cool, i might try it
I wanted to get a dedicated card for video transcription anyway, but it’s good to know I don’t necessarily need it.

I’m curious what you’re doing with frigate/ how you’re doing it without a graphics card?
I’ve been using it for object detection, but i had to install it on my workhorse because my server doesn’t have a graphics card. I suppose it doesn’t need one if you’re not doing ml processing, but I’m still curious
Tldr - selfhosting is useful when:
you need a lot of storage
you need a lot of processing
you are collaborating with multiple people/family members
you are sharing media with other people outside your network
you are sharing media across devices
you want a standalone backup independent of your mobile device without doing so manually
you want more advanced AI features that are not feasible to do on device (such as image detection or live security camera object detection)
you want your home IOT devices to work locally without a cloud connection
you have old hardware collecting dust and want to put it to use
you like to make things
Seems like you might have understood the purpose of those apps, you just didn’t personally have those needs yourself, and that’s fine
This is the most reasonable response.
A lot of people here have long since made up their mind about hexbear based both on repeated meta posting on the topic and possibly a bad experience or two with them on a topic they assumed was uncontested but is a landmine topic for communists of a particular bent
I’ve personally never had a bad experience with hexbears, possibly because I’m more empathetic to their perspective, but more likely because I know when it’s time to disengage. There are users on lemmy who feel strongly about a certain topic that’s abrasive to hexbear users and dig in their heels when jeered at (or maybe feel a personal responsibility to stand them down) and are usually the users here who have the most complaints, because the standard reaction from hexbear users is irreverence (both the users and the mods).
Unlike a lot of liberals coming from reddit, communists often don’t have delusions about the neutrality of moderation and so they’ll ban you on a whim if they think you’re there to stir shit. They use the ban hammer judiciously even with users on their own instance. That’s often the biggest complaint both with hexbear and with lemmy.ml.
I thought about it, but I have a couple other services that could benefit from getting dedicated gpu anyway. Might as well just save for a proper PCIE card.
