Woah, that looks pretty sweet. No, mine was definitely a lemmy post. I’ll have to look into this one since I actually stopped using my Amazfit band a while back.

I searched and couldn’t come across it again, sorry

I remember seeing someone mention wanting to set up a grafana dashboard from the data exported from gadget bridge. I’ll see if I can find it

Yeah, I only use Debian to host Docker images. My main desktop is Pop OS, but I’ve been pondering switching to Fedora or something similar.

Not home specific, but maybe Vikunja? It lets you have projects, and tasks due within those projects. I think its more tailored toward teams working on projecgaprojects though.

Are you looking to obtain sheet music, or scan in your existing sheet music?

Indeed, other than being able to get the model running, having decent hardware is the next most important part.

3060 12gb is probably cheapest card to get, 3090 or other 24gb card if you can get it

I just bought one to use as a Magic Mirror dashboard. I can’t think of any other real use for them other than as dashboards.

I like the Volumio idea though. You can set up a Music Assistant container and get a whole home audio setup without having to run a bunch of speaker wire. At my old place I had an Apple TV airplay movie audio into the kitchen so you wouldn’t miss any dialogue while you ran into the kitchen.

Edit: Really specific hypothetical. If they’re powerful enough to run Kodi, and you have a travel homelab with Jellyfin/Plex, I wonder if they could serve as a travel streaming stick 🤔

I find Lenovo makes the best ones in terms of expandability. Full size PCI-e is crazy on their ThinkCentres

There’s a youtuber that goes by the name Wolfgang’s Channel. He’s basically got a series on making on making efficient NAS’s.

Basically, in terms of watts consumed, it’s better to not have an HBA card installed since they can prevent the system from preventing lower C states when idle. Thus having a board with more SATA ports is better since you won’t need an HBA card.

Here’s a link to known power efficient setups.

If you still want to go the add in route, I think the consensus is that SATA add in cards aren’t as reliable as HBA cards, but HBA cards are more power hungry. Here’s a link to HBA add in cards’ power consumption.

Also, if you have HDDs, 5400 rpm drives consume less power than 7200 rpm drives.

At a certain point you’re spending more money than you save in your power bill, but I can’t deny that its fun making your build as efficient as possible.

I tried both and for some reason Baikal just played nicer. I’m sure either is fine though.

Nextcloud was too bulky for my needs.

As others are saying, OSMC might work. Most difficult part is making it so that the TV turns on when you turn on the computer since ARC isn’t a thing for most computers.

I ended up giving up on OSMC and bought an Apple TV since nothing else got the “wife approval” factor. It’s better than Google getting my data, has a Plex client, and let’s me stream my Steam library.

I have an RX6800XT and I use KoboldCPP to run models I download off of Huggingface.

I’m not sure how many tokens per second it generates, probably about 10?

If you want to try it yourself here’s a link to the Github page: https://github.com/LostRuins/koboldcpp

I don’t know what your - and your kid’s - situation is, but I worry pushing Linux onto someone would be counterproductive to getting them to like it.

I only use it because I genuinely like and appreciate it. I’d probably start by getting him interested in it. If he likes it enough then he’ll try and learn more by himself.

I recently got an LLM running locally on an AMD GPU. This was only possible on Linux. Depending on your son, something like that could be a cool way to get him interested.

Yeah. The icing is made with powdered sugar and tomato juice.

Honestly, it’s wild to me that I probably ate something that most people will go their whole lives without knowing it’s existence.

How do you mean teach?

Just getting them to use it or teaching them terminal commands?

Not yet, although not for lack of curiosity. I was busy at the time and then forgot about this.

Although, in case you’re curious, tomato cake is a thing I’ve made and it’s definitely different. I didn’t like it at first but I also ended up eating the whole thing over a couple days.

Thanks for reminding me of this curiosity though!

I always wondered why DMCA rubbed me the wrong way but couldn’t put it into words. This helped me pin down why. Thanks!

How about MS DOS though? That was also pretty good for its time.

I assume some will say they don’t want it to. I hope it does so more people are no longer giving money to giant social media companies, or being tracked by them.
