Sometimes you lose the forest for the trees

Tbh the only consoles I’ve been really interested in lately are the switch and steam deck, simply because they’re also mobile devices.

Uh, just to be clear, I think “AI” and LLMs/codegen/imagegen/vidgen in particular are absolute cancer, and are often snake oil bullshit, as well as being meaningfully societally harmful in a lot of ways.

This is a comically simple shibboleth. I’m not even sure you can even call it a shibboleth, actually, considering it’s just a simple screening for “I drink the NK kool-aid” lol

Nicely done! That’s pretty awesome :)

Though I should point out that it’s also not hard to lock down a windows install a bit more if you don’t make the default account an admin one. But moving to Linux is better imo for a whole host of reasons.

I’m pushing back on someone who’s themselves being dismissive and arrogant.

You need to understand that lemmy has a lot of users that actually understand neural networks and the nuanced mechanics of machine learning FAR better than the average layperson.

This resonates with me to a frustrating degree. I think it’s part of the professional disconnect my dad and I have - he’s an engineer too, but the foundation of his career was in the boom days of Silicon Valley, largely during the 80s and 90s

I’m in an apartment currently; the footprint I’m willing to allocate to a server amounts to a full-size ATX case, and a bunch of small ebay’d lenovo thin clients (plus a handful of rPi’s and similar SBCs). When I finally am able to get a house with some actual project space, I aspire to build something approaching your setup over time.

I’m gonna guess incremental increases over the years, and snapping up used enterprise stuff on fire sale. It’s actually pretty feasible to do if you know where to look for this stuff.

Ngl I am quite envious. That’s awesome.

Damn, what sort of connection are you running? I feel like you’d be getting throttled, assuming throttling isn’t strictly illegal (side note: genuinely, thank you, People’s Republic of Massachusetts ❤️)

lol yeah - I revised my comment from 10x to 20x after looking closer. You literally 20x’d me lol.

That is some thicc storage. Respect.

Holy shit, you’ve nearly 20x’d me 🫡

Self hosting isn’t likely to ever get to the point of “plug and play”. It’s inherently incredibly flexible and different people will do different things with it. Some people just want NAS. Some people want to build a router. Some people want to have a modest compute farm that they physically own. Some people want a virtualization playground. Or pretty much anything else you can think of, or some combination thereof.

For instance, I custom built a 2-tier + optane cached NAS running proxmox, and I have a handful of old thin clients I can spin up for doing Beowulf things when I feel like it, and I also have another repurposed thin client with an old enterprise-grade SFP+ NIC running pfSense as my router that can support up to 10g (futureproofing).
