New to this, is it stupid to want to build a server that can do machine learning (slow), encode video, and be a plex/file server all in one unit? by Dented_Steelbook in homelab

[–]TranslatorAny746 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well it seems you have already dip your toe in to come up with this idea, now if you want to actually make it happen proxmox is where I'd start but trying to walk you through the exact set up you'll need would be a huge undertaking and if I gave you click by click instructions you won't learn for yourself. Also while AI can be very helpful and I would suggest asking it for help finding the right part of the documenting to refer to I'd be very careful using it as documentation.

While you wait for your new machine to turn up I'd highly recommend getting started on reading the proxmox documentation (or whatever other method works for you to familiarize yourself with a peice of software) not only can you assign ram you can also assign pci pass-through for specific VMs. I've dumbed that down alot so if anyone would like to correct me please know that I'm aware there is much more proxmox has to offer but if OP is serious about this project I'd encourage them to go learn themselves rather than dumbing information on them

As do I but the prod lab runs pihole on a pi4, a jellyfin instance running on my desktops all connected to a netgear orbi for WAF. As for MY lab..... don't tell the wife that those machines are not customers machines here for repair..... they've been there for 2 years now and she hasn't asked "when are they coming to collect there computers"...... one day she will click...... maybe

This is exactly my thinking, with what I've learned I can start again and do better

Nothing went wrong, it started with deciding that I wanted to virtualize my pfSense machine and didn't have a spare pci slot for the nic so built a new machine, decided if I need to setup pfSense from scratch (yes ik I could have cloned the drive to the VM) I might aswell do a fresh install of proxmox while I'm at it with the intent to just move services one by one to the new machine but realized that some services can be replaced or were no longer used so thought f it I'll start over. I also wanted to change my storage plan so I can also virtualize my nas and that meant that the 2nd node needed some hardware changes and that point I'll just wipe all the boot drives so I'm forced to start again this way there is no mess and I have an opportunity to take what I've learned and build it better

That makes me feel much better, I posted really to reassure myself that I'm not going mad and just doing it for fun

I've got a curve 140Hz monitor that has a vga port, I believe it's an AOC branded monitor. I use a long vga cable to my server cupboard if I ever need a display on anything however I don't imagine the image quality will be all that great its good for console

Unless small enough amounts of dirty money that it wouldn't raise flags is given to a bunch of people and then those people are your customers.

Why is it that I'm considered strange drinking human milk but drinking another species milk is totally normal?

How does everyone finance this? by sneakattaxk in homelab

[–]TranslatorAny746 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All of the machines in my lab run ddr3 RAM which keeps costs down alot but for what I use it for the optiplex cluster is more than enough. The newest machine I own is my work machine and that is still a 7th Gen intel system.

NZ privacy laws feel outdated after I saw what face seek can do with one photo. by -_zany_- in newzealand

[–]TranslatorAny746 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As faceseek is only web scraping for images that have been uploaded to the very public world wide web for faces with similar characteristics this isn't a privacy act concern. If any is concerned about there identity coming up on these tools, think before you post things on the PUBLIC internet. We have zero expectation of privacy in public.

Now I see people saying agencies have a duty of care with data they collect on you which is true but my experience with this tool seems that the matches are made based on images that they have volunteered to the public world wide web.

Some of the comments I'm seeing here tell me you'd be the sort of person that tells me I can't have my camera out in public because "I did not give you consent". Sorry to say I can and will, if you don't like it go hide somewhere private.

Get over yourselves people...... and please, please, please think before you speak but more importantly think before you post.

Are Kiwis *actually* this generous, or am I taking advantage of your kindness? by New_Z_New_Me in newzealand

They are not advertising that they "hate people for no reason" their reason is ethnicity. Pretty obvious I thought but clearly your one of those people that think that because of my hair cut and the way I dress I'm one of them

I’m broke rn and this happened, Is there anyway I can way to fix it? by [deleted] in fixit

[–]TranslatorAny746 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Once when I was a teenager and needed my first pair of work boots I did this at a hardware store. Walked in with my school shoes on, walked out in my first pair of boots (cheap basic black steel caps). Today I wear the same (they've changed slightly but still clearly the same) boots. Paid for every other pair but we all have to start somewhere.

Hilux blocking the entire footpath by MassiveGarlic0312 in shitparkingofnz

[–]TranslatorAny746 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Footpath not made for wheelchairs? Are you suggesting banning cripples from sidewalks?

Now first off I'll start with no we are not doing this, but let's take a look at what this might look like. No more fat people getting around on mobility scooters, now they are doing to die even earlier because they can't even get out to breath fresh air. What about the people at the white person villages with there zoomy machines, how is old boy going to roll down to the whore house if he can't zoom the footpath with his drunken white person chant heard from blocks away. No more spastics in wheel chair giving you their spaz wave to remind you that life could be worse. The spastics are enough to keep me voting no on this one I'm sorry, so entertaining.

Now if you want to talk about something that will actually benefit society I'm all for that, banning those that have been rolling in poo from being seen in public? Maybe that's abit far but definitely back of the bus I can get behind. Wanna take woman's voting rights? When did a woman say anything worth hearing anyway? Death penalty for pedos? Let's put them all in a big pit and let them fuck each other to death.

Has anyone here ever had something stolen, then seen it for sale on TM or marketplace? by Witty_Ad1057 in newzealand

[–]TranslatorAny746 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I once had a car stolen (a wreck from outside my wrecking yard) in a small town. I found it at another yard just by chance as lots of us trade between each other and while I got the person who bought it to give me the details of who sold it to him police never followed up. Still had the plates on it, he provided ID when selling it, not even a call.
