Best “it just works” solution I’ve found. So many others are just weird scripts around yt-dlp, and this kind of is too, but the most maintained and supported. I’m at like… well I have over 1000 pages of videos in there. It’s solid.

They’re a no brainer if you have land. Even farmers who don’t want to cover their crops, I see solar panels fitting perfectly over drainage ditches/ creeks / edges of their land. Areas they can’t farm, but could generate a ton of free electricity not just for themselves but also sell back. Then also over water means less evaporation, lower water bills for them.

You would like his stance then. Very level headed.

Yes there are private communities local only to their server

Plus a key point folks forget is that if people are worried about scraping, your instance is literally sending out all of your info to whoever wants to listen. They don’t even need to scrape, just federate as normal. Never share out info you don’t want three letter agencies listening to

I don’t use flux or traefik, but if you’re interested I can show you how I set up Istio.

As for commands, that’s why you should learn either kustomize or helm or something. The huge benefit of kubernetes is infrastructure as code. You write it in yaml and then don’t need to remember how to do it again.

I’ll have to play around with mine then, because I’ve had not great luck with it, or at least very disappointing. The CPU offloading is fairly slow, but maybe I should try tweaking more

Yeah, I do 4k gaming and have a beast of a rig, and even then I barely get it up there. Cyberpunk still struggles years later.

That’s where I am okay with hardware, but can’t seem to fit the models on my 3090. I have dreams of something like an A100 someday, but not until there’s a ton of used ones that hit the market. What do you use for your hardware?

Yeah it’s heresy on Lemmy, but I do find it genuinely useful. My only regret is that I have to use Claude/Anthropic more than I’d like, which is why I have a vested interest in selfhosting myself. I’d rather figure out how to run the larger models myself and cut them off completely, but you even begin to mention that here and you’ll get downvoted to hell.

I like the AI tag idea. I’m someone who has what I’d call a noderate approach to AI, not an AI bro but any means but I’m also okay with some things built with AI if they’re done with care. If others don’t want to see it, fine, then that’s what a tag could be useful with. However the fuck AI/slop comments on something that admits to being AI is annoying to me. (We know it’s AI, they literally said it is).

If it becomes too much content, then yes would be okay with bi-forcating the community, buy only after it becomes a problem.

Very neat! I’ll try it out sometime. What does it use for a boot device? Cache drive?

That’s pretty neat that the TPM can be used that way, maybe worth migrating over. The flash drive always made me so nervous.

So after the migration, my boot drive and flash drive could both fail, and I could plug in a new unraid boot/flash drive, it’d read my license, and it’d just work?

Neat, what did your setup look like? You mentioned the qwen harness? Run it all on one machine?

Do you find you can do coding tasks with it well?

Personally as some extra spice as I worry about ransomeare, I have a few key files I check across my array that should never change. If any of their hashes are off, I abort immediately.

Got frigate set up, more mature than I expected!

I’ve learned it really depends on the device. It’s completely a mixed bag, and that’s why I can’t trust it. Half the time it lasts over a decade, the other half less than a year.

For example, I got their “Enterprise” Switch 8 PoE with 2 SFP+ ports. I plugged it in in my garage, where it was 50 degrees (F) at the time, and it overheated. I googled it, apparently the SFP ports simply overheat. Turns out while it has a fan, it doesn’t turn on and simply overheats because they “Didn’t want a noisy fan on someone’s desk”. Which… uh, doesn’t matter if it doesn’t work. Their enterprise term means nothing.

That being said, my rackmount switches have been solid, oldest one is 10 years old. However that unknown makes it hard to justify purchasing new equipment.

I never even thought about Aqara, I have a lot of their things already. Do I need an NVR or something with that?

Really?? Is that all? Best I can think is that the transformer doesn’t really protect the device at all, I’m guessing there was a surge at some point
