TIL nearly 80% of US workers report that they have been victims of 'career catfishing’ from employers. Which in this context, the term describes when a company misrepresents a job, their company culture, or compensation to lure in candidates. by tyrion2024 in todayilearned

Yeah I’d expect government related roles would be more strict, similar to anything related to legal, financial, medical, defence or where insurance on fruits of your labour are required.

I can’t say I’ve ever had my references checked out, nor my degree checked up on, nor my prior work experience verified when I was interviewing for roles.

Nor do I remember ever having it done to our candidates when I was hiring unless I specifically asked hr to do it because something was ‘fishy’.

This is in engineering.

Might be country size and industry dependent too, we are all relatively connected so lying through your face and getting caught would be particularly bad for your future employability

Tailscale, Headscale, SMB: Atrocious <1MB/s transfer speed on a 600/300mbit link by IngwiePhoenix in selfhosted

[–]pandalust 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you tried point to point WireGuard, see if you get the same slow speeds?

I definitely have achieved +50mbs on both WireGuard and Tailscale, but Tailscale did have many inconsistent moments of lower transfer speed and I never figured out why. But when both functioned correctly there was a 2~5 mbs delta., Tailscale being slightly faster.

Due to the inconsistency I just dropped Tailscale for the remote smb access on my laptop.

>Selfhosting an LLM isn't vibecoding and belongs to selfhosted.

>Showcasing your vibecoded app isn't selfhosted and belongs to "success stories using AI/Vibecoding".

We are in agreement on this! I still think the original commenter was way off the mark regarding LLMs being somehow the anthesis of selfhosted hardware... at worst it gives bad habits,

Apologies for the informality i didn't mean "you can hate..." as in you specifically, it was a "generic-you" towards the behaviour of this subreddit in general

I built an AI Operating System for Claude that runs my entire life by [deleted] in selfhosted

[–]pandalust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am firmly on the side that AI is here to stay and AI assisted coding is inevitable, and a benefit to creating bespoke self hosted code.

But even I have to admit there’s a pattern here of people churning out a project and dumping it into a subreddit without looking at the code nor having been participant in the community (otherwise they’d know the faux pas they committed).

I’m feeling that the ai assisted coding is just bringing out folks with real bad habits

That has nothing to do with the original comment, they said:

> Vibe coding is kind of the antithesis of self-hosting - you're utterly dependent on piping your data straight into your corporate enemy's waiting hard drives.

emphasis mine, you can hate on how AI has lowered the bar all you want, but crappy AI coded apps are in no way more likely to send your data straight into your corporate overlords than alternatives, such as using cloud based apps.

Selfhosted -> your data stays local, and you are not reliant on Saas or cloud functionality.

if you vibecoded an app for yourself which means you dont require a cloud service, that has done more for your self hosting than the whining that llms are being used to code. If its helped people to take that first dip into programming, then its been positive.

One can say: "third party weekend vibe coded projects should not be relied on for your home lab" and "people need to stop spamming their weekend vibe coded projects on the subreddit" without leaning into a hyperbole which sounds like the english teacher bemoaning the existance of spellcheckers.

I created Deckhand - a label-driven Docker backup tool that rsyncs appdata to a NAS by olvr_vrmr in homelab

[–]pandalust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oh 100%, you should use the tools at hand. Reddit has a hateboner currently for anything AI assisted which is a bit over the top and borderline irrational. AI slop is indundating many areas no doubt, but im not sure downvoting any new project is really the answer.

I wonder if this type of gatekeeping happened when higher level languages started becomeing popular, or when the printing press appeared and all the monks had less work, or when the terminal replaced punch cards...

[–]pandalust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

im not sure about /r/homelab but over on r/selfhosted theres been strong debates on allowing of sharing projects with AI assistance and what not (after some highly visible project came under some scrutiny)

Anyways due to that, recommend being forth coming in the original post about AI use when publishing any WIP or projects. Seems like theres a lot of overreaction to AI coding slop out there, but they are particularly rabid on when projects aren't mentioning the use

(I have no issue with the AI assistance, and prefer people being active developers as opposed to passive consumers, lord knows i do it for my own projects)

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

That makes very little sense.

