you could splice / pull the power from a fast charger and keep the data going to the PI… i think
UUHHHG this sounds amazing… im really thinking about doing this now. iv wanted a nightly but didnt know how to do it in the phone… ADB would do it… set that shit for 4am or something so i would still get pings until late
Nah, I’ve got a python script that monitors for the phone to be plugged in, then gets cracking. It places everything in a temp folder until it’s done, then SSHs into the NAS and renames the folder when it’s done.
Also has cleanup in the event of an incomplete backup.
yeah, the NAS is backed up to B2, and honestly, it’s the second thing I get out of the house if there’s a fire. First is my threadripper, then after the NAS, it’s my laptop and camera gear. I have a very solid evac plan. Go bag ready in my office and everything.
Oh, phone calls, texts, ahempicturesahem, work emails, personal emails, smart lights, youtube/plex, gotomeeting and zoom meetings, slack, that’s about it. Really not heavy usage, but not nokia territory either.
