raldone01,

There are a few flaws.

There should be a clause forcing it to remain open source. Another clause should be that the license must not be changed. A warrenty and liability disclaimer would be also good. Otherwise a splendid license.

raldone01,

While I don’t like Apple losing them in the EU would be bad. Forcing them to open up their garden is way better.

Less competition is bad for the consumer (usually). If they break laws though they must not sell in the EU.

raldone01,

Obtainium seems very cool! Installs/Updates apps from GitHub GitLab releases.

SATA minimum rated connection cycles 50. 😂

My first server was called xenon because I misread Xeon for Xenon but I decided to stick with it. My new server is called argon. For beefy servers I will now go with noble gases. Now that I think about it maybe I will use other elements in the future. Bismut sounds cool.

I have only one cloud VM and called it firstborn. 🤷

All my PCs get names I like Aveline, Elisabeth, Amanda, Eve…

I have yet to decide on a naming scheme for mobile phones.

Networking hardware gets descriptive names for their location and purpose.

I use nextcloud and immich in read only mode on top. Works like a charm. I sync my phone over weebdav every night.

raldone01,

I use it in readonly mode. Works great nice app and great search capabilities.

They may also save costs on trucking. Smaller boxes => less full truck.

Pid 3386 behave or I am gonna SIGKILL all your children. That’s not an EMPTY THREAT. In fact I will start with the first one RIGHT NOW.

raldone01,

I will be impressed when it’s not horrifying for testers. Making something uncanny is not too hard.

raldone01,

Which provider do you use? Can you enter an ip there?

raldone01,

I just switched to porkbun. Saves me about 20EUR per year. Thanks for the tip.

I missed the keyword “glue records”. Ultimately I managed to get my dns server to work but decided against using it for now as the acme plugin is not able to do what I want. github.com/mariuskimmina/coredns-tlsplus/…/2

raldone01,

Thanks for a all the details. Makes perfect sense. I got it to work!

raldone01,

What do I take if I need more example domains on the second level? Do I use otherexample.com?

raldone01,

Just read it. Awesome. Thanks a lot.

raldone01,

Maybe they will have a 30-40b model that would be a nice compromise between capability and performance on my machine.

raldone01,

Note: Adding a user to the docker is effectively root.

Selfhosted Wireless Cameras

I currently have a couple of (amazon) Blink cameras. I would like similar cameras but that are self hosted. Yes these basically are however the HW-Sync module sucks its slow. I’ve tried other chinese brands which are slower. I was about to buy the Eufy Homebase setup it seemed perfect easy low power cameras. However their...

raldone01,

I got a dahua put it on its own vlan. It is powered and connected via Poe. I stream an rtsp stream to frigate for detection and frigate restreams to home assistant.

If you want a WiFi solution and a constant life stream you may experience degraded performance on your other devices but you have to check youself.

raldone01,

I definitely do. This time I will be well rested.

Maybe I should change something…

No. This time will just be different.

raldone01,

The following system prompt has worked great for me. I will soon test it with llama2.


<span style="color:#323232;">You are ChatGPT, a large language model, based on the GPT-4 architecture.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">How to respond:
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Casual prompt or indeterminate `/Casual`:
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Answer as ChatGPT.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Try to be helpful.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Technical complicated problem `/Complicated`:
</span><span style="color:#323232;">First outline the approach and necessary steps to solve the problem then do it.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Keep the problem outline concise.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Omit the outline if it is not applicable.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Coding problem:
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Comment code regularly and use best practices.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Write high quality code.

</span><span style="color:#323232;">Use markdown features for rendering headings, math and code blocks.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">When writing emails keep them concise and omit unnecessary formalities.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Get straight to the point.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">The user may use `/Keyword` to guide your output.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">If no keyword is specified infer the applicable rules.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Assume the user is using arch linux.
</span>

The /Keyword stuff seems to improve the output somewhat even though I never really use it.

My intial llama2 testing shows that anything under 30b parameters is unusable for my purposes. I have decided to use llama2 with 70b and q4 which is quite performant on two p40s. I get about 6 tokens/s.

raldone01,

Matrix messaging is great but voice is still quite janky.

How should I do backups?

I have a server running Debian with 24 TB of storage. I would ideally like to back up all of it, though much of it is torrents, so only the ones with low seeders really need backed up. I know about the 321 rule but it sounds like it would be expensive. What do you do for backups? Also if anyone uses tape drives for backups I am...

raldone01,

Just want to note here:

Snapshots are NOT a backup.

While btrfs is quite stable corruption/disk failure can always happen. Bcachefs had a little opsie daisy that caused some FS level corruption. Snapshots won’t help in this case.

Snapshots are great for quick restoration on user error.

Ingenious ways to measure power draw

So I wanted to get myself a Kill-a-watt. Being who I am, I wanted information regarding its accuracy, especially at low power draws. I found a comparison with a industry grade equipment (Fluke is about the best out there in handheld electrical meters). It’s not encouraging, so I thought about a more proper meter, but it’s...

Tasmota nous sametplugs work great and have a tiny footprint. They integrate nicely in home assistant. They must be calibrated once with a resistive load eg old light bulb.
