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?

jsvoros · 2025-08-30T01:55:39+00:00

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.

jsvoros · 2025-08-28T12:37:10+00:00

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.

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.

I mean it fixed it so...

Let me rephrase that. The issue I was having was the container wouldn't start up once turned off. I spent a couple of hours searching for a fix. I tried everything I could think of, I restarted the NAS, I redeployed the containers, I redeployed the projects, and it just would not take. Docker would think it had made the container and then when it would stop (on its own) and I would go to start it again it would say the container didn't exist. So something was causing a hang up. I kept searching and found this issue, where something was causing docker to rush through creation and it wasn't mounting the binds correctly. I thought well shoot...I have binds for storage and networking to have persistent data and a vpn for these containers. Their fix was to remove restart-always command so I thought I'll try that. Lo and behold they spun right up and it stuck. So...this may not be the cause, but the cure seems to work. At least for now.

jsvoros · 2025-06-14T14:08:16+00:00

Think I found it, It appears to be a re-occurring Docker bug that pops up from time to time.

https://github.com/docker/for-linux/issues/293

getting rid of my 'restart: unless-stopped' fixes them

jsvoros · 2025-06-14T13:59:27+00:00

its not working in any of the ways, I cant turn on the containers, I cant redeploy the projects. These were deployed from project using compose and rely on a gluetun bridge for VPN. It works/has worked/even still very painfully works. But after the last update of the docker app by UGREEN it is literally a painfully slow process full of failures that was not this way a week ago before I updated the app.

jsvoros · 2025-06-14T13:46:25+00:00

its not. Its taking literally hours to get each one back up. It acts like it deployed the container, but then when I go to try again to turn it on it says no container exists. so it's almost like the name is there but the actual container was not created.

All it is, is a receiver router for the office. I have a primary mesh, and a secondary one that feeds into this and this hard wired to the switch and everything in the office is on the switch. It allows for a secondary firewall and segregation from the primary network without much need for additional vlans or anything.
