Snippet: Adding this into homelab because I think it's at least relevant and maybe some will find it interesting, mostly copied over from r/LocalLLaMA . Not everybody will want to read the whole thing, that's perfectly fine, the extras are just for those who want the info. A little background: I am an IT infrastructure engineer by profession, so I mainly coming from a hardware/systems perspective rather than from a dedicated …

Snippet: I've been out of these forums for awhile but I figured I would provide a formal update on how this has been going now that it has some operation time under its belt, just to put the information out there and share knowledge if there is any interest. I also wasn't satisfied with the quality of my original post so I will probably remove it and let this one serve as its replacement. I am an IT infrastructure engineer by…

Snippet: My current homelab setup has started feeling a bit messy. I want to free my main laptop from server workloads and keep it focused on work and mobility, while moving 24/7 compute, storage, and ai tasks to another machine. My daily driver for work and coding is a legion 5 pro with an rtx3070. The 8gb vram uickly becomes limiting for local ai tasks, and I dont want to keep my laptop running 24/7. Alongside it, I run a d…

Snippet: Half a year ago I started Codeman to learn how open-source collaboration really works: issues, PRs, feedback from strangers, building in public. 1,500 commits and 14 contributors later it just crossed 500 stars, and community feedback has shaped a lot of what it is today. So here's what we ended up building: Codeman runs AI coding agent CLIs in persistent tmux sessions on your own box and streams the real terminals t…

Snippet: Ran DeepSeek V4-Flash-0731 — the full official checkpoint, not a re-quant — on commodity used hardware. Sharing because I couldn't find anyone else publishing Ampere results for this engine. Edit / update: a commenter called out that hybrid CPU-GPU posts always publish decode and never prefill. Fair hit — I didn't have it. I do now, it's in a new section below, and it's the number that decides what this box is actual…

Looking at this unending list of preprints is as if you stepped into a crowded room, like the stock trading floor on wall st. in the 1980s. Everyone is shouting over each other.

Snippet: Thinking about repurposing an old smartphone instead of buying a Pi or mini PC for my homelab. On paper it's tempting — CPU, RAM, storage, Wi-Fi, even a built-in battery/UPS. Before I try it, want to hear from people who actually have: How locked-down is Android/iOS for running server stuff (Docker, Pi-hole, Jellyfin, Home Assistant)? Do you need root/custom ROM to make it usable? No Ethernet port — is Wi-Fi-only (or…

Snippet: So I am new to the DevOps field and my job is to deploy an app on premises. Now the problem is that the material I have read, such as: "Fundamentals of DevOps and Software Delivery" by Yevgeniy Brikman "Road to Kubernetes" by Justin Mitchel focuses mainly on cloud based deployment, which I do not want to use. To clarify, I already have the necessary servers, but for privacy reasons, I would prefer not to disclose too…
