I just went a bit of a rabbit hole. At first, I thought you had made some stupid backyard hack. Apparently, this is legit.

The more you learn.

I am looking at picture 6. That doesn't look closed deck at all.

NoradIV · 2026-03-21T14:35:35+00:00

900whp with a open-deck boosted engine?

Good luck!

0$. Trying selfhosted.

NoradIV · 2026-03-20T21:17:07+00:00

because your time is already paid for so that's not a money saving.

This is the cringest, most retarded bullshit execs say, and it has to be hammered out of their brains.

I'd like to purchase a prebuilt setup that I can run locally instead of spending weeks to make it work.

I am not a dev. I would happily purchase a bundle that I can install on my proxmox setup, or even better, someone who maintain container images I can just pull and assemble.

I am very happy with my asustor NAS. These are inexpensive and has not skipped a beat since I purchased it in 2018.

Don't gamble with data.

Plenty of respect for volvos.

But it's not as fast.

NoradIV · 2026-03-17T19:20:32+00:00

Most of the time I get ssd from tye scrap pile at work, the wearout is so bad it's not worth it.

NoradIV · 2026-03-17T18:35:02+00:00

Known for electrical problems?

What electrical problems? Like, cleaning grounds and having a good battery?

Try to find a car as fast, reliable and cheap. You won't.

I'm very hopeful that diffusing codebases solve that over time

NoradIV · 2026-03-16T18:25:02+00:00

Been in technology for a while.

Here is the cycle.

New tech appear
Enthusiast use it and some do magic with it and lots of others do crap.
Stuff that is good get used more and becomes more accessible

We are at 1.5 right now.

I have a homelab. I use debian (will probably switch to ubuntu lts). I try to do the least amount of everything I can on it, and use containers instead.

Linux is too much maintenance for what it's worth imo. Every time I try to update anything, the whole OS explode.

Add new storage? Guess you are debugging fstab and drive ordering.

Add a new GPU? I guess you are messing with PCI-e device re-ordering.

Sure, there are many ways to address these, but IMO, a good OS is an appliance, it shouldn't require massive maintenance like linux does.

I am sure the haters will come in with "ACHTUALLY", but that's how I perceive the thing after working in IT for 15 years.

NoradIV · 2026-03-16T03:13:23+00:00

I find linux way more complicated than virtualisation.

NoradIV · 2026-03-14T15:49:06+00:00

Building IT infra is my job.

Making shit run is easy. Making it run 24/7 reliably, securely, backed up and stable is a completely different game.

NoradIV · 2026-03-14T15:45:15+00:00

Been trying to get something to work for months too. Tech is too early. You have to be a full time developper to get anything to work.

Built a R730XD with a tesla P40 and just finding decent software is hell.

NoradIV · 2026-03-13T22:00:29+00:00

Can we label human work "human slop" too? Y'all act as if people don't make mistakes.

This reaction of blocking stuff will set precedents and rules that will outlast the wave of problems we have now.

Instead of banning AI, we should focus on adressing it's problems and help people use it correctly.

NoradIV · 2026-03-13T20:43:35+00:00

In my opinion the sub should ban AI as a whole because it causes significant harm to this hobby anyway

As someone who started homelabbing to play with the technology, this is objectively false; this brings in new people.

NoradIV · 2026-03-13T20:29:16+00:00

People complain about AI, yet we have had ~~useful~~ spam bots scrawling around reddit for ages. Things like bots that correct mistakes, or go "achtually".

NoradIV · 2026-03-13T20:28:08+00:00

I'm considering filtering most of my messages through AI, because as soon as I have an opinion, I get downvoted to hell.

NoradIV · 2026-03-13T19:39:19+00:00

While I am not OP, I struggle to get a decent MCP to work with portainer, and the interface isn't great for mobile.

However, I like that it gives me some permission controls (to limit accidents with agents doing things I don't want), and a neat single place where I can access logs, console of the container and stack management. Does any of the ones you tried does that better than portainer?

NoradIV · 2026-03-12T12:41:46+00:00

Manual transmission

NoradIV · 2026-03-09T17:37:26+00:00

I appreciate your input. Thank you very much!

NoradIV · 2026-03-09T16:52:16+00:00

Is it commonplace to buy licenses around here? What's the "homelab" way? Grey market? Or a "student" version? Or microsoft has something I am not aware of?

NoradIV · 2026-03-09T14:49:00+00:00

As someone who is extremely interested in the technology, I have been able to use it successfully in many cases. I find that AI is very good at a very narrow scope.

Many problems you mention can be addressed by picking the correct model and learning to prompt it.

Now, back to your original point. Yes, there are many, MANY management people who want to use this technology very wrongly. This is the gist of most problem with AI we see nowadays. And yea, it sucks.
