How much does it cost to keep it up and running 24/7? I had roughly calculated that it’s about 3-5 euro a month. I’m not 100% sure how much Watts my laptop uses when it’s idle, but being closed like this: the screen is off; the CPU is running so low that the fans completely turn off - I guesstimate that it’s running at 10-20 Watts. To calculate your bill use any random online electric bill calculator - here’s one. Software Setup There are several ways to go and things to consider. In a nutshell - the hardware should be able to accommodate a Hard Drive, an Ethernet port, and potentially to have another SATA port to expand the storage (as you will run out of it eventually). Another thing to consider is electricity - ideally you’d either want a low-consumption ARM-based system (like RaspberryPi, OrangePi, etc), or an old laptop (they consume 20-50 Watts), or some NAS system - but in case of NAS, maybe you’d be better off by using their own OS / software and not Nextcloud. Electric consumption is important as your device will continuously be connected - and this will increase your electric bill, actually that’s the only expense of the setup. So by setting up the Nextcloud App, indexing your audio files, going to this path: /apps/music/#/settings - and creating an authentication token (or you can use your nextcloud credentials) - you can already listen to your music on-the-go.Now, if you run this script (make sure you give it: sudo chmod +x update-dns.sh and then you can just: ./update-dns.sh ) with all the things filled-up, except Entry ID - it will print you the JSON reply with all of the Entries in the given Zone ID. Now you can scroll through the reply and find the Entry ID ( key “id”). Once you find it, re-edit your file and paste the Entry ID. It took me roughly 1-2 days (I had trouble setting up Dynamic DNS, I’ll share my code here so you don’t have to figure it out yourselves).

wise beyond your years.... this spoke so much to my own experiences growing up. you're totally right, we have to be proud of who we are and not judge ourselves for it. 2021-05-18T12:47:11Z Use an old laptop - an old laptop isn’t much of use, many of us have some old dusted laptop somewhere. Laptops are good because they are power-efficient, usually come with an Ethernet port, and at least 2 SATA ports - so you can connect 2 hard-drives. Here comes the last bit - add this shell script to your crontab. To do this, you can just type in shell: crontab -e and then make sure you have this line: Note: “Cloud” can have many meanings, here we’re basically talking about an online storage solution - it also doubles as a chat-server (audio/video), streaming server, etc - basically NAS (Network Attached Storage) with bells and whistles; and not “Cloud” in terms of Google Cloud or AWS. It indexes all of your music and allows you to access it via various APIs, such as Subsonic. This is a great feature, because you can now use various Apps on different devices (such as your Android Phone) - to connect to your server, browse the contents, make playlists and stream audio. Here’s a huge list of Subsonic Apps.

Hardware Setup

Experience this beautiful cloud in your own room, in the dark the cloud appears to float as it is set on a clear stand. The first mode allows you to relax to the sound of gentle rain with a calming colour changing LED light, the second mode is the colour change only, with no sound, and the third mode brings the force of nature into your room with thrilling thunder sounds and lightning effects. Suitable for kids from 3+ years, it makes the perfect bedtime lamp as each mode switches off automatically after 40 minutes, enough time to relax and drift off to sleep, and without running the lamp all night.
