The NAS itself probably takes most of the power, which isnt logged. My server is a Raspberry Pi 5, so used 1.86kWh in September.

Not as of a few weeks ago

It needs to be Android with Google Play Services for the registration for a variety of payment related reasons, but they want to eventually remove that tie

I’m right there with you. Your comment gives me some confidence on this front to stage the upgrade this weekend.

A script checks container status and accessibility, and pushes a ntfy alert if it goes down. Healthchecks.io reports if the whole Pi goes down.

Also what I use on a Raspberry Pi 5.

Discord notifications also sometimes come with random delays because of Google bullshit, and ntfy supports UnifiedPush.

I use Kagi too, it’s great.

The other commenter corrected your index note.

What I found most illuminating was a comment by the CEO in an interview, perhaps The Verge? The TLDR of it was that Google makes money when you dwell on their site (so they want the highest ad serves per search), and a paid search engine loses money every page they have to serve you (so they want to give you your answer fast).

So, the user and Google are at odds, and the user and Kagi have the same goal.
