Cool, cool. I was just throwing it out there if you hadn’t considered it. It’s quite a powerful package.

A muffin fan with 4 stand offs would to the trick. Must be this particular model that gets hot.

‘friends and family’ you say… /s LOL

It wouldn’t be a bad idea. Right at this moment my temps are as such:

• dev.cpu.0.temperature: 103 °F
• dev.cpu.1.temperature: 103 °F
• dev.cpu.2.temperature: 105 °F
• dev.cpu.3.temperature: 109 °F
• hw.acpi.thermal.tz0.temperature: 81 °F

IIRC, the case temp is like 194 freedom units. I’ve never really seen it get much higher than it is now.

I have crowdsec running on opnsense to block attacks

Crowdsec is a pretty good package. It does blocking, but is geared more to being an IDS. Opnsense supports Suricata which is a more aggressive, and all encompassing IDS/IPS. I don’t think opnsense supports it’s cousin Snort.

meh…I wouldn’t get too crunk about it. If you’re here for any length of time, you’re bound to have a few mod deleted posts.

OP, you may want to look into ntopng. I think opnsense has a ntopng plugin. I find it very useful for traffic analysis.

I’ve had pretty good fortune with https://www.memorystock.com/

Ok. Yeah, if I’m going to create all my tentacle porn with AI, it should do so while I’m still in the mood. /s LOL

A hardware firewall generally indicates a standalone appliance that is dedicated to being a firewall. Not to be confused with a software firewall as you would see with UFW, or Windows Defender. Modern routers do possess some of the same tenets of a hardware firewall, but a dedicated hardware firewall usually gives a broader range of defenses such as IDS/IPS, filtering, etc.

I have a dedicated hardware firewall in the form of pFsense. The ‘black box’ in OP’s picture is the hardware firewall.

I mean, I can run a few of the private AI stacks, but it is excruciatingly slow as to make it not worth the time. I would want something pretty responsive.

Exactly!

If I had the proper equipment, I’d run AI if it were self contained and not pinging out to another LLM.

Well, I don’t have any subscriptions, and most of my equipment I got from an IT guy I’ve known for many years, so I guess my ROI is calculated differently

gotcha

I back up everything.

that makes it a lifestyle not a diet.

It should all be a lifestyle. When I took a look at my fat ass decades ago, I decided to do something about it. People would say, go on a diet. But diets are not enough and usually not effective. What you want is a lifestyle change, because loosing the weight, is the easier part even tho it is hard work. The harder part is keeping it off forever, which is where the lifestyle change comes in. I’m not a vegan or vegetarian, tho I have incorporated some of those concepts into my lifestyle change.

Awesome!

In here it is .30 pro Kwh

Ouch!
