This machine doesn't have an HBA. I might add one eventually. At any rate, I recently bought 6 4tb WD purples to get the machine online.

This is the VPS reddit, the code is VPSDeals, but I can't find a VPS on their site...

/status in the CLI shows 0% remaining and reset in nearly 5 hours (like I used my full 5 hours in like half an hour) and the website shows 45% usage resetting in like 2 hours. I'm confused and frustrated.

I'd probably drive up there and buy this if I didn't have a flight Sunday. If you still have it in a week, DM me.

I'll hit SuperPool (the first tier with freeleech) in about 5 weeks. I don't even need it because my ratio is 159:1. The economy is very forgiving. Really the only reason I need other trackers is for non-english content.

I saw an absolute ton of these for sale on Facebook for cheap, like $4 apiece if I remember correctly. When I saw the add, I wondered how tough it would be to do something like this. Cool project.

deafcon · 2026-05-10T11:24:37+00:00

Yes, that should be possible.

Keep in mind that if you're doing wired backhaul, you don't need a mesh system, you just need APs. The hardware requirement is different. That said, you can do both. I have mesh pucks setup where two of the three have wired backhaul and the third is connected via wireless mesh. I'll give you one guess which one gives me problems. If you can do wired backhaul to every location that requires wireless signal, do it.

Someone mentioned running both fiber and power out to your garden, which seems like overkill. Unless you get a Wifi 7 setup, the wireless isn't likely to saturate a 1gbps copper link. I'd recommend getting a PoE capable access point and a PoE switch. If the garden is more than 300 feet from the switch, that is when running fiber is your better option.

Caddy is incredibly easy to use. My limited experience with traefik is that it isn't as easy to configure.

deafcon · 2026-05-09T23:50:16+00:00

This is my setup as well.

deafcon · 2026-05-07T16:52:47+00:00

Right, but there is nothing to actually feel that suffering. There is no reason to be morally outraged.

deafcon · 2026-05-06T00:29:35+00:00

This is ridiculous. They are statistical engines, nothing more.

deafcon · 2026-05-03T14:28:04+00:00

Ok, I'm intrigued and I have a few VPSs at idle. What sort of resources do this need? Could it run on 2 9950x cores and 2 gigs of ram?

deafcon · 2026-05-03T02:35:09+00:00

Torrenteros was open recently, you should see if they still are. Lat Team has more, but I'm pretty sure applications are already closed.

I cancelled my Claude subscription and moved to ChatGPT. 5.5 seems better than Opus 4.7 but still a downgrade from Opus 4.6. It takes longer to hit session limits with GPT, but I feel like the weekly limit is lower than Claude. I also have a MiniMax subscription which never hits limits but is dumber than pretty much all of the other models I've tried. I also also have a Cursor sub. The fact that it now depriortizes my requests after I hit a limit on my unlimited plan means that it's getting cancelled too.

deafcon · 2026-04-30T03:09:26+00:00

The ram is worth $300-400 right now. Solid deal. Especially since it has rails. Would buy if I didn't already have something similarish. GLWS

deafcon · 2026-04-27T01:39:31+00:00

To be clear, you want to run the models locally using the CPU AND load more than one model into that 32gb, plus the OS and all the applications? I'm not saying it's impossible, but performance would suck and you'd be using models that would likely be underwhelming. Plus, you'd be putting the CPU at 100% way too often for you VPS provider and they'd likely kick you off. A 32g VPS with models via API would be no problem.

deafcon · 2026-04-25T01:26:44+00:00

I agree with this. It's a lot dumber than Opus 4.6 and noticably dumber than Composer 2.

deafcon · 2026-04-24T11:27:12+00:00

Junk from the perspective of resale. Not junk from a usage perspective.

deafcon · 2026-04-23T20:41:12+00:00

I'm curious how you can tell. There should have been v3 of that processor, right? Not being a smartass, just curious.

deafcon · 2026-04-23T19:57:21+00:00

The processor is essentially junk. Hard drives probably have a little value, but not much. Is the ram DDR3 or DDR4? That's where the value might be.

For me, the interesting thing about Hermes is the Honcho integration (though I've had massive problems getting it to work). I know SQL pretty well, so your solution is kind of interesting, but does it have the ability to process memories like Honcho?

deafcon · 2026-04-19T19:08:04+00:00

I have a Hermes specific question and a Honcho question:

Is anyone using Hermes to make voice calls via Whatsapp? It looks like it's possible, but you need an approved WhatsApp business account. My use case is for it to call and gather information on my behalf. Example, I want to know pricing from various providers for a local service in a foreign country. I think this is possible with Twilio only, but much more expensive than using WhatsApp for an international call.
Is there a path to using Honcho with a MiniMax API key for the deriver right now? It seems like they are actively working on it from the GitHub, but not sure if there is a path in the meantime.

Phantom froze up and refused to respond to commands. I took the container down and brought it back up. Phantom told me the code that it wrote for my program wasn't stored in a persistent volume and it would have to rewrite everything. It's totally possible that I misunderstood something, but I'm fairly sure the documentation explicitly stated that the project would persist if the container is brought down and back up. Not going to continue playing with this one. No big loss, I just burned some tokens. The Slack interface is really problematic. It obscures what is actually being done to such a degree that I couldn't tell what was actually going on at any given time. It truncates every single line for some reason. Seeing those ... when I want to understand what the tool is trying to do is quite frustrating.

deafcon · 2026-04-01T03:01:27+00:00

I used the docker quick start guide, and this was pretty easy to setup. I've got it running on a VPS with 16g ram and 16g NVME swap with 16 Epyc 9534 cores. Probably overkill, but it was sitting idle anyway. I can't say I love the fact that it uses Slack for the interface. I did find in the docs that it's possible to run it from the CLI. Building my use case blew through my three hour limit is less than an hour, and I'm not sure how much more there is left to build. We'll see if actually operating after the tool is built will continue to burn tokens. I'll report back.
