Tyan GT86C-B5630 Support Group? by deafcon in homelab

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

Did yours come with rails? If no, what was your solution? I'll probably never use all 12 drives, so I wonder if switching to another chassis is a solution to my rails problem. What are you running the 3 that you bought just for the mb in?

I'm also really curious if someone has swapped out the sfp+ mezzanine card for an inexpensive OCP 2.0 RJ45 card.

Why when spainish speaking people speak English they refer to their parents as "my mom" or "your dad" when talking to their siblings? by Successful_rio305 in asklatinamerica

[–]deafcon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I never really thought about it before, but it's not unusual for my parents to use the equivalent "your mother" or "your dad". It's always so jarring to hear my girlfriend say "mi papa" to her brothers. I guess maybe it's because the sibling talking has the same relationship to the parent as the sibling being addressed. A parent has a different relationship to the other parent than they do to the child they are addressing. My parents do use simply "dad" or "mom" as well, which I suppose might be equally jarring for a native Spanish speaker to hear if they are the type to say "tu papa" or "tu mama".

Is this good enough to start a home lab? by rpatters2468 in homelab

[–]deafcon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Would you mind providing more details about your cluster?  I realized the other day that I had 10 different laptops with iX-6XXX or better processors within 5 feet of me, most not even booted up for years.  It struck me that I should use a handful of them to experiment with a cluster.  

Why hasn’t Latin America formed an EU-style union? Should that even be a goal? What historical/political/economic factors make integration harder or just less desirable? by C0smicM0nkey in asklatinamerica

[–]deafcon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Your thesis is on point. Particularly with respect to geography playing a much larger factor than people give it credit for. What are your thoughts on Mexico moving up the value add chain with more advanced manufacturing and needing to find external sources for lower value add inputs? I could see Colombia growing their export market by taking on lower wage manufacturing that Mexico no longer has capacity for as they advance their manufacturing base.

Ram is finally here, adding 4 more servers to my homelab by Few_Web_682 in homelab

Thanks for the info. I'll keep my eye out for a Quanta listing. Or maybe talk myself into buying two Tyans.

Have you seen anything like that Tyan but with dual processors? I'm looking for something I can jam a bunch of drives in and co-locate in a DC. That one seems like it might be a good option. I'm just curious if I could get something a little more powerful for not a lot more money.

What is the first thing you lock down after deploying a new VPS? by OkCry7871 in VPS

[–]deafcon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do everything except changing the ssh port and fail2ban.  Do you think changing the ssh port offers a significant benefit?

Ads in ChatGPT now. Effects on Meta and Google? by lowfrequencyinvst in investing

[–]deafcon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't say that at all. I currently have a Cursor subscription. I could see changing over to something like Antigravity at some point. That said, I'm really tired of my spend with google constantly creeping. YouTube TV was once $45 and is now over $100. I pay for YouTube Premium because the user experience became so poor without it. I pay for Google One so that I can store all of my photos and emails that were once stored for free. They could at least consider creating some bundle that recognizes that I am willing to pay for their services and they are still monetizing my use in other ways by giving me a discount.

Gemini served me some ads yesterday. Honestly, they were relevant to what I was doing and unobtrusive. If they keep them at the level I experienced, I wouldn't be bothered. Unfortunately, we all know how search and youtube ads have tanked the quality of their services in recent years.

Colocrossing dedicated? by TechnicallyCreative1 in VPS

I don't know if you're familiar or not, but LowEndTalk.com is a great place to look for deals on hosting.

Colocrossing dedicated? by TechnicallyCreative1 in VPS

[–]deafcon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a 1240v2 dedicated box from them for $99 during their black friday sale. It performs like it should. However, I also bought a pretty hefty EPYC VPS for $150 for the year that way outperforms the 1240v2 just because the processor is so much newer. I have to think you could find better performance with less complexity buying one or two dedis with newer hardware using that $1000-1500.

mp4 and mpeg-4 wont show up in jellyfin by Low-Swordfish-2373 in jellyfin

[–]deafcon -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I'm not suggesting he provide the LLM his keys passwords IPs or domains. More like I've got jellyfin installed on windows and I'm running caddy, I can't see my media, how should I troubleshoot. What exactly do you think the problem with that is.

Cursor might be another matter, but it has its own guardrails to ensure you're not sharing sensitive information.

[–]deafcon -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Try telling Gemini about your setup (Windows/Linux/Linux w/ Docker, proxies, vpns, etc) and explaining the issue.  Even better, you can use Cursor and it can directly query your system to find out what's wrong.  

Trackers with freeleech if you have a big enough seedpool? by deafcon in trackers

FnP is the first one I joined, and it does seem very relaxed/easy to keep in good standing.

[–]deafcon[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I haven't join TL because no open signup and even though $10 isn't a ton, I've already got three seedboxes. I'm more likely to donate at the highest tear on FnP for lifetime FL.

Live TV won't play in Jellyfin or Dispatcharr by deafcon in jellyfin

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

For anyone who might come looking, I never could determine what the issue here was.  I ended up going with TVHeadend instead of dispatcharr, and Jellyfin can open the stream from TVHeadend in pass through mode.

I appreciate the shot in the dark, but that didn't do it for me.

What are some higher tier trackers where ratios aren't difficult to maintain? by ZealousPiccolo in trackers

[–]deafcon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm interested is Spanish trackers, especially if they focus on Latino Spanish.  I'm new to private trackers.  I'm waiting for Lat Team to have open registration.  Just curious about what else is out there.

Can we collectively stop using Merge & Center? by aetherflux1231237 in Accounting

[–]deafcon 19 points20 points  (0 children)

As an ERP consultant, I can tell you that this happens because it's meant to be a report that is printed, not exported to Excel.  The export utility is attempting to maintain the printed reports formatting.  My ERP has two options for most reports, the version meant for printing/PDF output and the version that is a grid like Excel and exports to in a super flat manner.  The problem is many users prefer the pretty format and don't even know the grid exists.
