The newer M-series have the RAM soldered on the board instead of removable. Typically that means they have a higher bandwidth to the RAM because of it, but you can’t upgrade to more memory. It’s an advantage if you’re running LLMs on the unit itself, but not much use otherwise.

The irony.

PBS has a host backup client you can install on non-VMs. You can then configure it to just backup it’s operating system files. This works for other Linux machines in the network including the Proxmox server, PBS itself or desktops. I even use it on my LibreELEC raspberry pi tv box.

You also need name resolution because service.host.lan goes nowhere.

In OpenWRT, add an entry in DNSmasq under General - Addresses of /myfakecomain.com/<serverIPAddress This will make every variation of service.myfakedomain.com resolve to that address (assuming you have the hosts on your network obtaining DNS via the OpenWRT router).

Then set up a reverse proxy on that server or whereever you’re directing that wildcard. If you have a lot of docker stacks on that machine, I’d suggest Traefik because you can just configure the compose files with the hostnames you want for that service, and it’ll update Traefik to redirect that hostname to that container. You can also add bespoke entries to Traefik for non-container services, or other services on your network to redirect towards.

That’s absolute bullshit. I ended up returning to Reddit for the technical subs precisely because I’m sick and tired of the smug cunts on Lemmy that publicly whinge about AI at the drop of a hat. There’s no discussion to be had on Lemmy about AI; it’s automatically a fight.

Reddit is nowhere near as antagonistic to it. I’m not reading any of the default subs, of course, but the technical subs have useful discussion without constant acrimony from people that have no interest in being there except to be assholes.

I don’t see that it increases the costs. I’ve written software and PMd other software builds in a previous life. Software has bugs and either I fix it slowly because I have to wait for winter to have time, or the AI does it while I drive a tractor for a couple bucks in tokens. AI can architect fine now and if you use your head, you can cross-check the codebase to ease maintenance with other LLMs, then come in and give it a final QA yourself.

I have a bugtracker I build into any software I build, an agent watches for new entries by users and does some preliminary work before bringing it to my attention and then every day I get a report that I can say what gets worked on while I have coffee. Honestly, I don’t care if the agent decides to refactor the whole mary-anne, it pings me perioidically in Matrix and I steer it around like I do my hired men asking which field to cultivate next.

At this point I have almost entirely vibe-coded software that’s been dogfooded for almost 2 years that works great and massively improves our operation. And I have a dozen other ideas ready for me to give some attention to in order to get them off the ground. It’s an exciting time. I love it.

I’ve rebuilt a few SaaS projects that I use so it’s under my control. Might not have all the bells and whistles, but it aligns with my needs better.

I rebuilt a simple Playstore task app into a multiuser fleet maintenance app for the farm. I’m not putting it in the wild, I don’t need that headache. I build it exactly for our needs and I don’t need to have to deal with users I can’t tell to fuck off to their faces when they get snotty about a bug.

But overall, this kneejerk “everything AI makes is broken” bullshit is starting to get to me. It’s pretty obvious these people either haven’t used it in the last year or so, or don’t know how to. Or they’re just performing for the internet, and actually use it all the time. I tend to think the latter.

I have the parts together for converting an older Ryobi cordless. Couple of DC motors and a Beaglebone Y-AI for the realtime RF5 controllers along with an ardusimple rtk gps. That might end up being a winter project.

I’ve built a self driving GPS for a tractor so this shouldn’t be too much of a lift.

I keep trying to use these, install and configure them, then never touch them again. I run across them when I’m roaming around on my one of my docker servers a year later and nuke them.

I’d love to find something that sticks, though. Hasn’t happened yet.

That was a .com moving over to I think EasyDNS. They could expedite the domain transfer around the lock if I could prove I had DNS access. Might have done that moving to NameCheap too on another one.

This was a few years ago too, everything has gotten stupid in the last few years. Maybe they won’t do that without a dispensation from the Pope and a notarized clean bill of health from the STD clinic.