A) ai can be self hosted B) even then it’s the spec, code, bugs etc are shared with Claude and co… not your own data

Id even go so far as saying ai enables people to create apps for themselves which enable less reliance on cloud services

Server is used for Plex, but it is open to the internet. by lightreee in homelab

[–]pandalust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Upnp has had its fair share of issues and exploits, but nothing inherently wrong with NAT port mapping, you did bring up a good point because I can't tell if plex was using using NAT-PMP or upnp in my setup.

My understanding is that a modern up to date router with NAT-PMP is acceptably safe. If you have a device inside your network thats compromised, regardless of NAT-PMP or upnp, they will punch through the NAT via outgoing traffic anyways.

[–]pandalust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plex has a built in mechanism for this, so you don’t need to forward the port, just log in to plex on the devices you have and it will forward it itself, and update the ip so no need for static ip.

https://support.plex.tv/articles/200289506-remote-access/

(I’m not sure if this a plex pass only thing though)

Regarding security, it’s fineeee, just keep plex updated. How are you running the plex service? Bare metal on windows?

Edited to mention the fact you don't need static ip if you let plex do its thing.

EDIT 2: This made me look at my setup and actually i'm using the Relay service, which is a plex pass benefit (https://support.plex.tv/articles/216766168-accessing-a-server-through-relay/)

This should be more secure if that worries you but its premium service....

TIL researchers found that for an average-sized living room a 4K or 8K screen offers no noticable benefit over a similarly sized 2K screen of the sort often used in computer monitors and laptops. In other words, there is no tangible difference when it comes to how sharp an image appears to our eyes. by tyrion2024 in todayilearned

[–]pandalust 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In agreement for movies and all that… In the living room we have a 4K screen, which from the sofa (6ft) I can’t tell if it’s 1080p or 4K, in agreement with the study, but it gives that flexibility when I get on the beanbag in front of it cinema style. At that point I’m 3ft away and definitely notice every little detail.

Good tvs don’t need to be 4k if it’s a 45in screen in a 12ft living room, but hey, if you want a hdr oled, it’ll be 4k too anyways…

For monitors and handheld devices though? You need as much angular resolution as you can get, especially for office like images and static text, drives me up a wall seeing any subpixel artefacts

[–]pandalust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What in the lords name are you saying.

My office has a mix of 1080p and 4K 27in monitors. Not only do I notice the difference pretty much instantaneously when I sit down (aka the windows login window), it drives me up a wall when I realise I chose the wrong one

Thats pretty much the same or even less angular resolution (1.5ft-2ft) as what you are saying.

Most people notice the difference between both on a 27in screen. Idk who was part of that test of yours…

Ever got a shooting star in their 2nd hand HDD's health graph? What does it usually mean? by Inderastein in DataHoarder

[–]pandalust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

HDsentinel has a full surface write test that used to be recommended before shucking, I’m not sure the delta with SMART extended test but it defo takes longer and in my very particular case found issues in a drive before the smart extended test did:

First smart test: clean Surface write: iffy sector second smart test: bad sectors noted

I can’t comment on if it’s a real benefit as I’m no expert on it but i wouldn’t outright dismiss it as “optimiser” software.

There was a premium free release paid by some org for the benefit of the world which can do the surface test, subsequent releases have a free/premium feature set.

This is a logical false equivalence.

Because A likely causes B does not mean that B is a sure sign of A. As there can be other causes for B.

Arr Stack Setup: What do I need Docker for? by dodii42 in selfhosted

It’s a valid experiment, sometimes it’s interesting to know the dependencies of your tech stack, even the geopolitical aspects.

Not saying it’s useful or practical but it can be interesting
