See if that laptop model allows you to limit the battery charge. If the battery’s still holding a charge, isn’t swollen, and is kept at room temperature you have about a 1 in a million chance of a battery fire.
Parking your car in your garage has hundreds of times more fire risk.
Try testing TLP in battery mode even if you’re not using a laptop. You can configure all kinds of things to your liking with it.
I tried it out a few years ago and none of my server apps showed any noticeable decrease in performance with it running, but my power monitoring plug did show a reduction in power consumption. I ended up leaving it enabled all the time.
Putin’s lackey just needs an excuse to follow his boss’s orders.
I set up KeepassKC with Syncthing temporarily years ago while looking for other options. To my surprise it’s worked so well there’s been no reason to change to anything else.
The database file is always backed up to multiple devices. With Syncthing file versioning turned on older backups are available if that file gets corrupted, but in 8+ years I’ve never had to use one of those older backups.
Initially I was using Syncthing discovery servers which allowed syncing from anywhere, but I’ve since moved away from that. Now everything is run locally and I use Wireguard to connect to my home network when I’m away.
I’d get that old Pi running with a cheap SSD, set up Wireguard (or just use the Syncthing discovery servers), put it on a shelf and forget about it. It’ll probably run for years with minimal attention.
Officers who falsify charges should be in jail, but in the U.S. wearing a badge gives criminals almost complete immunity to the law.
Even in my relatively liberal U.S. city, Next Door is overrun by Magats who are cheered on and protected by right-wing Magat moderators. It needs to die and this looks like a great replacement.
Battery charge limit will allow you to set it to stop charging at partial charge. Doing so greatly increases the battery lifespan and can reduce possible fire risk even further while still leaving far more backup time than a UPS would provide.
