Kube makes it easy to have a lot, as a lot of things you need to deploy on every node just deploy on every node. As odd as it sounds, the number of containers provides redundancy that makes the hobby easy. If a Zimaboard dies or messes up, I just nuke it, and I don’t care whats on it.

Uh… Probably somewhere around 150?

Was super interested right up until the AI recommendations bit.

I have run Pihole on 2 physical Pi 4s (DietPi OS) with config sync for 3 years now. Core to the house. Very reliable.

Oh sorry, just realized we are talking app servers.

Yeah, Google apps, and linux hosted apps. Havent had a company that ran windows or MS anything in 14 years.

Forgejo and self hosted action workers.

Mac, actually. Its a different kind of bad. At least I can use many of the same cli tools.

Its also trained on stolen data, artists work without their permission. AI training, even for the offline models, uses massive amounts of electricity and water and is currently accelerating climate around the world as well as unaffordability as demand for water and electricity cause prices to skyrocket. At the same time its accellerating the unaffordability of personal computing, including phones, and threatening to remove open PC hardware platforms by removing direct access to affordable DIY hardware.

On the other side of this, continued use and justification of LLMs existence is enabling the founding of mass surveillance and control systems that will be the foundation for totaltarian states, while at the same time enabling the rich to manipulate and control truth. And because of randomized token tie breaking, anything that comes out of it is only partially correct even when its one of the 30% of the times the reply is partially useful.

And - on top of all of that, you are nerfing your own skills and brainpower everytime you use it, in addition to having it do something for you that you could be learning yourself, which would have increased your existing skills while teaching you a new one.

AI is a horrible technology, doesn’t matter where you run it.

Lets fucking hope not.

I highly encourage avoiding Shop(ify) as the owner is trying to start a Project 2025 mimic project in Canada.

Yikes. I feel for you man.

Can’t use DNS?

I don’t encode in AV1, I use HEVC. But while your argument is not unreasonable, it misses the component of file size and amount of disk space required.

HEVC (x265) takes half the space of x264. While it does require a more modern GPU, it can be run on lower powered Intel CPUs with an integrated GPU just fine, so long as the CPU is new enough. Though it can only handle 2-3 streams on a CPU like the Intel chips in a ZimaBoard. So you need to choose wisely.

This is my preferred solution.

All dependent on the hardware you run the server on. Give it a good GPU and you’re off to the races

This. It burns too much electricity, wastes too much water and is wrong 70% of the time. Even if its private and offline the problems with it go waaaaay beyond that.

Luanti (Minetest) folks.

The modding momentum is picking up quite a bit and as a game engine its far better than Minecraft.

In my experience, it’s rare in North America for the bathroom or any rooms door to open outward, unless it’s a closet. Most houses are designed with a straight, narrow, central hallway. Any door opening out presents a risk to anyone walking down the hallway, so closets are the exception. Bathrooms usually open out if they are too small to open inward.

However, never have I seen one designed like this. Doors usually are in a spot where nothing can obstruct them, and they are off to the side or end of a room where drawers and people using the room are unlikely to be near, so the likelyhood of a person blocking the door is low, much less a drawer built into the cabinet. This looks like one of those designs where an original two storey house was cut into two units by a do-it-yourselfer that didn’t care about the result because they wouldn’t be the one living in their disaster.

This seems like a fatal bathroom design flaw. Imagine having a shower, opening that drawer and then having a medical emergency such as a heart attack…

Man big kitty looks like my cat, Cobalt. I miss him. What a floof.
