  I run on dual Xeon R410s with 128Gb of RAM. Got them for free, on Kijiji. Runs Proxmox on both and a pile of VMs. Dual GB nics, 6 SAS bays, HBA in IT mode for ZFS. Has iLo for OOB management, or whatever the Dell equivalent is.

  I mean, it’s not fast, but each server has 24 cores and I can chunk PDF files fairly quickly for RAG on 10 cores and have plenty for mail server, Nextcloud, K8S running some side hustle apps, etc, etc. Kind of a noisy prick when it winds up though.

  Buy old servers.

  Whatever it is, it’s totally tubular.

  You would have to try pretty hard to kill yourself with a hotwire even if you had a heart condition. Like lay on your side on the ground and grab the hotwire so maybe the circuit went through your heart and not entirely followed the shortest path to ground along your side.

  A car battery would do shit all. Dry skin potential point is like 65V.

  I’m more of a Simmental than a Hereford, but the sentiment’s spot on.

  Thanks for the feedback. That was precisely my worry about outlaying that money and not being happy with the result.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What type of computer setup would one need to run ai locally?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve really been mulling one of those over with 128GB. I’m on Claude Max and Cerebras $50 so I’m using a good amount of $200/mo for coding and Openclaw. Is it worth it for light coding, or are you only doing SD with it?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What type of computer setup would one need to run ai locally?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  This was the channel I was going to suggest. A lot of what he shows is pretty pricey, but some would make sense if you weren’t too concerned about speed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What type of computer setup would one need to run ai locally?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Framework desktop?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨outlawing pedestrians⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, there’s a bridge right there. Hang a pedestrian walkway underneath. Plenty of bridges like that where it’s been added after the fact.

  But we know, it’ll see roughly 12 people a year actually use it because they’re Americans.

  Who could have seen this coming?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Month after they’ll need a semen sample and hat size.

  And people will do it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OpenClaw with Docker. Is it safe?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I would use their LXC install, it’s much more flexible. It does not need to be local but it does simplify things like email. I had to put a bit of effort into getting it to be able to connect to IMAP mailboxes to process, but it wasn’t any more than just asking it to get the necessary libraries etc. But things like that are why using it as an LXC is a better choice. It might be able to do that as a docker, but there’s potential problems with network connectivity and docker in docker issues.

  You can also firewall that LXC off without having to mess up your own workstation, as well as snapshot it and back it up.

  And the first thing I would do is have it keep token budgets when you build tasks, and report it’s token use to you every hour or two. It takes some time to learn how to structure reminders and task processing to not create loops that eat up scads of tokens. Don’t ask me how I know.

  But holy hell, can it be useful.

  I set up Pulse recently and the ease of setup and great UI/UX is impressive. Really liking it.

  Of course, there’s some AI bullshit if you want to opt in, but it’s not enabled by default.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Exploring Options to add NVR⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I tried it a couple years ago and it wasn’t very successful. But maybe that’s changed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a good email server that can be run through Docker?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The other server sends again until it times out? Never been an issue, that’s just how email works. Most SMTP servers will attempt for a few days if they know the MX is valid. Besides, I’ve never been out for longer than an hour or two.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a good email server that can be run through Docker?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Seems really low. I run it on a docker LXC with Nextcloud and bunch of other stuff, on 8 cores of an ancient dual Xeon Dell. I never seem to have to deal with latency on it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a good email server that can be run through Docker?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Mailcow-dockerized. I’ve used it for several years, it’s been flawless.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Exploring Options to add NVR⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Frigate is painful to set up. It won’t just go out and query the onvif capabilities so you have to try and figure out its RTSP url manually and ptz support is primitive. Its low resource and stable once you manage to get it to work.

  Blue Iris is much easier and more capable, but uses Windows, and its a resource hog, and its paid. But if you get past that, BI is really good.
