  • About time this hit enterprise.

    Been saying the downfall of OpenAI and Anthropic will be local models that can accomplish the same thing without needing a dstacenter worth of GPUs to run.

    Plus you have no total token limit on self hosted models. You can let a slop agent run for weeks without ballooning costs or getting rate limited.

    And no model censoring, so you can go build that nuclear bomb you always wanted lol.

    Both AI giants are already losing a ton of money because their pricing isn’t viable for the amount of training they’re doing trying to be on top. If they readjust, they’re gonna suffocate against much cheaper solutions.







  • Uh no, most if not all of the paid indexers are not worth it compared to just waiting for an open invite from a quality one.

    Not even the gold tier quality ones allow paid entry AFAIK. They only allow people who are long time seeders and uploaders with reputation.

    The one thing you might have to pay for is a VPN in case you want to torrent on public indexers, which is often worth it because not everything will end up on private indexers, and you usually have to wait a couple of months before you can join a solid private indexer.


  • I can trip the measly 15 amp breaker by drawing 1.5kW on two servers + turning on an amplifier that is somehow on the same circuit despite being in a different room quite far from where my servers are lol.

    On average though I only draw like 350W. The huge spike only happens if I run a miner/llm on both of my servers or the during the startup spike.

    The 1kW chunk comes from some RTX Quadro 6000s which each eat 250W each when maxxed out.

    EDIT: Want to mention that most machines report their power draw (from mobo) without IPMI, so you can use your favorite stats collector use it to form a rough estimate of kWh total in case you don’t have a proper meter that records usage.





  • I don’t want to run a separate database or anything complex, so things like Immich or Photoprism are not an option.

    Why not just use podman and let it handle itself? Unless you’re planning on hosting like maybe several million photos, I doubt you would ever need to manually set up a DB.

    Just download the compose file, add your photo directory paths to it, and let it start and never think about it again until you feel like updating for some new feature months later.


  • He was thrown in jail for challenging the Military’s relationship of sucking Uncle Sam’s foreign policy demands and now the nation is so broke that they’re selling fake military alliance deals to forgive all the insane loans they took out from their surrounding neighbors after the immediiate economic fallout.

    All while also pretending to be a relevant faction in the Iran war.

    Imran Khan was probably the greatest ace card Pakistan had to reverse decades of systemic failure in development and the Army threw it all away so some general could run his papa john’s pizza franchises in America with stolen Pakistani tax money.



  • If its internal network traffic only, you can just use stalwart and add the DNS records to your network so that stuff can use SMTP.

    Otherwise, (also with stalwart or your preferred software), you will want to use an SMTP relay so that outgoing messages will be delivered without the hassle of getting your domain reputational enough for sent messages not getting junked by the big email providers.

    I’m extra lazy and haven’t set this up, so I just have a public mail server that only receives messages because my outgoing SMTP port is blocked by my ISP.




  • I love opening these posts to see a wave of garbage europeans who would turn around and claim they have best free speech and nonsecularist nations in the world.

    For all of America’s insane faults, it is ironic that the first amendment is still something a majority of the EU has failed to match, and is often surpassed by plenty more third world countries and actual warzones.

    These same people were defending France’s pool swimwear law banning full cover swimwear and water proof headscarves.
