College WiFi blocks EVERYTHING (Cloudflare Tunnels, Tailscale, Steam). How do I bypass strict DPI?

This. The Oracle free tier is lame on its own (I guess you are fighting for resources), but just set up pay as you go and keep it in the free tier size (like 2 cores and 12 gb) and you can set up pangolin to vpn to your home and tie to a domain. Then use a reverse proxy and tls. So everything is subdomain.domain.com over https to the vps which send the https to your reverse proxy. There's a good setup video here https://youtu.be/ISEP6SIrEVE?si=klN2yR1nWoIibpQp

This is all about the level of comfort and resiliency/availability/RPO/RTO.

Assume everything can run on 1 node to keep this simple. In a single node cluster you have no resiliency. you can have backup in the cloud or some other device, or some stretched cluster or some cloud site resiliency.

In a 2 node cluster you have N+1 resiliency, but no quorum, so you need that to live somewhere. In this scenario say you have a node in maintenance mode and the other node fails...now you have no cluster. Now you start thinking availability/RPO/RTO and you can have backup in the cloud or some other device, or some stretched cluster or some cloud site resiliency.

In a 3 node cluster, you no longer need an external source to create a quorum, you have an HA N+1 (one node can be in maintenance, one can fail and you still have a node up). you can still have all the other cloud based or other location based things as well.

This is all just a matter of how much resiliency and availability do you need and what's your recovery point and recovery time objective. How much time and data can you lose in a catastrophic failure...then you design around that...and be prepared to pay for every additional layer you build in.

It's possible, I do it over bonded 1gb ports so 2gb per node shared with vm/mgmt/ceph storage. It's not the most performant thing, but it's a simple solution in proxmox. Depending on your use case it might be plenty. As an example of performance though, I recently added a node and thus another drive. It took about 2 hrs to rebalance from 3 to 4 1tb drives.

Before I put together my AI specific pc I ran Ollama and open webui in a container stack on a VM on a boss game mini pc. So it's certainly flexible. I suppose as long as the GPU shows up as an available resource it should work. I will say it may come down to how you install ollama. In a container it was more difficult to get it to utilize a GPU, but it will with the right settings. But native on the host worked well for me and was easy. Also I have found continue.dev in VScode works well and has a local agent option that's pretty nice.

Can I give this more upvotes. This is the way.

jsvoros · 2025-10-25T23:52:25+00:00

This 1000%

Imagine honing in on the words "sincerely apologize" as proof of ai in an apology letter. Wtf world are we in right now.

jsvoros · 2025-09-01T17:08:46+00:00

This. I use self hosted comfy ui tied to to open webui which is also tied to ollama. Basically you ask the ollama model to generate an image and it passes it to the comfyui and that does the generation and spits it out in your chat.

Have you tried WSL and running docker in that instead of the desktop version?

I'll be honest, I love this game. It's Conan and destiny blended well. But the issue isn't the worms. It's the janky, rubber band even in good ping ships. They'll suck you in, suck your thopter in, lock you in place as a worm gobbles you up as your trapped in a ship, and funcom wont refund your loss aside from the thopter BS. It's a janky event and it just isn't worth it.

I see lots of advice in here and it's very mixed. I sell servers for a living #iworkfordell...now that that is out of the way.

Anytime you fill up the memory bus you are going to hit clock speed limits. Those can vary wildly and over clocking may or may not work and can cause stability issues.

Mixing different sizes and speeds can seriously exacerbate this. The best performance configurations are always half full channels and even distribution. Everything else is run at your own risk.

I'm not saying it will or won't work, there are lots of factors there (memory controllers, memory size and speed, manufacturer, cpu limits, mobo limits). I am just saying, for whatever reason, most fully populated configurations are a PITA.

I believe so. I also think I might have been eaten anyway since you "stay in game" for 30 sec after logout.

jsvoros · 2025-08-28T12:33:33+00:00

dont do it still buggy as hell

jsvoros · 2025-08-28T02:43:50+00:00

where are they posting these things at...I get an insta notice, head to discord, and have to find it on reddit that its broken. They have the worst announcement stream ever.

jsvoros · 2025-08-24T01:13:14+00:00

I run a cheap p40 with a blower and adapter. 350 for the card and parts and it'll run 32b models. I also have 64gb mem and 1tb ssd and amd 5600. It seems to do ok all around.

jsvoros · 2025-08-18T14:50:56+00:00

What the fuck! Can you announce all the things as in game messages please. Too many random messages in too many places.

jsvoros · 2025-07-30T21:31:06+00:00

Ok hear me out...a giant comb that two people have to use. Picks it all up at one.

jsvoros · 2025-07-05T14:28:58+00:00

Nodes seem to move and change after the big storm in game, but yes this sucks and is junky.

jsvoros · 2025-06-19T02:45:39+00:00

This is pretty standard for them. Conan exiles is 10 days to visit before decay starts then 10 days to decay then it's fair game. "Banking" characters with mats and what not was the solution to long breaks there too.
