Snippet: Hi Audio Engineers, I want to sound treat an area in my house with the purpose of voice recording. Before sinking lots of money on potentially bad ideas or information I wanted to ask your guys opinions on the treatment plan.

Snippet: Hey everyone, Sharing the storage topology diagram for my primary Proxmox node ("Tesseract"). I spent a few months planning this layout to balance data integrity, power efficiency, and hardware constraints, and it's been running rock-solid and self-sustaining for a couple of months now. The Problem I Wanted to Solve: I didn’t want a single, monolithic ZFS RAIDZ2 pool for everything. Having 6 spinning disks wake up an…

Snippet: I basically replaced old phone with a new phone because my display got bad. My old phone is Moto g62 5g - a little low end mobile for performance) but it was staying idle just because some display damage. so I figured why not use it for my private files or file system, you know large files like movies or whatever. then I thought maybe I can use it as server, so that where ever I go I have extra space to work with. So…

Snippet: This is from the Saturday performance, the second from last in Canada before the team takes a sabbatical while the RCAF procures the Pilatus PC-21 (CT-157 Siskin II in RCAF service). About 2/3 of the way through the 9-ship show, Snowbird 9 in the foreground had to abort and land. We didn't hear what the problem was, but it obviously was enough that it couldn't continue. That's the 3rd time that has happened while I w…

Bot probability: Low (20%)
Snippet: OpenAI’s decision to retire custom GPTs appears to rest on the assumption that Plugins, Skills, Projects, Apps, and Workspace Agents collectively replace their functionality. For many Small and Medium-sized Business and Enterprise customers, they do not. I run HR and Responsible AI for a global nonprofit and also help organizations learn to use AI effectively. I am not a software developer. Neither are most of the pe…

Snippet: Automating HuggingFace model delivery to EFS on EKS what's your approach? Setup One EFS filesystem (~3 GB) holding HuggingFace sentence-transformer snapshots as a flat / / tree. Mounted by four workloads across three EKS clusters – two GPU inference services (~107 pods in prod, HPA'd on spot GPU nodes), a small embedding API, and some batch jobs.

Bot probability: Low (10%)
Snippet: source here: https://www.langchain.com/blog/building-a-harness-with-jev Looks like its a proprietary foundational model different from the LLM paradigms. While its exact architecture is unknown, one can make educated guesses about its components and how it's trained. What seems interesting is that the probabilistic output is naturally much more friendly for quant finance applications than LLMs. Would we expect large …

Snippet: There's a data point I recently just saw today and I think it's being badly misread, and the misreading matters if you're trying to work out where the AI money goes from here. Vercel's AI Gateway, which routes real production traffic for a lot of developers, showed open weight models hitting about 78% of token volume on September 18, up from roughly 11% in April and 62% in late August. Closed models, the paid APIs fr…

Snippet: I've been working on a massive project for the better part of a year now, and it's been iterative with many improvements made along the way, but recently I decided to take a step back and evaluate how the full book of strategies operates and how to improve the process going forward so I can backtest new ideas, variants on existing strategies, etc. and I came up with an analogy that I like.

Snippet: After loosing data a few times through sheer stupidity, I decided to give Longhorn a try. My conclusion : If you want a simple and lightweight solution for small clusters to make your data more resilient on kubernetes, Longhorn provides you with all of your basic needs. Nonetheless, for bigger clusters and more complex operations, longhorn fails to scale and lacks features. As always I wrote a detailled guide coverin…

Snippet: Hi everyone, I’m interested in learning more about networking and understanding what I can actually control and configure on my own network. I’ve been using my ISP-provided router, but I’ve realized that its web administration interface is quite limited for experimenting and learning. Instead of only changing settings through the ISP router’s web interface, I decided to get a cheap router (cudy tr1200 v1) and install…

Snippet: Hi everyone, After several years of using Plex, I finally got tired of having to pay for the subscription and decided to give Jellyfin a try to see how it works. I have a Proxmox server with a small VM dedicated to Plex, on which I also installed Jellyfin alongside it for testing. Very quickly, I ran into a cache issue. By default, without any configuration, Jellyfin started filling the boot disk of the small VM with…

Snippet: For the past year, I've been working on an in-browser document and 3D preview engine so our backend wouldn't have to keep running headless LibreOffice. If you've ever had to handle user-uploaded documents—especially legacy Office files or engineering CAD drawings—you know the existing options: Spin up LibreOffice or Unoconv in Docker, which hogs memory, spawns zombie processes, and randomly crashes on malformed files…

Snippet: Hi all! I hope my project Containarr might be useful to some of you, so that's why I'm sharing it here. I like self-hosting, but never really enjoyed the tools needed to manage it all. My previous stack was Nginx Proxy Manager, Portainer, Watchtower, Dynamic DNS; just to run a few apps. I'm quite opinionated on how my homelab should operate. This is what I wanted: Every service needs a https:// .mydomain.com , like h…

Snippet: Hi all, I've finally got all the hard drives for my DXP 4800+ NAS (3x 8tb WD Red HDD, 1x 1tb WD Blue SN5100 SSD) and am prepping my media library to transfer to the new hard drives. I'm reading conflicting advice and would appreciate any clarity so I'm not waffling on this forever. Should metadata/images for media files be stored alongside the files or separately on the SSD? My main goal is to use the HDDs as "archiv…

21. How are you handling "lightweight" deployments for smaller projects where full CI/CD is overkill?

Bot probability: Low (28%)
Snippet: Hey everyone, In smaller teams or client agencies, setting up full CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, etc.) can sometimes feel like overkill for simple staging servers. In my experience, devs often resort to manually SSHing into servers, running git pull, and triggering builds manually—which is slow and error-prone. I'm currently building an open-source, 1-click deployment dashboard to automate this workflow a…

Snippet: Rebuilding self-hosted observability on EKS after two earlier attempts. Is this topology a mistake before I stamp it out six times? Context We have six internal teams, and they could grow, each with their own AWS account, logs, and metrics. Our previous generation ran the entire stack on ECS (one dedicated stack per team), and it got expensive. However, the bill turned out to be an issue of sizing rather than topolog…

The IRC server is running on UnrealIRCd, and since I thought that wasn’t quite enough, I also programmed my own moderation bot to deal with offensive nicknames and words in channels. I also created a TriviaBot with more than 1,000 tri…
