Around 100w usually for:
- ccr2004
- crs309
- old epyc 7601 server (about 60w, 8 HDDs with spindown, 5 ssds and a mcx311 10G)
- homeassistant raspi separate from the main server
- poe switch for phone and ap.
All connected to a UPS so measuring is easy and power usage is constant. I would prefer lower as power cost is very high but there is not really anything significant to save at the moment as the server board has no standby function and i need it most of the time.

Yeah probably. Seems like the image is not stored in its original form in this case but might depend on server settings and the image file. So as always private data like geo tags should be removed before uploading.

Uploaded this test image in the comment with modified metadata (no gps tag but added software, date, vendor info as exif tags) and after downloading it does not contain any metadata anymore. So seems like at least that server does remove it?

To get more into espresso i finally got a used gaggia classic and upgraded it with a replacement controller running the open source [gaggiuino](gaggiuino.github.io/) project. Fully with loadcell scales, pressure sensor, pid temperature control and a hand soldered [all in one pcb](https://github.com/banoz/CoffeeHat/tree/main/Hardware/GaggiaBoard_V3). You can also use standard arduino style modules for most components but the pcb makes it much more compact and reliable. In this case the modifications are fully reversible in case a future owner wants to revert it back to stock. Works great and automates a lot of steps to be more consistent. Now i just need to practice the manual parts of making espresso ;) Note: this is not my project, i just documented the build process on my machine. Maybe it helps someone to get an overview what goes into such a conversion and inspires more users to attempt it. The community is already pretty big and many also adapted the project for other machines. *Seems like the post was synchronized only after editing multiple times
A community dedicated for making music with hardware that was not meant to make music [!floppymusic@discuss.tchncs.de](https://discuss.tchncs.de/c/floppymusic) Often done with floppy drives, hard disks and similar devices by modulating their motors and mechanical parts to produce certain notes. You can also post and discuss other projects involving the same concept (modulating motors and mechanical components to make music). Historically people have been creating programs to step floppy drives in specific speeds to make sounds for over 40 years so i would consider this the most influential way to demonstrate this concept. Nowadays we have more capable hardware making this even simpler and more powerful and it can be a fun weekend project as well. 
Since 2012 i am experimenting with this concept and built several setups over the years. This playlist contains some bad, some better recordings of my setups. In the last years i am not uploading new music covers anymore but instead am touring events like Maker Faires with a live version of the setup and working on a new 64 drive setup to revive the concept again and will post them to this playlist as well. Note: i currently can't post video files as images here   
Want to get into floppymusic? There are several projects for arduinos that allow you to quickly get some music out of floppy drives. This can be a fun weekend project if you got some drives around. **Sammy1am moppy** (with java based pc application): [Moppy 2](https://github.com/Sammy1Am/Moppy2) and [Moppy 1](https://github.com/Sammy1Am/MoppyClassic) **Standalone arduino midi interface:** [Ultrawipf/midifloppy](https://github.com/Ultrawipf/midifloppy) **Floppy drive pinout:**  Feel free to post and discuss non FDD music projects with the same concept here as well.
2204 drone motor from the video:  Beefy 6374 with ODrive S1:  That one is actually strong for its size. Stronger than any Logitech ;) Had a guy in our discord make a similar one even with tiny pedals. Might add a tiny screen and tiny pedals as well for a full tiny simrig

Havoc on LG G6 (Android 11 + Microg)
Works well but will be pretty much the end of the device
Firmware for building custom simracing pedals with calibration options and support for loadcells. This project is also compatible with simforge pedals and can be used as a replacement interface for different commercial pedals as well.
This community is dedicated to DIY projects involving simulator hardware with focus on simracing at the moment. Flight simulators and related projects or discussions about building simulator hardware are also welcome. Post your DIY steering wheels, pedals, cockpits and similar projects. [/c/diysimulators@discuss.tchncs.de](/c/diysimulators@discuss.tchncs.de) [!diysimulators@discuss.tchncs.de](https://discuss.tchncs.de/c/diysimulators) Lets see if there is demand for this topic. Let me start an example with one of my wheelbases: 
This community is about all kinds of DIY simulator hardware with focus on simracing. While i am the developer of the [Open FFBoard project](https://github.com/Ultrawipf/OpenFFBoard) every kind of other DIY simulator project is welcome here too. Post your DIY steering wheels, motion systems, pedals or even full cockpits
