Best Practices Editionprevious: >>107761293READ 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.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>107826899ok, i retract my comment
>>107826820Will do. It's from aliexpress and I'm not sure I've got the right datasheet, but I think it's 7.5mm minimum and 15mm for lower loss.>>107826881Thanks, that's encouraging.>>107826828Meh. It'd be a lot of effort for something I'd need to undo.
>>107815771>you actually need to test your backups.had a client that their backup failed.every day they would put a tape in, take the old tape that had popped out and take it off site.next day repeat.server crashes.we come in and have to fix it.we did not setup the backup and they never wanted us to test it.found out that every day when the backup started it failed (can't remember why), and the tape would be ejected. no notification.It's been so long I can't remember if the drive failed, or the tapes failed or what but they had no backup for something like 2 years. the only backup they had was an old server that used to be their server and they had just unplugged it and put it aside.I was never so happy to not have to deal with the restore.
>>107827047How do you test a backup procedure without downtime?
>>107827059do a backup.include a large folder with random data.perform a backup.then perform a restore to the same location and a different one. if all that works then most likely the backup will work.no one ever verified that the backups had ever taken place.very few clients ever wanted to test doing a full restore.
What is this ssd size supposed to be?This is clearly not recular NVMe, right?(HP Elitebook 840)
>>107826710it's known as white ssd
>>107826825>However, the middle hole is for screwing down right?Yea, most likely one of two supported positions/sizes of m.2, with the hole right left of it being the other.>So what are the connectors on the right?Aren't they the actual contacts?
>>107827026If you gave us the exact model number (generation) we could tell you exactly what size it supports.
>>107827086Pretty sure that's an SD card reader
>>107827087It's the Elitebook 840With nothing added to it. Just Elitebook 840

>>107799788Why Do You.Type Like This,Are You Retarded.
Installed Linux for the first time in 10 years. And maybe this time I will stay.
>>107799788Doesn’t work with Nvidia cards.
>>107799788There are no good distros. There is hardly any good software. It's all gay and retarded.
>>107820438When a /g/tard even mentions slackware in a positive light in 2026, you know they are on Windows.
Is it worth to get into coding in 2026?I have zero experience with coding, and have no idea where to start nor what language to pick.
I'm a DevOps engineer and I can only script in BASH, not to a very high level too. Yes, really. I do make great money though, but mostly I got very, very lucky with my job and if I am to find another I probably need to be a better DevOps. Should I learn python, /g/ bros? I'm already improving my bash skills, but feel like I need something else too.
>>107820724For a job? No, it is not worth it. The industry is trash; computing has not produced anything actually useful in over 20 years. Almost everybody that works in the industry now is either retarded or fake or burned out and doesn't care anymore.For some other purpose? Maybe, but use case matters. I could see some useful knowledge in learning C and using it to program an MCU that drives some other purpose in the physical world.I wish that I'd picked something else. I am now going back to school to get an engineering degree in some other engineering field because I am tired of fake non-technical execufags treating devs like an expense that needs to be cut.Our society has lost touch with understanding the technologies that matter, instead we are just all staring at screens while the real technologies that drive civilization break down.TLDR: Any job which does not have a hands-on component that requires you to come on-site is trash and will just get outsourced to jeets.
>>107824952Agreed. Honestly programming is fun and a great skill to have, but I'd go with engineering as well. I regret not studying electrical or mechanical engineering way back and opted for compsci which I didn't even finish, because I got a job in the field as a sysadmin and my career went from there. I am doing well now, but definitely regret it. Is it worth pursuing engineering in your 30s?
>>107825016I personally believe that it is worth pursuing an engineering degree AT ANY AGE and especialy worth pursuing one if you truly plan to go all the way by working in the field and aim for becoming licensed PE in that field as the ultimate goal. https://ncees.orgIf said engineering field DOES NOT have a PE designation, then no it is not engineering it is fake.

a keyboard which looks like 1890s typewriter by the shape of its keys but on the other hand the color theme is from 1980s Keytronic keyboards which were popular PC keyboard in Europehttps://muropaketti.com/tietotekniikka/tietotekniikkauutiset/nostalgiannalkaan-olisi-nyt-tarjolla-kirjoituskonetta-muistuttava-nappaimisto/THIS typewriter look-a-alike USB-C keyboard has one weird trick: it has a small speaker innit. When enabled (there is switch on the back to enable or disable) the speaker plays typewriter key-hit sound everytime you hit a key, with a 0.5 second delay or so, its not exactly simultaenous with a key hit and it wasnt simultaneous in a mechanical typewriter in 1890 either.The reason for disabling it because some people may not like the idea or at least dont like it when typing late at night with some neighbors behind thin walls.Typewriter had mostly the same keys as a PC keyboard except it didnt have function keys, this typewriter replica of course has function keys because they are quite important on PC.Can you write Finnish/Estonian/Swedish with it? Not easily as it doesnt have keys for ä,ö,ü, å, ũ.
>>107824212I was looking for a typewriter-like keyboard a few months ago. They're either too expensive or too cheaply made, and most are 80-100 keys. I need a full keyboard.This gimmick of speakers to mimic the clicks sounds absolutely retarded. Just put loud mechanical keys.
>>107824212the schWHACK of a letter hitting paper can't be replicated, chuddies
>>107824212cool.I had used a real typewriter at my gramps house. Was fun.
>>107824212>Not easily as it doesnt have keys for ä,ö,ü, å, ũ.it's trash then

