I have the exact same gpu and tried that. But couldn't get ollama docker version (rocm) to work with the gpu. even changing the env variable to 10.30.1. (rocminfo reports gfx1031)

would you mind giving some instructions or a link?

ad_on_is OP , 4 days ago

It would the first scenario you described... i'd just interact with a chatbot occasionally like I do with chatgpt now...but I'd also like to try to experiment with copilot like models to test and use with vscode. So no training of models or 24/7 batch operations.

I was wondering whether a custom built gaming PC is the only solution here or if there are other cjeaper alternatives that get the job decently done

ad_on_is OP , 3 days ago

oh man... I'm such a dumb dumb .. didn't even try 10.3.0, now I did and the docker version works and is extremely fast, compared to a CPU... Thank you so much.

can these be configured to stream TO a remote frigate server?

Example: I'd like to install one at my parent's house, connect it to my parent's wifi, but have it stream to frigate, that's hosted on my server in another city?

ad_on_is , 4 days ago

Yeah, I've already heard about such a solution, where I'd need a Pi that acts as the streaming client, which then should work with any camera.

ad_on_is , 13 days ago

I think this part should be better left off to the actual tool that does a more promising job on security, like a firewall.

ad_on_is , 15 days ago

Always follow the 3-2-1 rule, Google. Always!

ad_on_is OP , 20 days ago

nope

ad_on_is OP , 20 days ago

where's the "N"?

ad_on_is OP , 20 days ago

oh... it's a game where every day there's a 5 letter word you have to guess.

you start with a random word and it shows you if the letters are in its corect place (green), wrong place (yellow) or they don't occur at all (gray).

then you keep on guessing until you find the word or reach the limit.

ad_on_is OP , 20 days ago

yeah it was indeed difficult to guess

crane and slipt... I even call it the crane-game 😂

ad_on_is OP , 30 days ago

Lol... that's exactly what I use, the left part of the launcher.

ad_on_is , 1 month ago

in a nutshell

This is how the control and information exchange of smart devices work:

Phone App -> [Server] ... [Server] -> Smart Device
and vice versa

There's no way around this concept.

Now, Google gives you the phone app and the (public) server part. but these only work with their servers and apps, keeping you locked in.

HA gives you the same, a server and an app, but allows you to keep the server private (access via vpn for public)

Also who guarantees that Google Home will be there in the next few years? HA will still keep running even if it ever gets abandoned.

ad_on_is , 1 month ago

Sure, but I was talking about the basic concept of how things work in general to keep it simple for OP.

ad_on_is , 1 month ago

Authelia is meant to be an SSO (like Google).
In order to use it, you have to create users (and passwords) within the authelia yaml file, or connect it to light-ldap and do it via ldaps web gui.

You probably have other services running, i.e. immich, etc. These can be configured to use auhelias OIDC to authenticate the user against. you'd still need to create the users within the service, since I doubt they get auto-created.

Now, you can decide for yourself, whether to put your bitwarden behind authelia or not, and I'm not sure how the mobile apps work in this sense, if at all.

If you decide to do so, you just give your users their authelia/lightldap creds, if not, you additionally have to give them their bitwarden creds.

ad_on_is , 1 month ago

I'm almost degoogled, in the sense that no penny goes to them.

• I use Fastmail for mail/calendars
• Revanced/Smarttube for YT (no ads, no money)
• Immich instead of Photos

The only thing I can't really get rid of, is Google Maps.

ad_on_is , 1 month ago

yeah, I tried osmand, but the UI is just "meh"

ad_on_is , 1 month ago

The search is still bad, imho... If I search for a place, osmand doesn't show the address in the list. So, I'd have to go through each of the items to find the one that I'm looking for.

ad_on_is OP , 1 month ago

I haven't had much success with the arr-scripts, whereas with the lidarr:plugins + deemix I had.

I did not test it, but It should work, since it only pulls the albums, and is not involved in the download process at all.

Oh, and checks for existing ones, so there are no duplicates.

ad_on_is OP , 1 month ago

Regarding enriching MB. Honestly, I don't have time for that.

I'm from one of the slavic countries and there are so many missing albums, it'd take me a lifetime to contribute.

ad_on_is OP , 1 month ago

Yes! It should work :-D

ad_on_is , 2 months ago

Any specific reason why you'd want to go with NVMEs for your storage, and not just 2.5 SSDs?

If it's performance you're concerned about. I have 3 SSDs in RAID (external USB 3.2 JBOD enclosure), and they perform way better than a single NVME.

