  Yeah, evidently they really, really want you to sign up. They upped the period from the first three years to as long as you own the car (it doesn’t transfer to a new owner if you sell it).

  When I bought my Hyundai they pushed fucking hard to sign up for their Blue link product. Free for life! Look, map updates! You can personalize your driver profile pic! Want to remote start your car over the Internet?

  Luckily, my VIN wasn’t working for registration (I guess it hadn’t quite gone through fast enough that the car was purchased). I’ve gone two months without BlueLink and I’m hoping that’s saving me from some of the info gathering (or at least it’s not directly linked to me.

  I bought a car that comes with a “free” 300k/30 year warranty, but only if to do oil changes every 4k miles or 3 months. Maybe this guy has something similar?

  For me, I may try And keep it up for a bit, but driving to one particular dealer every 3 months just to get a ridiculous warranty that will probably never actually pay out isn’t worth it.

  I filed mine mostly because I knew I was going to be getting a refund. I wanted to make sure that I got that money before the IRS was completely fucked. This may be the last year that I purposely overestimate my tax burden (e.g. paying more in taxes than I ideally should).

  In the past, people would say that you’re giving the government an interest-free loan - I didn’t really care about that because I knew I would get that money back later. Now? I’m not so sure.

  A standard Blue Bird bus weighs around 10-15 tons (10,000 - 15,000 kg), depending on the model and configuration. Let’s assume an average weight of 12.5 tons (12,500 kg) for this calculation.

  Now, let’s divide the total weight by the weight of a single bus:

  273 billion metric tons ÷ 12,500 kg/bus ≈ 21,800,000 buses

  So, approximately 21.8 million Blue Bird school buses would weigh around 273 billion metric tons.

  Keep in mind that this is another purely theoretical calculation for entertainment purposes only.

  For you and @Stalinwolf@lemmy.ca, from llama3.2:

  So, approximately 8,144,000 football fields would weigh around 273 billion metric tons.

  Sure! I mostly followed this random youtuber’s video for getting Wyoming protocols offloaded (Whisper/Piper), but he didn’t get Ollama to use his GPU: youtu.be/XvbVePuP7NY.

  For getting the Nvidia/Docker passthrough, I used this guide: bittenbypython.com/…/install_ollama_openwebui_ubu….

  It’s working fairly great at this point!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's up, selfhosters? - Sunday thread⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I spun up a new Plex server with a decent GPU - and decided to try offloading Home Assistant’s Preview Voice Assistant TTS/STT to it. That’s all working as of yesterday, including an Ollama LLM for processing.

  Last on my list is figuring out how to get Home Assistant to help me find my phone.

  I (unfortunately) am in the market for a new-to-me car and I’m so pissed that my only options are either 15+ year old vehicles or spyware on wheels.

  I may not rip out any antennas, but I’m damn sure going to try and interfere with them somehow.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you all handle security and monitoring for your publicly accessible services?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  This is the way. Layer 3 separation for services you wish to access outside of the home network and the rest of your stuff, with a VPN endpoint exposed for remote access.

  It may be overkill, but I have several VLANs for specific traffic:

  • DMZ - for Wireguard (and if I ever want to stand up a Honeypot)
  • Services - *arr stack, some Kubes things for remote development
  • IoT - any smart things like thermostat, home assistant, etc
  • Trusted - primary at home network for laptops, HTPCs, etc

  There are two new additions: a ext-vpn VLAN and a egress-vpn VLAN. I spun up a VM that’s dual homed running its own Wireguard/OpenVPN client on the egress side, serving DHCP on the ext-vpn side. The latter has its own wireless ssid so that anyone who connects to it is automatically on a VPN into a non-US country.

  I ran Ethernet from the basement to the first floor office and living room over the holiday break. That was one of my main goals for my first house.

  The next project will probably be figuring out how to properly insulate the garage. It’s attached to the house via an uninsulated shitty door and that’s a problem when the garage is 38°F and I want the house to stay around 68°F.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are your Homelab goals for 2025?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  For the nginx reverse proxy - that’s how I ran things prior to moving to microk8s. If you want I can dig out some config examples. The trick for me was to set up host based stanzas, then update my internal DNS to have A records for each docker service pointing to the same docker host.

  With Kubes + external-dns + nginx ingress, I can just do a deployment/service/ingress and things automatically work now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are your Homelab goals for 2025?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I want to move my 4x SFP+ from their current MicroTik switch to my new Brocade. Then I’m very strongly debating running both VM and Ceph over the same 10Gbps connections, removing the ugly USB Ethernet dongles from my three Proxmox Lenovo M920q boxes.

  After that? Maybe look at finally migrating Vault off my ClusterHat to Kubernetes.
