READ THE (temp)WIKI! & help by contributing:
https://igwiki.lyci.de/wiki/Home_server

/hsg/ is about learning and expanding your horizons. Know all about NAS? Learn virtualization. Spun up some VMs? Learn about networking by standing up a OPNsense/PFsense box and configuring some VLANs. There's always more to learn and chances to grow. Think you’re god-tier already? Setup OpenStack and report back.

>What software should I run?
Install Gentoo. Or whatever flavor of *nix is best for the job or most comfy for you. Jellyfin/Emby/Plex to replace Netflix, Nextcloud to replace Googlel, Ampache/Navidrome to replace Spotify, the list goes on. Look at the awesome self-hosted list and ask.

>Why should I have a home server?
De-botnet your life. Learn something new. Serving applications to yourself, your family, and your frens feels good. Put your tech skills to good use for yourself and those close to you. Store their data with proper availability redundancy and backups and serve it back to them with a /comfy/ easy to use interface.

>remove pihole cause some random sites or services dont work cause it blocks them and you have to go in and filter it out
not that anon but i have AdGuardHome and enforce it at a network level for a specific VLAN/subnet used for devices i dont trust, like roombas, eufy security shit, roku TVs, etc and so far havent had an issue but i guess it depends on what devices you think it hinders networked services for
Is there a specific type of device you have found to break when enforcing an Ad-blocking DNS?
>>
>>108504196
I didnt have vlans enabled. I just had it on for my entire house internet. But it would randomly block some stuff and I would have to go in and check where the filter is so I can whitelist it. Was a pain. So I got rid of it. I also realized it was redundant. My browser guard does more than enough.

some people can't do this either. so what?
your post is just the usual cope about "not really thinking because it's predicting tokens", that doesn't mean squat if it achieves the results that you're looking for.
LLMs aren't human, or conscious, but they are intelligent and capable of many things. If that isn't valid then neither are you.

I'm pretty confident that any human past the age of 6 can learn to read a clock, or pass ARC-AGI. Just because they don't bother to doesn't mean they can't.

>>108490110 hits on a nugget of truth. If AI is a significant productivity multiplier it means one of several possibilities:

1. It makes you 10x better purely because you suck so bad as a baseline, bringing you in parity with everyone else. In this case they don't need to use the tools to outperform you, and your relative position in the job market is mostly unchanged. You are not a threat to your peers.

2. You are not terrible, but anyone that was already a better technologist than you will naturally be better at leveraging the tools anyway. This means their productivity multiplier will be even bigger than yours and on a higher baseline. Best case scenario you stay at the same relative position in the job market. Worst case you get totally outcompeted in a way that no amount of first-mover advantage will save you. Again, not a threat to your peers.

3. The tools are AGI and you no longer are able to move high enough in the value chain to be worth anything in the job market.

You do not win in any scenario

>I'm pretty confident that any human past the age of 6 can learn to read a clock
Nope, they can be retarded or have a genuine disability. My point is that a difference in their brains makes them unable to perform a task that appears very simple to normal people. Naturally, llms will have many examples of this because they're not human at all.
>Stockfish can btfo humans in chess which was long considered a marker of intelligence. Is stockfish intelligent?
It is, at chess. Not AGI at all obviously because that's all they're good for. Thinking skill in one area is representative of intelligence as a whole is a typical human mistake, and believing that we're unique or exemplary is another one.

My daughter pleasured herself in front of Gemini Live with the camera. My entire family have had our Google accounts banned.

She's 14 and stupidly decided to try and roleplay with Gemini using its live camera mode. The AI correctly identified she was underage and Google banned all my accounts.
She did it on the family tablet. It has parental controls to stop her watching inappropriate stuff, but we didn't realise Gemini wasn't covered by these.
ALL of our entire family's Google accounts were linked to that tablet. Google banned them all.
Everything gone. 15 years of business completely inaccessible.
All my emails, all my documents saved in Google Drive.
Even my website was linked to my Google account and that's been locked down too.
We've written to Google and begged for it to be reinstated but they've said all the accounts have been shut down for child protection reasons.
I don't know how I'm going to pay my mortgage in 3 months time. I've literally lost ALL my records for my accountant. My company year ends in May.
My whole life is completely fucked.
Is there any legal mechanism I can use to get all my google accounts back?

