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.


Yeah this dude is clearly detached from the conversation, because people have been realizing that car superiority was a massive mistake and we should be correcting it. Like unfettered AI expansion


Starfield is where the studio died for me, and it’s not because it was a bad game. It’s actually nothing to do with Starfield directly, but more that I realized they just don’t know how to make any other type of game, and the world has left them behind.
Skyrim came and went, and then Fallout 4, which was great, but then you got the Witcher 3, and Red Dead 2, and the bar has been raised for open world RPGs. It’s not that Bethesda is bad, it’s that they haven’t modernized their gameplay or engines.
Starfield had a great idea, but they couldn’t execute on it. 16 loading screens to jump between planets, annoying clunky animations, the game felt like it came out in 2013, not 2023. Even if ES6 came out next year I wouldn’t trust it simply because I don’t think they know how to make a modern RPG anymore.


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


How do you use Reolink? I’ve heard other people mention it, meaning do you need an NVR, or HomeAssistant, does it work in Unifi, curious how you use it
Yeah, and everyone’s opinion of low effort is different. Idk, if all we see is pictures of a homelab or dashboard that’s boring, but at the same time I love seeing things people have worked super hard on and are proud of! Previous mods were pretty eager with that trmove button for that.
Ah my mistake, you’re the developer! Stand by my comments but wish you luck. I was looking to see if anyone had set it up and what their opinions were. I have a stack at home and could stand one up, deciding on it still now. I prefer fedi everything, but there are celebrities/professionals that only use insta and stuck with it.
How is it?
Things like this have to be constantly maintained for that reason, look also at yt-dlp. For that, I’ll give it a month, see how they’re doing then before setting up a personal interest. Worried they’ll abandon it
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
