As a mediocre white guy who dropped out of college

Fuck that guy

They get points for correcting, but not enough to warrant praise.

"We've been promoting gambling to children for years, and not a single one of us thought that was bad until a Youtuber with a large following pointed that out to us. So we stopped."

Should be read

"Someone with the reach to hurt our bottom line spoke up"

I've got a virtualized set up to.

Its pretty unbothered being virtualized so long as the disks are passed through. In my set up, I have the SAS board passed through and its using that.

My reasoning is that I wanted a lot of disks space, but I couldn't get that without just a big case in general, so I use the extra space to store GPUs for AI and encoding stuff

The joke is that one would assume its a sappy sentiment that I'm thinking about home and my spouse while I relax with a beer.

And the punch line is alcoholism

Beer I get on the last day of a work trip by myself and tomorrow morning I fly home to my spouse I haven't seen in a week

(They don't let me drink)

You will say his silly name with respect! Dr. Glaucomflecken

I think it's "eye spot"

What's even crazier is he freely admits to this.

He continues to freely admit that the best way to get views is to be seen as rich and generous because kids love that stuff.

He only knows how to YouTube and Market and he says this all the time.

Mildly related.

I have a Native American friend. Her tribe is small so they only have a relatively small plot as their reservation. So they slapped a casino there and she makes bank by simply being a tribe member.

I asked if she's okay with that since I would feel bad making money off of peoples gambling addiction and she said

"I don't feel bad for white people."

And honestly

  1. I don't think that's a completely shocking take consider all of american history

But also

  1. Its certainly a similar sentiment among sex workers I've met so its not an unfounded accusation.

This is very much a "if your eye is causing you to sin, pluck it out" moment, but still

I run stock Pop OS and I've only recently wanted to give a shit about macros.

You should only care if you're running a specific software. By and large its AS SEEMLESS as using Windows.

Note that its not really BETTER its mostly just DIFFERENT.

This has never stopped humanity from at least rhyming before

Everyone in this green text is autistic.

 

I have a Hugo blog I'm setting up to work on my own forgejo server flow instead of through Github Pages.

I hate how pictures work on Hugo so I was going to just host them on a separate thing and embed the images that way.

Now I'm over thinking it and considering to just run a Lemmy instance, post the markdown for the blog posts there along with the images. Then I have an image host and a place to let people complain about my shotty writing in one go.

Plus there's federation visibility as well.

So short questions

  1. This a good idea?

  2. Are there better options?

  3. is it easy enough to set up a single user Lemmy/Piefed instance?

  4. Lemmy or Piefed? Which is easier to host

 

So I have a a mini rack.

I have about 1.5 U of rack space and a model for a 4 bay 3.5 inch BOD

HOWEVER, no idea how best to connect them to a computer.

I'm thinking right now just plugging them into a Think center m715 with a powered USB hub.

I'm also thinking get a Raspberry Pi 5 and a nvme to sata hat, but I'm not aware of a way to power those 4 drives other than extra internal power supply. It would be convenient to just use like a wall wart or USB 2 power.

Thoughts? Best practices?

 

I've been looking at moving all my services to my 10 inch mini rack and I found Lenovo Tiny P320 computers with P600 GPUs in them. According to a reddit post from a while back these are 1060 equivalent and should be able to handle multiple 1080p 60fps streams.

My current Jellyfin server is in my Epyc 7302p server with a 4060 which I'm pretty sure is over kill for my use case.

Anyone else ever make a downgrade like this? Did it work out alright? For $100 for a P320 I'm sure I won't regert the purchase but I need to be talked into wasting money.

 

So I have rebuilt my Production rack with very little in terms of an actual software plan.

I host mostly docker contained services (Forgejo, Ghost Blog, OpenWebUI, Outline) and I was previously hosting each one in their own Ubuntu Server VM on Proxmox thus defeating the purpose.

So I was going to run a VM on each of these Thinkcentres that worked as a Kubernetes Cluster and then ran everything on that. But that also feels silly since these PCs are already Clustered through Proxmox 9.

I was thinking about using LXC but part of the point of the Kubernetes cluster was to learn a new skill that might be useful in my career and I don't know how this will work with Cloudflared Tunnels which is my preferred means of exposing services to the internet.

I'm willing to take a class or follow a whole bunch of "how-to" videos, but I'm a little frazzled on my options. Any suggestions are welcome.

 

Okay Kubernetes people. I am about to build my first cluster with 4 Raspberry Pi 4B 4gb models powered over POE.

I was going to host just some basic stuff on it (forgejo, a couple Ghost Blogs) and try hosting a Mastodon instance.

The documentation mentioned that I should not use the SD cards for database stuff. So I was going to get some super short thumb drives.

What is everyone else's set up look like with raspberry pis? And how important is matching hardware?

I'm sure I'll learn more from reading the documents but this is my concern right now.

(I was also required to upload a photo so have my Latitude D630)

 

Anyone have any recommendations for Blog software?

I was considering for a while just using a mastodon instance as my blog because I just kinda wanna sign in and upload my papers that I've written. I was pretty close with Hugo. I'd rather not have to build the site everytime I upload and I want to self host and not use Github actions. I think I still could do it since I like using Cloudflared tunnels.

What is all out there?
