- Comment on [IAP] tinyfeed 1.5.1: the stability release! 2 days ago:
there’s always a bunch of people in the comments roasting them for AI use.
That happens here too, it’s just easier when you make AI disclosure a scarlet letter.

Should be Wh anyway.
- Comment on Why use Proxmox over Podman or Docker? 3 weeks ago:
Maybe I misunderstood - The “NixOS (bare metal)” seemed to imply to me that the containers were not bare-metal by omission. If not then my complaint is retracted.
- Comment on Why use Proxmox over Podman or Docker? 3 weeks ago:
I’ll die on this hill.
Containers run on “bare metal” in the same way that other processes on your system run.

Ten research teams were honored Thursday at a satirical science awards ceremony that was hosted outside the U.S. for the first time due to travel concerns.
Sigh

The more I learn about the Romans the more I realize how advanced they really were!
- Comment on Moving db data (MariaDB) to NFS NAS Hello self-hosters! :) I’d like to tap in 1 month ago:
I’ve been wrestling with this issue myself recently.
There can be both performance and other issues with a db whose data files are on nfs. That said I’ve done this for years without any real problem. Np db corruption so far - but it’s a possibility and I’ve probably been lucky. I have good backups just in case.
Like you I also don’t want to maintain a “pet” database on my file server. I want to spin up databases in kubernetes pods and not use local now storage.
I’ve been investigating using iSCSI instead. It’s “block level” rather than “file level” and performs better with a database. Also none of the locking issues mentioned. It’s a recommended way to do remote storage for a db.
The downside is that it’s less resilient to the file server becoming unavailable.
Might be worth investigating for you as well - I’ll be performing some poc tests to figure out how much of a pain it may be (I don’t want to need to fsck a bunch of targets after a file server reboot).

I’m not asking them to donate their time.
- Comment on Is this little guy AI? 1 month ago:
There’s a difference between offering your own labor for free and asking others to donate their time for “exposure”.
- Comment on Is this little guy AI? 1 month ago:
No? But I’m not the one offering “exposure” for art.
- Comment on Is this little guy AI? 1 month ago:
That’s a very long way to spell “yes”.
- Comment on Is this little guy AI? 1 month ago:
You’re asking artists to work for “exposure?”

The replies to this story are making me lose faith in humanity.
- Comment on I measured the idle RAM of 19 self-hosted apps on identical hardware so you can size a VPS without guessing 2 months ago:
Is this useful? They’re started but doing absolutely nothing. Who cares? You need to plan for max usage not idle.
My forgejo instance running right now is using 1070MiB. That’s way off your 173MB.

Trump-branded lysenkoism.

Also, it might not.

No.
- Comment on ChatGPT fried my drive!? 9 months ago:
AI is so much faster than reading docs. And you get context specific responses that you can drill into. When used correctly it’s very useful.
This was using it… incorrectly though…
- Comment on ChatGPT fried my drive!? 9 months ago:
The drive got whipped [sic]
Oh, it was just sitting there and “got wiped”? Not because of a command you ran?
Sorry to be snarky but when asking for help you need to provide what you did, what error message you see now or what you expect to happen and what is actually happening. Also what OS you’re using would be helpful.
Presumably you should be able to get the drive back into a usable state - but I’m not familiar with SAS drives.
- Comment on ChatGPT fried my drive!? 9 months ago:
Am I the only one who has no idea what their problem is now? Just that there was an error about DIF but… What’s the issue now?
- Comment on What are some unique Games to host server's of? 9 months ago:
I ran a fairly popular RTCW server back in the day… Insta-gib and sniper rifles only. Good times.
- Comment on MPV: The Ultimate Self-Hosted Media Solution You're Probably Sleeping On 11 months ago:
I’m happy you’re discovering the Linux CLI, but this is pretty ridiculous. mpv, vlc, mplayer, etc. all serve very different uses from jellyfin.
- Comment on Those who are hosting on bare metal: What is stopping you from using Containers or VM's? What are you self hosting? 1 year ago:
Oh for sure - containers are fantastic. Even if you’re just using them as glorified chroot jails they provide a ton of benefit.
- Comment on Those who are hosting on bare metal: What is stopping you from using Containers or VM's? What are you self hosting? 1 year ago:
Containers run on “bare metal” in exactly the same way other processes on your system do. You can even see them in your process list FFS. They’re just running in different cgroup’s that limit access to resources.
Yes, I’ll die on this hill.
- Comment on 18% of people running Nextcloud don't know what database they are using 1 year ago:
Read the comments. Self hosters are little more than users anyway.

Install is the easy part. Nobody ever thinks about maintenance.

I had the same thought - an entire 8U rack to hold a single raspberry pi with an external drive?
