Synestine

I’m not aware of an SFTP client that works like the cloud drive connectors. Do you know of one that monitors local files/dirs for changes and automatically sends them? Or polls the server for changes and downloads then (if they’re on the allow list)? Keeps versions?

If literally all you’re doing is occasional file transfers, sure, SFTP is easy. That’s not how most people use cloud drive clients.

For me and my group, Nextcloud works fine and fast. We do more than file sync and share.

Same here. If it’s TOTP based 2fa, you can keep them in entries and use them from there.

If you’ve optimized your BIOS settings (balanced mode or power saving wherever possible), the only other option is removing extraneous hardware. All hardware power use (disks, HBAs, other adapters and controllers) adds up. I managed to get idle power consumption of an HP DL-380 G9 down to about 60w (started at 210w) by removing the disks, RAID controller and battery, fiber channel adapters, and extra Ethernet adapter. Each SAS disk I removed saved me 10w. I used one M.2 drive in a PCI adapter instead.

Like you mentioned, these aren’t designed to save power. That Opteron (and the chip set) hales from a time before “performance per watt” was a thing.

Ah, so you’re the kind who loves bitching about things online, but won’t lift a finger to defend themself, gotcha.

What I mentioned prior doesn’t change anything about library management in the slightest, you just wanted an excuse.

The reverse proxy is the part that’s exposed. CrowdSec watches the logs for intrusion attempts like fail2ban would.

If you’re worried about it, make sure to not use a default path. Then legit clients are fine but these theoretical attackers get stymied.
