I had 5 rounds of interviews for a Tier 1 IT job.

Fair, but if I’m technically violating TOS and CF tunnels aren’t working anyways, I might as well try it.

Didn’t work.

Gonna go to bed and kinda just hope this starts working and then try again after work when reality sets in.

I assume a Caddy set up would get me a URL? I might look into that.

unless you’re a neo Nazi

I hate being torn between my hatred of tech monopolies and love of seeing Nazis get their shit rocked.

I don’t know what that is. So no.

And obvious it’s all movies and TV shows I own that’s just conveniently ripped for sharing with friends and family :)

I’ll try swapping it to http unless you think I should run nginx or something to certify it. I don’t know if that will help.

The actual config uses

https://localhost:8096/

Not sure why I decided to “censor” it like that.

I’ll try swapping it to http:// and removing f2b for now.

I believe this is incorrect. I can’t find the forum post from Cloudflare but you cannot use the CDN to deliver video without paying for it, but you can use CF as a reverse proxy via Cloudflared to deliver video so long as you aren’t on the CDN

They even have blog posts on using Cloudflared for hobby video streaming projects like a RPi pet cam. Unless it’s assumed I have an enterprise account.

Unless you are an Enterprise customer, Cloudflare offers specific Paid Services (e.g., the Developer Platform, Images, and Stream) that you must use in order to serve video and other large files via the CDN. Cloudflare reserves the right to disable or limit your access to or use of the CDN, or to limit your End Users’ access to certain of your resources through the CDN, if you use or are suspected of using the CDN without such Paid Services to serve video or a disproportionate percentage of pictures, audio files, or other large files. We will use reasonable efforts to provide you with notice of such action.

I download the YouTube tutorials I followed, upload them to my UAT Jellyfin server, and then when my server is having issues I can’t get to the videos!

A flawless system really

I mean you can always use the web version of office for 'free" with a Microsoft account. There’s a 100% chance your paper gets used to train AI but still

The biggest perk for me for a dedicated NAS is redundancy and hot swap ability.

It is inevitable that a few of your spinning disks will die and need to be replaced, a proper dedicated NAS box will let you pop out and swap that drive and then the NAS software will rebuild the array for you with no data loss.

Obviously you can do most all of this with a normal desktop, but it’s generally easier with the right hardware.

I custom built mine running Truenas which was way cheaper then a dedicated NAS, but also I’m an IT turbo nerd so I wanted to do the whole thing myself.

Most of the address and numbers they do have are off or old.

I moved through a lot of places in college and one of those 5 are usually what shows up.

Now that I think about it I did used to sign up for a bunch of religious mailing lists before I would leave an apartment because I thought it was funny.

I ultimately agree with a lot of communism and as such I’m probably more likely to agree with the average Tankie than most people.

And with that disclaimer, yeah kinda it has aided them in doing that.

They created a reddit alternative that has a “default server” as it were. And they have the ability to admin that source of information to tailor to their specific ideological needs.

But is it effective in a grander scheme? That’s pretty debatable.

I want someone to prove his LLM can be as insightful and accurate as paid one.

Are you using LLMs as search engines?

Bold.

I use Gemma, LLama 3.2, and Deepseek to either fix formatting, summarize documentation to give me commands for Linux software, and write simple code structure for me to refine into working code.

Sure it takes longer to generate than a cloud compute would, but

1. privacy obviously. I know you dismissed it but that’s really the biggest reason anyone will have.

2. this feels better environmentally. I actually don’t know if that’s true, but it objectively touches less computers for such simple tasks. It would be wasteful of infrastructure to do it over the web.

3. it’s just cooler to have a conversation with my computer. I’ve learned a lot about how the whole process works and that’s more valuable to me as a non dev than just getting the end results.

Missed the lore.

Why boycott .ml ?

But what where you doing and which instance?

Everytime it was a “Wow. That’s neat!”

Proceeds to never do it again

My “production” home lab is 3 Optiplex 3050 with i7-7700. They work great and are pretty low power.

You got into Self Hosting for unreasonable ideological reasons

I got into self hosting to avoid AWS Fees

We are not the same
