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.

for Minecraft, it doesn't really matter, but don't allocate all of the RAM to it. Also make sure you're using proper JVM flags for it. Check out the PaperMC ones for a good starting point.
>>
>>107838893
For Minecraft specifically, good configs set the min and max allocations to the same value. So it will be static in practice.
Sidenote: You don't need a VM to limit the memory usage. Containers can do that too.

Is that the highest end model? That's like 30% slower than the M4 max and I know the 395 is around the same. (The 470 is irrelevant because AMD is skipping the high end this gen, again, for whatever fucking reason.)

Also snapdragon being almost competitive is surprising, too bad it's about to be eclipsed by M5 max and will also have zero software support outside of a dysfunctional windows port

Theme: [Accepting suggestions]

>Song submission rules/guidelines
Upload the file somewhere, preferably in a lossless format, and post the link here. If you want to update your track, make a new post.
Include the song title in the post, and make it clear that your song is a submission for the album.
Optionally you may include cover art for your track, but please confirm that the image in your post is the cover art or it won't be included. You may not use your real artist name.
Songs that contain anything against YouTube's policies won't be uploaded on YT, but will still be added to the album.
By default, tracks will be normalised to -14 LUFS (integrated loudness) in the release. You may specify a lower loudness for your track.
Use of AI is banned. This includes AI generated stems, samples, and effects. "AI" includes all neural network-based models and not hard-coded automation/procedural generation. You are allowed to ask an LLM about music-related questions, but asking it to give you musical ideas (eg. generating a chord progression) is already a no-no.

Stop listening to music on portable devices. It is satanic. You should be playing music instead, as in with real instruments, and ideally with other people. If you absolutely 100% cannot play music, then a home theater setup for occasional listening is fine. But do not listen on portable devices.

There's a lot of options, depends on what you're looking for. The cheapest and smallest you can get with alright sound quality are those generic S1 MP3 players that were everywhere 15-20 years ago. Still sold new on Ebay with expandable memory slots. I have an older revision with only 128MB onboard which I still use. Just get rechargeable NIMH AAA cells and you're good. Or get a Walkman.

For audiophile autism there are even more options with bizarre sounding names. The newer ones are all as big as smartphones and run lobotomized android, but if you look around you can find older, more sensibly sized models. FIIO X1 is a nice looking one.

Older English literature used the em dash a lot more than now but still somewhat sparingly. You can write very effective sentences with it which no other punctuation can fill in. I think pre 1990s high schoolers actually learned how to use it. Now few learn it so they never use it. I actually see people use ellipses more when an em dash was what should have been used, because public education never gets around to finer points of grammar

The Sovereign Tech Agency (Germany) funded $562,800 (half a million) worth of development on ALPM (Arch Linux Package Management) work. That work was focused, almost entirely, on creating “Rust libraries and tools” for Arch package management which “aims to maintain compatibility with pacman”. As of this moment, the Rust ALPM has not replaced Pacman entirely. But common sense would indicate that replacement is a goal (otherwise the heavily funded development would be nonsensical).

By the way, existing Arch package management tools (such as Pacman) are licensed under the GPL. The new, Rust-based libraries and replacements are licensed under the MIT license.

When did this algorithm shit take over, anyway? I've only ever used the subscriptions feed on youtube, and last time I had a twitter account (10+ years ago) it was common sense to just find people to follow and use the feed that actually shows every single one of their tweets sans replies.
But now apparently people use the slop feed (in both) that SOMETIMES shows shit from people you're subscribed to if it finds it worth showing to you specifically. How did it get to this point?

As someone who started with Win 95, 7 was easily the best of the series. My personal soulful favorite was ME toughever.

I have two external drives, one 20tb seagate HDD and one 2tb SDD that was scavenged from a laptop and put in housing. I want to preserve their data best I can. What is the easiest way to scrub the data to prevent bitrot/the data loss SSD is known for? Is there an application that makes it easy, or do I just have to do it with powershell?

Powershell or shell scripting is probably the easiest to maintain parity between 2 sets of data. But the crux of the problem is your source of truth is 1 drive. While magnetic media doesn't bitrot to the degree solid state does, it you want a minimum of protection from it you will need 4 drives.
If you have 1 drive, you loose
2 drives you can mirror, but you don't have a source of truth cause one drive can fail.
3 drives you will have a source of truth as long as all 3 keep working, when 1 fails though you can introduce bitrot while rebuilding.
4 drives will give you 100% protection assuming no more than 1 drive fails at a time, and more than 2 drives don't fail at the same time(that would cause array failure).

On top of that you need to run a copy on write file system, ZFS or BTRFS ideally in raidz2.

Last item to look into on your file storage system would be error correcting RAM. This will protect data in transit.

as for diffusion models, i generally see them as worthless, they often have the uncanny valley effect or something akin to that and as such is seen as soulless, there's also copyright issues (which involve every creative aspect and even coding as code is often of a particular license i.e. gpl) and artist protests which are their own cans of worms.

I have a wav file given to me by a cousin some time before 2000. I do not remember where the wave file is from. A movie or TV show or what.

I cannot ask my cousin because he committed suicide several years ago.

It's about 3 sentences long with a cartoony spaceship sound effect in the background.

the voice is somewhat cartoony sounding.

googleing any quote from the file turns up only me.

So I decide to give AI a go at it.
upload the file to gemini cuz whatever.
ask it to identify the source.
With absolute certainty and confidence it tells me it's from a game called Destiny.