>>107825829It's 50% ragebaiting and 50% actual retardation.You shouldn't actually use 4chan to factually discuss things.
>>107826922where do you go then ? i'm a total brainlet but i'm super interested i'm super scared to ask questions where do i go if i have retarded questions ? people tell me don't use ai but if i've got a question asking people who are 50's/60's and who are willing to answer to a retard where do i go?
>>107826936>i'm super scared to ask questions where do i go if i have retarded questions there's literally a general for that: >>107820851
>>107826916why are you mad at the truth? is it because you are an ultra faggot?
>$950 starting priceI don't feel so good Steambros...Valve messed up big time on this one.
>>107825978It matters when there's a benchmark that proves it. Just a few years ago going from 5800X to 5950X made absolutely no sense for gaming and as far as I know people haven't started recommending 2 CCD chips for that purpose yet. Besides, if something is going to tank performance on the cube and make PS5 look good by comparison, it's going to be that mid GPU.But Steam has more games than PlayStation so hardware is not the whole story anyway.
>>107825596prior to the normalisation of the 90 series, the 80 equivalent were the enthusiast choice cards; the sli setups were dimishing returns things for retards.that diminishing return retardo option simply doesn't exist now.the gap between the 80 and the 90 cards is very real and feels generational in nature.yes you can run your games on your 70 and 80 cards, but the performance difference b/w those and the 90s is large enough that you're practically being served bargain bin cards at flagship prices.
>>107815969yeah dude valve is doing it for FREE. its charity. theyre actually a charity organization. thats why they make all of their money from letting children gamble.i cant believe valve is so charitable they want to give us stuff at a loss. theyre just so great

what is the modern obsession with adding charging circuits to everything? everything used to have a battery that you took out to charge. now every single glowstick and whirlygig has a charger built in and youre stuck with the shitty battery soldered to it.
>>107824201they got cheap and smalli still think you should have both: charging circuit and a way to quickly swap batteries especially if its a thing that can fit a standard battery size (18650, 10440)
>>107826153Yeah usually it's not soldered in, it's just that the entire surface of the battery is literally glued in ;)
>>107826934hey idiot. I didn't say I use it, I said I can get batteries for it.
>>107826943>i still think you should have both: charging circuit and a way to quickly swap batteriesyea i cant disagree with that, problem is they just added charging circuits to everything and no way to swap anymore
>>107826988personally i use these. they take standard lion batteries. charge from usb, output power over usb and have 3V,5V,9V pads to solder to. if you're out you can both swap out the battery for a fresh one or plug it into usb charging. ive put it on my fpv drone tracking antenna system it powers the drone tracker and a raspberry pi i use to to convert tracking data.for electronics big enough to fit you should use these but for small/flat stuff like laptops/phones i kinda get why theyre going with nonstandard batteries. i think something like the fairphone headphones do it well to where its not a standard battery but you can easily swap it or mod it to use any li-ion battery.https://www.youtube.com/shorts/ASc8sa5O2ikhowever most things with Li Ion will have a battery last so long that plugging it in occasionally is no issue and hotswapping batteries would not be needed. and if you do run out you can always connect a battery bank and use it while charging. this often simplifies design as you dont need parts that open up where you can put batteries in/out that can have points of failure.

>>107826791>It probably installed the GTK one in addition to the GNOME one that was already there and the GTK one takes priority for some reason.yeah that was my immediate thought however i don't think that is the case since in the case of arch linux at least the gnome portal depends on the GTK one and I've had gnome installed since day 1.Really odd behavior anyhow

These services need to increase adoption to survive, but most users can't see what the cutting edge models are capable without paying upfronttraditionally this problem is resolved by trial periods or upfront free credits. There's a huge problem with this. There's a legion of millions of thirdworlders, mostly Indians, abusing free trials and credits bleeding these services dry of compute.I have a behind the scenes view of how bad this problem is. I know that it's costing one smaller company tens of millions of dollars, and I can extrapolate from that, that it's costing the industry billions. It's a huge problem and these companies don't know what to do. For every legitimate user free access brings in, there's ten users abusing it. Some companies are beginning to close out trial periods but their new users are falling off a cliff. They're fucked either way.
>>107826302normalize local models. these companies deserve to die
I use daily free computrons on huggingface but it's not worth the hassle of getting a paid account for a mere 8x increase of computrons.It's not worth the hassle of getting any paid service on the Internets until the yanks kill off Visa and Paypal.

>>107826779Some like search just use haiku. frankly for things like reading logs or parsing text it should just use haiku or sonnet there is no reason to have opus involved it just makes it take longer.
>>107826568Very nice, thank you for going into it. That does look easier to integrate into a lot of workflows.
I have created my first skill/mcp. Or rather Claude did. It lets Claude use AMD’s compressonator tool so I can compress and generate mipmaps for images via Claude. Later I’m going to expand it to parse a gltf file and compress all relevant images to ktx2, a tedious task I’ve been doing manually.
>>107826779i think one of the recent patch notes has something about subagents not inheriting the parent model. anecdotally mine is all just opus and haiku so i guess i've never run into that
I don't have a good grasp of how good the vision model in claude is, sometimes i have it write up python code to do analysis with opencv/etc, sometimes i just feed it images. I once tried to get it to do some webdev shittery aligning cards and players in a cardgame and it did pretty badly which is why i'm suspect on itit's kino that you can shore up its own faults using itself though
