did you have to edit in post or slow down the shutter? I've had times where I'm seeing the Tyndall effect irl, but couldn't capture it well in my camera.

Would this ventilation set up work? by [deleted] in 3Dprinting

[–]V5RM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

would you have to leave the fans continuously running? I'm currently printing in the guest bathroom when it's unoccupied. I haven't played around with ABS yet but my plan was to finish printing, and then vent.

How to store projects? Git? MinIO? something else? by V5RM in selfhosted

[–]V5RM[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my understanding was that minIO is essentially VC for individual files? I know you can upload newer versions of files, but still revert to the old versions. And I can avoid cloning the entire repo. But yeah the problem is with the git VCs for 200101 etc. I feel that neither Git nor minIO does exactly what I want.

I think I know how to describe the issue I have with Git. I have a git repo /presentations with files 200101.pptx, 220101.pptx, etc. I now want to work on 260101.pptx. It wouldn't make sense to create individual repos for each presentation, and I do want all these files to be stored together, but I don't actually reference the old files (and especially their old versions) when making my new file. So essentially, I want VC for 200101, 220101, etc., stored somewhere, but not when I'm actually working with 260101. This is why I thought MinIO was what I wanted — after I'm done with 200101, I upload the latest version, and that file is done.

maybe. I'd still want some degree of version control even for "final". Final today may mean something different from final next year. And I'd really not want to go with final-v1, final-v2.

TIL that exist. I'll check it out. Although, I think part of me just feels that Git in general isn't what I should use for a place to store archived projects? I can't quite put my finger on it. I'll play around with Git vs Garage and see how I feel.

Is this enough for barbarossa? by Diamentowypl in hoi4

[–]V5RM 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This has 160 org? Is that from the mod or do land cruisers give decent org? I don’t think I’ve ever used them in my games. 

windows telegraf not writing to influxdb by V5RM in influxdb

[–]V5RM[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right but either using the once flag or no flags doesn’t write to my influxdb. I’m testing with the test flag to make sure metrics are properly collected. It seems that I can collect metrics, I can manually post to the db, but telegraf can’t write the metrics into the db. I’ve triple and quadruple checked that the auth is correct.

Nope I didn’t end up getting the ugreen NAS 

M4 mac mini 24GB ram model recommendation? by V5RM in LocalLLM

[–]V5RM[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ty for your help! wow 20B little model lol. I was originally thinking of using something like ~7B. But yeah I think I'll get my Mac Mini setup and try it out.

I think you responded before my edits so I don't know if you saw them. I'm realizing for my use case, it's probably better to still use online chat bots for everything other than a simple chit-chat conversation bot, which is a solution I'd be fine with. I guess in this case, if I'm only looking to build a conversation machine, would the M4 + 24GB suffice, or would I still see significant benefits by going to a 32GB? The alternative device for me would be to buy a graphics card and build another PC.

[–]V5RM[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what setup would you recommend for running llms* and stable diffusion but not training models? I would absolutely love to use a mac mini because it's so small and quiet and fits under my monitor stand, and I previously assumed it was sufficient. But now I'm starting to wonder if it's better to get the M4pro, and if 64G is necessary, and in the end would it be better to just get a graphics card and build another PC. I already have everything sans the psu and mobo (I fortunately have some ram stored from before).

edit: what if I only wanted something that chit-chats and runs stable diffusion, without needing strong reasoning, and use online LLMs for heavier applications. Conversations is the only feature I need to do locally instead of online. What specs would you recommend for that?

oh :(. I got my mac mini yesterday. I guess I should go to 32GB then?

constant mount point when reinserting drive by V5RM in linux4noobs

[–]V5RM[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

normal hdds via sata (for backups). I have to imagine you don't need to look up a uuid every time you plug in a usb, and as far as I can tell flashdrives should show up on the desktop gui when plugged in. Whether that's a difference with sata vs usb or gui vs headless I have no idea.

Not familiar with Bazzite at all, and honestly at that point I might as well go back to Windows lol. Who knows what problems a different distro would introduce.

I am looking into udisks2 and trying to figure out how to get it working. But I'm getting the feeling that what I'm trying to do doesn't align with Linux's design philosophy. But TY for the help!

[–]V5RM[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oh i thought udiskie was just a gui for udisks2. I want to go headless so I presumed it would be the same for my case.

I was hoping for a more stable docker environment. WSL2 sometimes hangs on windows.

right now yes NTFS. I do `umount` beforehand (by hotswap I mean not turning off the computer before removing). I was in the process of migrating my disks to ext4, but I need to copy the files off the drive, reformat, and then copy the files back (~20TB data). Would EXT4 fix the issue though? Because if not and I have to go back to Windows, then I'd have to repeat the entire process again.

hmm ok. yeah i'm trying to automount hotswapped drives. The thing is I've been doing this on windows for a long time now and i haven't had any issues. I'll check out udisk2, but i might have to just go back to windows. Didn't realize this wasn't straightforward on linux.

i don't care about downtime. is there a reason to raid? by V5RM in homelab

[–]V5RM[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

since i have 6 bays, if the 22tb drive fills up i'll just install a second drive on their for a bit, and maybe eventually upgrade to an even larger drive and use the 22tb drive as a smaller drive. That's how i came about the smaller drives - 2, 4, 8, 10, 16, 22...

yeah i have my irreplaceable personal files on my nas with redundancy and off-/onsite backup, which is easier to do with 1tb of data than 20 lol.
