You can’t see the video? If you can’t vpn it then I’ll post it elsewhere so you can see it.

You are me, 3 years ago! I’m diagnosed with ADHD and what you described is exactly how I felt when I was starting out. I even bought a RaspberryPi 4B+ CanaKit which sat in the box for over a year, just like you.

3 years later I have the Pihole, OPNsense router & firewall, Jellyfin, Traefik reverse proxy, and a bunch of other stuff too. My advice would be to start super small so you don’t feel overwhelmed. It is incredibly easy to get overwhelmed with all of this.

For what it’s worth, before I started hosting anything, I started with NextDNS. I just set up my iPhone and computers (then mac, now mostly linux) to use that service. It comes with super easy-to-use instructions and you can start for free. If you don’t like it, you can always just delete the account and it’ll be like you never used it at all. Very low risk but doing this will teach you about DNS. From there you can begin to move to a Pihole and Docker, if you’re comfortable.

Feel free to DM if you want. It’s a great community here and we’re all a pretty relaxed group.

I can’t even specify the allowed IPs for a connection

Funny. This was the exact use case which cemented my pf/OPN sense decision. I used to use pf, now use OPNsense. And as you probably know, the IP specificity issue is not just regarding Wireguard, it’s also regarding your reverse proxy, if you’re running one.

As an aside, I have OPNsense handling DHCP which broadcasts two PiHoles (redundancy) as the DNS to my networked machines/devices. Then for upstream DNS, I have those two piholes pointed at a dedicated technitium dns box – it’s it’s an authoritative dns server, not just a recursive one like unbound. As I said in my previous comment, there are probably better or fancier setups but this one, for my needs, is sufficient.

I’ve always been flummoxed by Ubiquity products. I’m no sysadmin but I understand my way around networking and I absolutely agree with your “halfway implemented” critique. I installed Ubiquity at my parents’ house so that I could more easily do remote troubleshooting when something their network goes down. But for myself, I just stick with OpnSense at home. It’s not perfect but it suits my needs.

This was a fun writeup to read. Thanks for taking the time to post it.

This also made me chuckle. 10/10 comment.

Today, a quick visit to Symbolics.com will take you to what is essentially a web-based museum. In 2009, the domain was acquired by Aron Meystedt, a startup investor and founder of Napkin.com.

I always thought Marissa Meyer and Kathy Wood should have started a cryptocurrency together. Missed opportunity.

This was poorly executed. The National Park Service twitter account does jokes well.

You should ask @brucethemoose@lemmy.world. He seems to know all about this stuff.

I was thinking about setting it up. What clients do you recommend for iOS and tvOS?

There’s a spambot posting referral links so I made it a shitpost.

I don’t think it is. Sorry. The benefit of doing this is that if you have to reinstall Jellyfin or move your media library around at a later date, you’ll never have to worry about mis-identification in the future.

You want The Movie Database or The TV Database. Not IMDB. Once you renamed your folders and files properly, just rescan your library.

In order to help with identifying a series, Jellyfin can make use of media provider identifiers. This can be specified in your show’s folder name, for example: Series Name (2018) [tmdbid-65567] or Series Name (2018) [tvdbid-65567] (imdbid is not supported for shows)

Open WebUI now has a docker environment variable so you can, by default, turn off the login page. You just declare it when you’re spinning up the container and you’re good to go.

That’s really smart. I just found out about fabric yesterday and it is helping me with things like what you stated. Prompt engineering is a huge thing.

I’m sorry if I offended. I can’t code or understand existing code and have always felt that technical people code. I guess I should expand my definition. Again, sorry that my words felt like a punch in the gut… wasn’t my intention at all.

I use my phone all the time, but I just use a wireguard VPN to tunnel into my home container of Open WebUI. Then I can interact with my desktop machine using a NVIDIA gpu. I’m currently testing mistral-nemo. It’s pretty great but it gets a bit verbose sometimes.

This made me smile. Thank you. The grass is always greener and I sometimes daydream of working in IT instead of healthcare. Maybe someday.

It’s so great that there is so much ongoing development of these types of tools out there. I’m currently using openweb ui as my GUI but I’ll give your suggestion a try next week. I haven’t figured out a use case for stable diffusion except for creating new content for the shitposting community on lemmy lol. But if you have any ideas, please let me know… I’d love to test it out if I have a good use case.

Yeah, I have an NVDIA GPU and it is magic. The best part is when you are using Ollama, open a second terminal window and enter the command, watch -n 0.5 nvidia-smi and you can see your GPU usage go up and down in real-time as you ask the GPT questions. Pretty cool.

Hopefully they get the ARC folks up and running soon.
