Currently I manage my passwords in an archaic but secure way, which is simply to synchronize a directory where I have my Keepass database between my devices, and I say archaic but secure because even if my Nextcloud server hosted on a VPS explode (where I have the database stored) I still have the databases stored locally, so I...
I have a server configuration to what i though would be best, and that is running a Debian, then installing a service i most frequently use, and use containers for other services. But, now i think that’s not a good solution and i’m looking for advice....
Docker in a lxc container is also used quite a lot with proxmox and would allow you to keep some resources without allocating everything for a docker VM.
I’m thinking about making some changes to my home server to make it a little more robust and let me do some cool new things with it (like actually trust it for backing up data to with NextCloud, replicating VMs or data across sites, etc). I’m just looking for any advice people might have for this process to migrate...
I set up a new home server recently using containerized services, and I wanted to share what I learned. Nothing here is revolutionary, but this is the type of resource I wish I had when I started....
It looks like you are trying to reinvent parts of kubernetes.
I would recommend to give it a try, it’s easy to spin up with k3s, even on a single node!
Set imagePullPolicy to Always in your deployments (this is more or less k8s version of compose) and latest tag, then every time you restart a deployment, you get the latest version, with auto rollback. Set the tag to a static version and it doesn’t update as long as you don’t change it.
For gitops, add fluxcd.io and you’re set, it doesn’t even require a CI workflow.
I recently moved Nextcloud and Gitea from Containers on a Debian VM to Alpine LXCs running Alpine’s packages. I’ve never had Nextcloud’s web interface so snappy and my resource usage for both is next to 0. If you’re running Proxmox I’d highly recommend trying out Alpine LXCs if they package your services.
Throughout my life i have set up a multitude of different printers. None of them have been a pleasant experience. Why is this, and is there a printer that is actually good?...
Got the same printer, it’s also great if you don’t print a lot. I’m still on the same third party toner from 7+ years ago. Never again will I buy an inkjets printer.
I have an HP g3 mini and a Dell Optiplex flying around, both similarly specced. The HP has an i5 6500t and 16gb DDR4 RAM, the Dell has 8gb DDR3l, so nothing too different....
10w is ± 87kwh/year. Depending on your electricity cost, it would take 1 to 5 years to gain anything from switching to a picopsu, that’s it if you even manage to gain 10w, which is not a certainty.
If you really care about those 10w watts, selling the optiplex and getting a second G3 would be a better option I think.
I’m looking to host my own website and mess around with some services but my current home server is already pushed to the max. Planning on getting some thin clients for proxmox when I have some more money, but for now I wanted to mess around on Oracles free tier to test some stuff. I heard they will randomly delete accounts /...
Idle Always Free compute instances may be reclaimed by Oracle. Oracle will deem virtual machine and bare metal compute instances as idle if, during a 7-day period, the following are true: CPU utilization for the 95th percentile is less than 15% Network utilization is less than 15% Memory utilization is less than 15% (applies to A1 shapes only)
So don’t create a 4 core 32gb ram vm to run a vpn, and you should be fine :)
It was working fine until yesterday, now I’m getting this error. I made sure it’s installed and configured correctly, clang is also installed, made sure....
I’ve recently played with the idea of self hosting a LLM. I am aware that it will not reach GPT4 levels, but beeing free from restraining prompts with confidential data is very nice tool for me to have....
The openai cookbook, while mostly focused on openai llms, provides lots of useful information about how to improve result reliability by tweaking your prompt and a lot more such as code samples: github.com/openai/openai-cookbook
About langchain, I’ll go a bit against the flow and would suggest against it if you want to actually understand what is happening. It provides too much abstraction that hides the prompts and prevents you to easily adapt it’s behavior. This discussion on hackernews talks more about it: news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36645575Having recently dived into this topic and having been bitten by langchain shortcomings, I cannot but agree with the comments.