You can usually do a domain transfer with a non-responding registrar if you can prove you have DNS control. It’s a manual process, but I’ve had to do it. It’s proved it’s worth to me to have them separated. Now, you might be down for a while, but you don’t have to go through a lengthy documentation process if you have DNS control.

And you should always separate NS from registrar so if one goes rogue or tits up, you can recover your domain.

An .xyz automatically puts you block lists if you decide to use it for email. Just sayin.

Well, perhaps, but it shouldn’t be any more complicated than starting up the docker stack.

What are the specific problems? I might be able to help. You might also point an agent at the repo and ask it to stand it up, they’re pretty good at that sort of thing, just approve the commands it’s running to make sure it doesn’t shit the bed.

Were you using the Nextcloud AIO? I’ve used every method of installing NC over the last decade+ and the AIO is painless to install and maintain.

Some mailchecks would be useful. DNS and the server responses.

A wine yeast would probably manage to survive. It would be strong.

Good for you. If the way Windows behaves now doesn’t drive people to Linux, they’ll never jump. They’ll just keep taking the abuse because they like it.

I don’t understand starting out on Linux in an immutable distro, but maybe that’s the oldhead in me, I’ve been on Linux since the 90s. I find adding software in those distros to be a massive pain in the ass, as well as dealing with its constraints on configurability. But if it’s working for you, fill your boots. Welcome to the dark side.

Well, if masochism is your kink…

What’s cool is that I can watch it build the feature in another page (actually, I have a ttyd session in the app so I can bring up a terminal on the Pi to work with Hermes or Opencode) and it will run pytests against a test instance of the service, then swap it into the production files and restart the service. I get about 2 seconds of disconnect where the cards don’t update, and then I refresh the browser and it’s live. If I don’t like it, I can tell it to revert to the earlier commit or change things. It’s magical.

Then I blew a hydraulic hose and went to bed. AI can’t help me with that.

Just can’t resist eh.

I have an old seed drill and the ECU smoked itself last fall. $6000-8000 if I can find a used one and then wait for it to show up, hopefully it works.

Pulled out Hermes on GPT5.5, spent the weekend building a DIY unit that monitors shaft and airspeeds, controls clutches, and gives me a browser page that I can watch all that stuff. I’m currently sitting in the tractor and waiting for it to build me a new feature I didn’t have on the old monitor where I can manually enter acres done.

It would have taken me months to build this and I’d have done nothing but work on that. Now I can tweak this while I work, or even access it remotely and change things if someone else is using it.

People can get on their high horse all they want, it cost me almost nothing to build something I can modify as I wish now. AI has democratized software. Hate it all you want, it works.

Don’t let the anti-AI bullshit get you down. You built something that worked for you, it isn’t the basis of national security for everyone and you wanted to share it. And you opensourced it so if I want to bolt on an IRC downloader or something, it’s easy.

I appreciates you.

Calibre doesn’t sync reading position.

If you’re new to it all, this is probably the safest approach. Getting mail isn’t hard, sending it is where the potential gotchas will getcha.

That’s my impression, but if all you have to do is measure the current draw, then you don’t need the third wire. So I’ve built a basic ADC circuit to do that, but it’s pretty crude.

In the original monitor, it was quite precise, and so I traced the circuitry as above off that other wire. I don’t know enough about how all that works to replicate it and I can’t seem to find much about similar sensors to learn more.

If you want to give it another try, I’ve used Mailcow for about a decade now, after running on Exchange for twenty before that. Mailcow is way easier to set up and maintain than Exchange.

Key to it all is making sure you have your DKIM, dmarc and SPF records set up correctly, as well as a PTR with your internet provider if you can manage it, though that seems optional.

Never had a problem with the big providers bouncing my mails, just a couple little outfits that couldn’t figure their filters out correctly.

I’ve seen the wire type MAF, but not this sort. Still can’t seem to find a datasheet on anything similiar.
