SSH enabled and the SSH port of the container accessible.

It’s always Debian.

And I’m OK with that.

Upgrading one of my powerhouse Dell R410 proxmox nodes to 128GB of smoking hot PC10500 DDR3 ECC Ram from 64.

Now it’s cutting edge.

What I appreciate about this is the acknowledgement of something called “nuance” that AI can now write viable code and be a tool that improves software and the speed with which it is written. Just because there’s an AGENTS.md doesn’t make code slop. And the more we refine this method, the cheaper it gets in terms of tokens/energy.

I’m not happy about what it means for juniors coming into the field, but we might have to change what we teach in order to build good software, as has been done dozens of times before.

We’ll still have the kneejerk reactionaries that are locking in the KV pair of AI=Slop but i guess that’s a constant of the human condition. Conservatives never change their minds.

I attach both as bridge networks from the host, as normal, I just make sure they’re exactly the same on both nodes.

and then set up the hardware for the VM as

Set the boot order in PVE. You can also group HA targets to shift as a group. I have a physical nic on WAN and LAN, and the LAN nic is VLANned for DMZ, guest, IOT, etc. As long as you keep them consistent from node to node, I’ve never had an issue.

It’s been amazing. The thing I like the most is being able to live-motion it to another node to upgrade the host then migrate back. Doesn’t drop a ping.

I’m using some ancient Dell rackmount servers for nodes, and a couple times the prime server dropped off entirely because of power issues, and I didn’t notice for a couple weeks that it had jumped hosts. I’ve also had to restore it from backup because of a borked upgrade, and it took maybe 5 minutes.

I thought that it would be a bad idea but I tried it with the original baremetal router that I lift and shifted to a VM then put the source on standby, and 5 years later, I would not go back.

I run my OPNsense as a proxmox VM, so I get high availability, replication, live backup and restore via PBS and update-time snapshots.

I couldn’t recommend this method more, it’s saved my ass repeatedly.

I have my ops agent constantly checking SBOMs against current CVEs and if something triggers, I get a report with severity and repair options researched. I can then decide how I want it to proceed. I’m much less concerned about internal only services. SBOMs are refreshed after updates for future checks.

One I know about that’s not on your list and is very likely to be an exposed service is Mailcow. Looks like the PHP filter isn’t triggering for it, but it’s definitely PHP based.

Nextcloud.

This is well done. Integrates Sanoid/Syncoid, gives a pile of information about what’s happening on the filesystem, some of which I had to research to figure out what it’s telling me.

Haven’t seen anything to set up alarms but maybe I haven’t delved far enough into it yet.

A Tesla V100 is fairly affordable but older and won’t run newer quants like FP8 or attention kernel routines. But it will run a pile of models, even most new models are compatible or usable.

I did this back in the 00s, got the /24 immediately. Wish I’d kept it going today.

Might pay to wait a minor or two before repinning your compose file, Forgejo has had issues on the first release of a major.

I have an old .com domain, and a new .farm domain, amongst a bunch of other I registered because they seemed interesting for projects I work on.

Both via Porkbun these days, with DNS via Cloudflare. I always split DNS from the domain registrar so if one goes dark, I can recover via the other.

This was literally just set up in response to this post. Check out the posts earlier from @Xe about 16 hours before yours.

MQTT and a vibecoded flutter app that subscribes to topics and will publish acks so it mutes alerts on other devices in my networks. Nothing I could find on the appstore would stay active well enough to be trusted. This one is pretty bulletproof.

YTZero, you mean? It looks like the maintainer is stepping away because of the potential legal jeopardy of dealing with Youtube, so it’s going unmaintained. Which is a damn shame, I’ve used it for a couple months now and love it. I might have to maintain my own fork.

put one lead from the battery on a transistor so you can disconnect it with a little ESP or something when you go to power cycle it. Or even just hold down a button to connect it while you plug the phone back in.

You might find this informative about the state of open models: stateofopensource.ai

I get no popups with FF mobile and ublock origin

I might actually try Frigate again, it looks like they’ve made a pile of improvements.

Sounds like the crush was too fine on the grain. IDK if you milled it yourself, but you don’t want it like flour, more like very coarse sand.

IMO, they have nothing over BI, and as I said, the UX is very weird. I tried it again maybe 6 months ago when I needed to renew BI and it wasn’t winning me over.

Yah, that was where I figured it was going too, which was why I figured it went closed source.

Give it a try if Frigate doesn’t work out, it’s been trying to go paid for a few years now I think, but it doesn’t seem likely they’ll be able to knock off BI with what they have going there.

Shinobi? Iirc, it was open source once upon a time. I always found it had a very weird interface and UX but ymmv.

Very rudimentary. It was what I started with when I was trying to roll my own, and I had to tack on anything to deal with PTZ and alert automation.

Oh, I can get it working well enough. But it’s really bare of features. PTZ is a mess to get working. Motion-sensor control is very non-intuitive. The mobile app is a PWA.

BI completely outclasses it, in so many directions. It’s ONVIF self-configuration is flawless. The AI object recognition lets you use multiple backends if you don’t want to use the CodeProject one they ship. Automations are very easy to set up and clone/slave to other cameras. The WebUI is almost as full featured as the desktop client. The mobile app is it’s own beast and can easily jump between servers. Support gets back to you quickly.

I could go on, but it’s not even a contest currently. Maybe someone that has hours upon hours to work on Frigate would be able to configure the same things, but it’s not at all easy.

I’d absolutely love to go with something opensource and I keep trying to find something, hell, I’ve tried to build it myself. But I’m not hopeful that I’m going to find enough reason to stop paying $70/yr for anything that’s even half as good.

But good luck.

That would seem to be the bare minimum for an NVR.
