- Comment on AI Data Center Gold Rush Driven by Thousands of Newcomers | Big Tech’s dominance of AI infrastructure is shrinking as a host of other players pile into the arena — with global economic consequences 5 days ago:
Meanwhile I’m hoping for the technology to get more efficient and require less compute to achieve worthwhile results.
I’d rather have a small specialised local language model that knows everything about a small field, f.e. vegetarian cooking recipes or maintenance and repair of <specific car model>, but nothing about anything else.
I’m just not comfortable with giving all my data to a generalised large language model running on someone else’s computer. - Comment on Portainer on Debian or Proxmox? 2 weeks ago:
I hope you find out that it’s a not very necessary service that is the culprit, so that you can simply skip it. :)

Is it your cpu or your ram that hits the roof? Is it the host OS/Portainer or the services you run on it?

I definitely understand your view and personally don’t see a way to disrupt the market either. I just hope someone else finds a way.
- Comment on Netflix kills casting from phones 3 weeks ago:
Ah - there’s your problem. VC companies simply don’t do that.
They most certainly do and then either cash in by selling to the next more risk adverse VC or sells it at a loss if they believe the company failed to disrupt the market.
- Comment on Netflix kills casting from phones 3 weeks ago:
When is the next VC driven company that focuses more on growth than profit coming? I feel Netflix and all the other streaming services are ripe to be overtaken in the same way Netflix overtook tv channel packaging.
- Comment on AI finds errors in 90% of Wikipedia's best articles 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, my morning brain was trying to say that when it is used as a tool by someone that can validate the output and act upon it then it’s often good. When it is used by someone who can’t, or won’t, validate the output and simply uses it as the finished product then it usually isn’t any good.
Regarding your friend learning to use the terminal I’d still recommend validating the output before using it. If it’s asking genAI about flags for ls then sure no big deal, but if a genAI ends up switching around sda and sdb in your dd command resulting in a wiped drive you only got yourself to blame for not checking the manual.
- Comment on AI finds errors in 90% of Wikipedia's best articles 3 weeks ago:
I find that an extremely simplified way of finding out whether the use of an LLM is good or not is whether the output from it is used as a finished product or not. Here the human uses it to identify possible errors and then verify the LLM output before acting and the use of AI isn’t mentioned at all for the corrections.
The only danger I see is that errors the LLM didn’t find will continue to go undiscovered, but they probably would be undiscovered without the use of the LLM too.
- Comment on Server and infrastructure building for me, a dummy 3 weeks ago:
Honestly I’d like to say that docker is pre-built legos. Instead of putting it all together yourself you get it all built and ready to go.
- Comment on Server and infrastructure building for me, a dummy 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, email at home sucks. Even if you wanna selfhost you wanna do it with a static ip and an rdns pointer to the email server and good luck getting that at home.

If you go for openwrt instead of librecmc the amount of guides and docs will skyrocket.
Compatible hardware for openwrt is found here:
toh.openwrt.org/?view=normal
A tip is to sort on the 5.0GHz table so all the devices that support ac and ax (newer wifi standards) are shown first.
They have a lot of good guides here:
openwrt.org/docs/guide-quick-start/startRegarding home server you would want to decide on the host operating system first. Examples are proxmox (hypervisor, controlled mainly through a web ui), a standard linux server with kvm/qemu and docker, openmediavault (NAS operating system) or Windows 11 with HyperV (please don’t).
First thing after that is to figure out of to make and restore backups of the system. Knowing that you can restore everything to how it was last night makes tinkering a lot less frustrating. Proxmox has builtin backup systems, with linux I like BORG Backup.
Regarding services you will want to read up on dockers and find a docker management system you like. I run portainer, others swear by dockge and yet some prefer the command line.
Regarding video streaming; If you don’t a lifetime license for Plex I would go for Jellyfin. Plex free is continuing to lose, not gain, functions as of now.
Immich is popular for photo storage.
Regarding game servers I think pterodactyl.io is popular to make it simpler but you can probably find a plain docker image to host minecraft. If you wanna mod mc I know Pterodactyl makes it simpler to add mods on the server.

Technically we go for 2. Powers & Roots, I just didn’t want to break the PEMDAS when comparing. :)
- Comment on I dunno 4 weeks ago:
I never ran into PEMDAS while growing up, in Sweden I’ve always been taught of it as the following order of operations:
- P
- E & Roots
- M & D
- A & S

Replace NAS drives with larger ones and then repopulate data from your backup? That way you get to test your recovery and restore procedure at the same time.

Just like navidrome it seems like Jellyfin reacts to failed mounts by emptying libraries.
…jellyfin.org/t-solved-network-not-mounted-before…With version 10.11.0 they offer a built in backup system for db/metadata/subtitles though so once access is restored it’s easy to restore any metadata changes you’ve done to your library. (As long as you got a backup since before that is)

Nothing is hard when you know what you’re doing. :)
Being able to completely wipe your compute machine and not worry is nice and imo easier.For only Jellyfin, then I agree - if that is where it stops you could run it all on an N100 integrated motherboard and have a lean sleek system that hosts your files and your streaming server. But when your services starts being too much for the N100 then it’s nice to separate it a bit and for me it feels natural to split it between compute/storage.
- Comment on ADVICE: Running out of storage 2 months ago:
Separating your services from your storage makes things a lot easier in my opinion.
Setup one machine as a NAS and have that manage your (preferably redundant and backuped if storing personal photos or other unique data) storage, then share it to the rest of your selfhosting over nfs and smb.
You could either go for a prebuilt NAS like Ugreen NASync DXP2800 or build your own m-itx with a Jonsbo N2 case and an N100 motherboard or whatever you’re comfortable with.Your jellyfin server then accesses the media libraries with a simple mount (/mnt/media). Same with your tdarr server and tdarr nodes.
It’s much easier to experiment and reinstall services when you have your storage separated from them.I can’t buy a 14tb hdd for that price here in Sweden, but I have no idea about your local prices. Is it new or refurb?
