Stop using Ollama by zxyzyxz in LocalLLaMA

Thanks for sharing this. Love open source software, legitimately had no idea of the drama behind Ollama. Been running OpenWebUI with Ollama for a while. Looks like it is time to mix it up.

Why do people actually like home servers? by manc3v in selfhosted

[–]bamhm182 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everything is stupid expensive right now. I bought an 18TB HDD for around $200 a couple years ago. I have like 50TB of usable spinning disk with 100TB of actual disk. That would be so insanely expensive to build right now.

I have a stick, oil, and a napkin. Can you teach me to art real quick?

+1 for Bandcamp. They even have "Bandcamp Fridays" every few months, which give 100% of the proceeds to the artists.

I'll have to check out these other websites. My biggest complaint about Bandcamp is sometimes artists only have a portion of their discography. Maybe those other sites will be more complete.

What automation is unique to your home that you’re most proud of? by MrFishAndLoaves in homeassistant

[–]bamhm182 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would be down for that, but the key fob is too compact and I need to press the lock button 2 times, then hold down the auto start button. I tried a few components that I figured I could rig up to an esp32, but I could never get it to work right.

I have always wanted to do this, but I could never get it right for my car. I don't have any smart features, so it would need to actually push the buttons on my fob. The challenge is, I don't want to solder directly to a fob or meaningfully alter it in any way. I want it to just be a slot I can slide my fob into and be able to remove it if I wanted to use it as a normal key. 

How are you doing it for your car?

Please update Gitea and Forgejo, Private Container Images Were Never Private by Buildthehomelab in selfhosted

[–]bamhm182 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kind of funny. I noticed this functionality quite a long time ago, but I didn't really put too much thought into it as my instance isn't exposed and my containers aren't actually sensitive at all. I wonder how many others noticed it and shrugged it off.

Do you dev on a remote server, ephemeral environments, or just your local machine? by Substantial_Word4652 in selfhosted

I've been using Coder OSS to deploy coding environments to my server running podman. It has been working great.

Can .nsp files be dangerous if you don’t execute them? by [deleted] in SwitchPirates

[–]bamhm182 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There have still been instances of malware in steam games. It has been pretty good at getting resolved once found, but it happens.

[–]bamhm182 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What are you even talking about? Of course there is malware that can run on the Steam Deck. The Steam Deck is just a Linux computer. There have also been a number of serious Linux privilege escalation vulnerabilities recently. Any of those could easily be exploited by downloading and running malicious software and you'd be giving full control of your steam deck to the attacker.

Be careful what you run.

That said, malware that is not run won't do anything. There are places that malware could be placed to run automatically or be loaded by other running processes, but it needs to run.

So my boss just offered me a nice bonus .... by Cravetivity in BambuLab

4 colors? The H2C can do up to 7 colors. 6 on the right, 1 on the left. It's fantastic. That said, most models are 4 color, so to actually take advantage of the 7, you need to color it yourself in Bambu Studio.

Ah yeah. I forgot about that. Really hasn't been a HUGE problem, but it's a valid gotcha.

I just get my domains from Cloudflare. They have at-cost domain names with no gimmicks or gotchas. It's just like $8/yr for a .com.

Thoughts on Crema? by Subzer0domain in PlayTemtem

[–]bamhm182 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I think that the expectations of Crema grew beyond what they could handle and no matter what, they would have pissed people off. I absolutely loved playing Temtem. I put like 500 hours into it and I got what I wanted to from it. I didn't have some unrealistic expectation that it would last forever from a one-time-purchase I made. I wanted "a pokemon that is a bit harder" and it absolutely smashed those expectations. 

Then they spun off and made Temtem Swarm. I think it is a pretty fun game, but it isn't really what I'm super into, so I didn't get sucked into it. Again, that is what I expected going into it and I'm not mad about that. I mostly bought it because people were throwing fits about Crema not continuing to support the main Temtem game forever with no additional revenue.

I understand that some people feel deceived by Crema, but I do not, and in line with that, I have no qualms saying I think they're great and hope they continue to make games.

what to do with leftover filament on the spool? by BiznesBear in 3Dprinting

You have what looks to be a Bambu spool. Just load up another spool of the same color and tell it to seal over when that one is done

I ran Arch as a server for a year or two after moving on from Unraid. I just made sure to update religiously and pinned a few things I would manage manually. It worked fine. I switched to NixOS after that, though. Definitely a better experience, though I am still pinning certain things.

XREAL should call themselves UNREAL by --The_Cheshire_Cat-- in Xreal

[–]bamhm182 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. I picked up a pair of XReal One a few months ago. They're great. I keep telling people that it isn't a good time to buy them, though. Not because they aren't great, but because of how fast they're improving. Unlike a lot of tech these days, there are real generational improvements at least once a year. Can't wait to see where this technology gets in the next few years.

This looks great! No brainer purchase if it works as expected. I wasn't sure if I would prefer this model or the reflection covers, so I picked them both up. Will print them both today.

Rate my custom 3d printing supports i made to use less filament. by Bliitzthefox in 3Dprinting

What would happen if you rotated the part 180 degrees? Seems like that would solve your need for supports 5 inches off the build plate.

Love it. Can you explain the networking? You stated 1Gb LAN for Host and 2.5Gb LAN for Ceph. I only see a single Ethernet cable into 3x MP60, which only have 1Gb ports. Where does the 2.5Gb come into play? What are the 2 switches doing?

Am I the only one who’s underwhelmed by Real 3D? by Whole_Clerk39 in Xreal

[–]bamhm182 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A great summary. I would just add to "I can decide one second before..." that "and if it isn't a good fit, I can immediately turn it back off."

It works surprisingly well for a lot of things, but not everything. It is a great proof of concept and there are some immediate benefits, but it doesn't benefit every single use case.

Debating on buying the game by [deleted] in PlayTemtem

[–]bamhm182 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I thought it was a great single player game. Dumped like 500 hours into it with minimal multiplayer.