Is anyone else feeling technology fatigue lately? Hardware prices have skyrocketed, software seems to get worse with each passing day, and endless flame wars over operating systems just add to the noise. On top of that, electricity costs keep climbing, while the overall quality of products feels like it’s steadily declining. What’s even more frustrating is how people use technology nowadays. Mostly for passive consumption. Scrolling, watching, tapping… repeat. You rarely come across something genuinely creative or interesting anymore. With each passing day, the urge grows stronger to ditch technology entirely and vanish into the woods.

a "midweight" linux distro like picrel is perfectly fine for 8GB or even 4GB of ram under linux, i think lubuntu - supposedly "light ubuntu" - is around the same ram usage on idle

the truly lightweight stuff is for computers from the 2000's or very low end stuff from the 2010's, which often struggle with basic web browsing but may be able to cope with antix. If you have something from the early 2000's forget about web browsing entirely as your CPU likely lacks SSE2, which are required by web browsers. If you have something from between 2005 and 2015 you may lack h265 and other codecs but may be able to get by with software video decoding on youtube and watching lower res h265 videos

If you manually install a desktop on any distro (switching from an existing one) then you're potentially going to have a bad time. Best to make a new user account or just deal with the fallout (it's mostly crap like GTK themes and settings, etc, which is nothing that can't be fixed).

an object store is like a flat filesystem where you dump everything with associated UUIDs. there's no structure to it inherently which allows you to build different filesystem structures on top of it because metadata is stored in the same way as data
>>
>>108503594
so the mass storage is manage like one big heap by some allocators but instead of pointers you have UUIDs?
but how do you find the location of objects by their UUIDs, is there a huge hashtable/binary tree or something?
and what's the granularity of objects that have a UUID? only filesystem-like object have one? files and directories? file chunks?
>>
>>108503696
>but how do you find the location of objects by their UUIDs, is there a huge hashtable/binary tree or something?
i'm sure the implementation varies but some sort of lookup table
>and what's the granularity of objects that have a UUID? only filesystem-like object have one? files and directories? file chunks?
anything. the point is it doesn't matter to the store what is stored in it so the meaning of each object is completely up to a higher level filesystem stored on top of it. obviously there are performance implications to how you divide things up.

Recently I had a reference visit at one of our customers that deals with industrial automation, think programming PLCs and what not
there I had opportunity to ask about their job and one team, two guys to be exact, were developing logic for some smelting machine, I asked them how do they test it to make sure their solutions are working/are optimal. It turns out they do NOTHING in terms of developing logic itself, they just implement whatever requirements their customer sends them.
They literally have a fucking PDF of some graphical sequence algorithm, like those you learn on day 0 of CS and they just translate that already step-based logic to step-based blocks in PLCs
and it takes them a fucking month, PDF with 40-50 pages where each page is just a big rectangle with some step definitions and it takes two of them a month to implement it an that's not even including tests, which by the way are the most retarded manual busy work imaginable since they have to manually go through the procedure and test if everything works as stated, they don't even test for illegal input states or what-if-something-goes-wrong scenarios

Is life really that easy in PLC land?

I was a PLC programmer (and electrical project manager) and I have to say those guys are retarded.
Everything we did at my work was tested and the logic was all made by hand, unless the client really wanted to use some kind of standardised logic they already had. It was not unusual for very complex machines that had very tight timing requirements and extremely low cycle times to be programmed with plenty of direct accesses to memory, pointers a plenty, etc.
And the testing was firstly virtual and then on the machines themselves.
Sometimes we had to do everything in two weeks.
The focus is on security and not doing the job well too, it’s much worse if a machine kills someone than if it simply works badly, by the way.
I got out because of the pay.

>>108502773
PLCs are the way they are because they can have a lifecycle of decades and customers will pay the PLC premium to know they can get spare parts in 30 years. A single standalone piece of equipment can be simple to replace with a raspberry pi or aruduino, but those levels of PLCs cost like 400 bucks and often have free software. Often you can go completely analog with relay control at that level but PLCs are just simpler to install and troubleshoot. PLCs have a whole ecosystem of motor controllers, sensors, robots, etc that can be integrated seamlessly enough that the price tag makes sense. Its the same reason chinkshit PLCs are rare in the US despite being cheap and available.

Pure PLC programmers are actually pretty rare, I spend most of my time dealing with the non PLC parts of the machines and on integration with the SCADA system.

I make less than the real programmers I know that got in before 2020 but more than the ones that got in after that and are flipping burgers