For minipcs, have a look at aliexpress. They tend to have the branded options much cheaper than amazon. Trigkey, minisforum, Beelink, etc.

ad_on_is , 2 months ago

I'm running mine successfully for the past few months and never had an issue. The only thing to make sure, is, that it passes the serial number through. In case it goes bonkers, you can just swap it.

ad_on_is , 2 months ago

I run a trigkey (AMD 5700u) as my NAS (unraid) and homelab, and a CW p-5 (N305) as my router (opnsense), and have no problems at all. So they for sure boot Linux and FreeBSD, which is 90% the case.

Unlike some old second hand, new hardware is more powerful and energy efficient.

ad_on_is , 2 months ago

name a feature...

No need to, they both have their place for sure... I don't know their features, and I probably don't even use most of them. but openwrt is solid enough for potato hardware, whereas opnsense is not. Also, my point was to show that both operating systems run on the aliexpress hardware, counteracting your claim that some systems don't boot.

ad_on_is , 2 months ago

I haven't updated bios on my main pc ever since I built it... so I think the concerns you're talking about are more hit than miss.

ad_on_is , 2 months ago

You're comparing apples to oranges here and this has literally nothing to do with the hardware that was mentioned in this thread. They all have soldered mobile CPUs. The N100, N305, 4700u, etc.

ad_on_is , 2 months ago

I'm sure if I dig deep enough, I might find threads like these for any hardware.

Just look at Apple. Their MacBook lineup has been a mess since 2016, and they are a "reputable" and overpriced non-aliexpress company.

And yes, you're fucked if you buy something from Ali and it turns out faulty. But you're also fucked if you buy second-hand. The risk of loss is equal.

ad_on_is , 2 months ago

yes, and that consistency is not guaranteed on the second-gand market either.

ad_on_is , 2 months ago

I'd argue that it certainly isn't. Possibly the previous owner ran it under heavy loads, constantly, resulting in a degrading of the components.

Or they themselves were unfortunate to receive a faulty unit that started to misbehave randomly, and are now selling it after the warranty period.

ad_on_is , 2 months ago

I too swapped my HDDs to SSDs recently, and while they're in an enclosure, connected via USB, with ZFS they perform way better than a single NVME.

ad_on_is , 2 months ago

I use the provided databases in the docker-compose file, since some services require a specific version and I'm too lazy to investigate whether it works on my existing service or not.

ad_on_is , 2 months ago

Oh man, just today I was messing around with flatpak, where I tried building webkit2, which took ages, or almost an hour (to be more specific).

And I was thinking to myself if that's what Gentoo feels like.

ad_on_is , 2 months ago

would you mind elaborating on the benefits? like what does one actually gain in a real-world scenario by having the software tuned to a specific machine?

disk space aside, given the sheer amount of packages that come with a distro, are we talking about 30% less CPU and RAM usage (give or take), or is it more like squeezing out the last 5% of possible optimization?

ad_on_is , 2 months ago

If you haven't, get yourself familiar with Docker and docker compose, and then use portainer to manage all your stuff. It's a lifesaver.

ad_on_is , 2 months ago

Alright...

I support free software, so anyone has easy access to great software and the opportunity to create amazing things and make another person's life better.

I also support gun rights, so anyone has easy access to guns and the opportunity to end another person's life.

ad_on_is , 2 months ago

I've mine on a separate VLAN that has no internet access. the only thing it is allowed to do is sending and receiving UDP packets on port 14447/14449 for hyperionLED. And that's about as smart as I allow it to be.

ad_on_is , 2 months ago

Wouldn't put pihole or any other mission critical network service on a Pi, unless there's some kind of fallback.

ad_on_is , 2 months ago

As some others mentioned, when the DNS goes down (which pihole is) your whole network is down. With the fragility (and slowness) of the PI, it'd be more likely it will go down, sooner than later.

Considering the cost, a good alternative, imho, would be some sort of thin client, with an energy efficient CPU. So, instead of getting 2-3 PIs, better get one of these TCs, while keeping your PI as a DNS backup solution.

ad_on_is , 2 months ago

couple of Pis are cheaper

Are they thou? In my region the 4Bs are selling at around 60 bucks (no case, no SD)... A "couple" of them (including some for backup and HA and Octoprint) would mean at least 4 of them, totalling at 240 bucks (or 300 with SD). For that money, one could get two (or even three) more-than-capable thin clients.

ad_on_is OP , 2 months ago

Yeah, I've heard about radicale. But the "merging" and sync still happens on the client side of things (Android). I was hoping for some kind of dockerized backend service that can bring together all the calendars. And the only thing I'd have to do is go into the backend, connect FM and google (or any other calendar) and link that (dockerized) service account on my phone.

ad_on_is OP , 2 months ago

but yeah, setting up davx5 with my fastmail account gives me exactly what I need. I can use the google calendar app to have my FM calendar fully integrated.
