- Comment on Setting up a server for a research team. What should be in my checklist? 47 minutes ago:
The biggest pain is that its apple silicon, which limits what’s built for it.
Depending on what its doing, you may need to build dependencies from source. You also may have to use some mac-specific tools to download pre-builts and to do builds.
In some cases, it may be better to run a VM with Linux and forge on ahead, but its really going to depend on what tasks the server is handling.

I dont know about staying afloat, its just the one kind of can thats been under $1.
That said, yeah they definitely have less wiggle than they used to. It also goes to show how much they were making on that 99 cent can back in the 90s.
- Comment on Shit's getting real 1 day ago:
The practices of buying goods for production? That some resources (aluminum) exist in other parts of the world? That others (tea) are better produced in a different climate?
What the hell are you even talking about?
- Comment on Shit's getting real 1 day ago:
Complicit in… Importing goods that aren’t made in the US or have a substantially more limited supply?
What are you saying they are complicit in here, trade with other companies?
- Comment on Shit's getting real 1 day ago:
And the costs are not high for the tea itself, which is my point. Its hard to say exactly which supplier, what component of flavoring, etc would be an issue for costs that caused an increase (or if they just wanted to use it as an excuse).
Point is, it doesnt matter why. There are lots of imports for various materials for functionally any company in the US.
- Comment on Shit's getting real 1 day ago:
Why are they using anything imported anyways?
Could be just aluminum for the cans, doesnt have to be that they are importing anything just that suppliers are.

- Comment on Microsoft no longer permits local Windows 10 accounts if you want Consumer Extended Security Updates — support beyond EOL requires a Microsoft Account link-up even if you pay $30 4 days ago:
Depends on what you’re looking for, for some fields there are fantastic options already.
The others… Well considering the trajectory I’m seeing now (as a multiple decade Linux user), I think a lot more will start building for it. Maybe one flavor to start, but I do think it will be much more common.
I’m seeing it with some of my clients already.
- Comment on Leaving GitHub. Music server alternatives? 5 days ago:
Each instance becomes a pod, users on pod A can find content thats on pod B. This includes both actors (users) and library objects (audio content), ordered collections (playlists), etc.
- Comment on Leaving GitHub. Music server alternatives? 5 days ago:
… Have you reached out to the devs/maintainers of the projects to find out what their plans are going forward?
Because you may be completely dismissing projects that are in the process (whether its early planning or otherwise) of moving to codeberg or something.
Or even expressed any of your concerns to the devs?
- Comment on Buy HDD on sale now or wait for Black Friday? 5 days ago:
I dont consider Black Friday to be of much value, its usually garbage thats been repackaged,or priced up just before to go down for black Friday/cyber Monday.
That said, I dont spend anywhere near that much on drives per tb, and I dont do used. I’m also not looking for quiet though, the HP 2920 in the rack is much louder than any drive is going to be, so if its the right price for your needs, I’d just go for it. I’d base on $/TB though, and I wouldn’t be waiting for November, just the right price.
- Comment on Your favourite piece of selfhosting - Part 1 - Operating System 6 days ago:
Proxmox all day, every day.
Generally speaking I start with Debian and install proxmox on top rather than use their installer, this way I can config things as I want them before getting proxmox going, which I guess counts as a more advanced user use case, though not really complicated.
- Comment on New server sanity check 1 week ago:
Nothing special in the slightest.
The rack has good airflow, I keep the case clean and dust free so the fans dont have to work hard, and the room its in is at the same 72F the rest of my home is. Haven’t had any issues so far with any m2’s, and I’ve lost one dell micro (mobo failure) in… 8ish years?
- Comment on New server sanity check 1 week ago:
Ive got a bunch of tiny/mini/micros running everything and the kitchen sink - mostly lenovo right now, but with a couple hp elitedesks and dell micros. I only store VMs locally though, so its all m.2 and general storage on the NAS’s.
JF you’ve got plenty of processing with the iGPU for any compatible codec.
Couldn’t tell you on the frigate side, but otherwise youre perfectly fine with that hardware.

I have plenty of thoughts about their majority shareholders.
Its just none of those thoughts are positive.
- Comment on OpenAI’s Sam Altman warns of AI voice fraud crisis in banking 2 weeks ago:
TD Bank, yes.
- Comment on OpenAI’s Sam Altman warns of AI voice fraud crisis in banking 2 weeks ago:
Nope.
Fuck TD. They enabled this horseshit automatically on my account. Surprise, surprise, it didnt work on my voice, even once.
Supposedly they disabled it three times. Guess what else happened? Someone accessed my damn account, because it was their voice linked to my account.
I’ll never have a TD account again. Absolute jackasses in terms of account security, that isn’t even the only issue I had with them.

For anyone curious, this is a Sicilian rice ball (arancini), they go all over NJ, operating out of northeastern NJ.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
Personally, I keep storage and compute separate, makes it easier to maintain IMO. Where I have done it on a single box, ive just gone with a regular old Debian box and dropped in the drives.
I am considering playing with rockstor on a spare beige box I have, but basically the same separation of storage and compute will apply.
- Comment on Just a little server 3 weeks ago:
Do you think you can’t have an AMD GPU with an Intel board and iGPU?
Because you absolutely can. This is a non-issue.
- Comment on Just a little server 3 weeks ago:
That doesnt really change what I’m saying here…
- Comment on Just a little server 3 weeks ago:
I mean, thats what my quadros are. There is an Intel igpu plus the quadro, I find it more efficient because I can dedicate them to tasks more easily.
I agree sr-iov being better adopted would be great, but I also realize I’m not really a candidate either, I find the split approach best for my needs.
- Comment on Just a little server 3 weeks ago:
Depends on the model.
I can say for jellyfin transcoding, the igpu is plenty. The quadros only get used for transcoding and some misc cad use and other such things.
Given the recommended GPU w/ HDR specs for Sunshine - Intel HD Graphics 730 or higher - thats easily accomplished, even used. I couldn’t say how well it runs though as I don’t use it myself.
- Comment on Just a little server 3 weeks ago:
I’ve got three with quadros in them.
There are definitely options. No youre not shoving a full size GPU in there, but there are options.
- Comment on Just a little server 3 weeks ago:
Almost my entire (excessive) setup is a bunch of used, off lease tiny/mini/micros.
Most ive bought for about $100, then tossed some minor upgrades to like an m2 ssd, maxing out ram, etc, so under $200 altogether historically. Clustered with proxmox, so I even have high availability.
Yes, minis are great. Just do storage elsewhere, which can be a NAS or a generic box you load up with drives.

15mph max is a bit disappointing, I’d like to see 20-25 to at least compete with my legs, but I’m down for something like this.

Wireguard site-to-site, they already had an OK router I recommended to them so not much effort there.
- Comment on Question about traffic using Cloudflare tunnel 4 weeks ago:
Plex is a good example that does just that (not on my rec list but a good example) along with many business grade IPTV and media streaming products (think digital signage).
I’d really love to rework JF to do it, but structurally it wouldn’t work, you’d need a management service in front of it.
- Comment on Question about traffic using Cloudflare tunnel 4 weeks ago:
Remember that we’re talking about a server on your local network, and a device on the local network to make the connection for the stream. We aren’t talking about streaming over the internet.
- Client looks up server via DNS
- Client connects to public IP
- Client handshakes to server
- Server announces to client available connections (public, local)
- Client continues connections with local address
There is no need for tailscale or anything, this is a local connection. The only thing the public address is doing is the initial call to the server.
