touches the ears

No it does not bounce, it’s super light and I got the smaller size that’s quite close to the head.

I can barely fit my index finger between the band and my head.

How’s the battery life? Over 8 hours for sure.

How long have you had it? 6 months

I wear it at work, when driving a convertible , or working in the garden. (Even with foam hear plugs when needed, it messes un the EQ balance but still enjoyable).

Do they stay put, or do you need to reposition them frequently? No they just do their thing.

It’s paired to both my phone and laptop, but that feature is far from perfect : windows notification messing up the music, or phone notifications messing up Teams calls/meetings.

100/30 55€/month

Proxmox with Debian LXC containers. The most natural transition from Raspberry Pi OS which is a Debian flavor

I’d just use tmux. Check NetworkChuck’s recent video on the topic

Because a kilo is 1000. That’s why you have kibi, mebi, gibi binary prefixes for those times where 1024 (power of 2’s) matter.

I’ve been using my wire headphones for over 10 years until recently. I’ve moved to Shockz, it’s more convenient but the sound lacks bass.

Un-smarting our home is indeed my current concern if I would pass suddenly. It’s mostly usable manually but most switches would continually try to connect to WiFi and mqtt. I rather hope have my teenager son be able to take over if need be. My passwords could be accessed by my wife anytime but I’m not sure she realises it, it would be to be documented.
