It's been a while! Let us know what you're currently working on, what exploded, what cool stuff you found, or just brag that everything is running fine unattended.

I haven't been doing a lot, renovate auto upgrades for patches and sometimes minor updates work great so far. I got involved in my union to spin up a mastodon server soon, so there's a new project, but I already run mastodon so it shouldn't be much of a deal, I just need to get comfortable with the infrastructure. I also set up ntfy but only sent some test notifications and didn't configure any app yet - planned for Element Chat.

[Meta] I'm not sure how to apply the new tags. In the recent versions of this thread, people sometimes posted about their ollama setup or the like, but I'm not mentioning AI in the post body (except this meta thingy) and it shouldn't be much of the discussion, but it's an open post. Maybe curbstickle can chime in to let me know if I should apply one of them.

[AIT] Well, let's see.....nothing really new on the server. Still waiting for something interesting besides *.arr. I did provision a new tower with the following specs:

  • CPU: Ryzen 5 5600X
  • GPU: ASUS ROG RX 580
  • RAM: Came with 32 GB Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR4 / dropped another 96 GB in it.
  • SSD: WD Black NVMe M.2 iirc it’s about a 1tb
  • Asus motherboard
  • Working on acquiring a GeForce RTX 5090 32GB GDDR7 mounted on a OCuLink external dock (tentative - may change)

This, obviously, will be an local AI machine

Nice. Did you have to sell a house to afford the parts?

LOL Not quite, however, I am choking on the 5090 but as I understand, that's the better option, and 32 GB seems to be the sweetspot for AI. I actually picked up the tower and original RAM for less than $500 USD.
