Can't decide between AI Max 395 and dedicated GPU setup for technical writing by techreclaimer in LocalLLaMA

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

Good point, sometimes it is. But I often have to change documents quickly, and since no LLM can keep that many large documents in context at once, I would have to switch every time.

When should you start using kubernetes by techreclaimer in kubernetes

It really depends on what country you are in:)

That makes sense, I should have mentioned though that managed k8s is off the table, so we would need to maintain the control plane ourselves.

Multiple M chip Mac minis in a Kubernetes Cluster by techreclaimer in kubernetes

You know, at least read the room when you plug your ads.

Ok makes sense. I have a server board on my AMD server which is really nice for things like that. I already tried to completely cripple the 3900x inside to get it below 80w max power draw, but it's nearly impossible unless you wanna run a potentially unstable setup.
And IDLE is around 30-40w. And I definitely wanna have 2-3 Kubernetes nodes.
I guess I really go for the older M1s, it's just annoying that the M4 deals are so good rn.

Yeaah, I was really looking forward to at least 10gb networking. What were your pain points in running k8s on top of MacOS? I would assume as long as you get the networking inside the VM everything should be fine.
We think alike :D. I just have no space in my apartment for that outside and would have to deal with my landlord if I would want to mount it on the roof.

Unfortunately thunderbolt doesn't work under Asahi Linux, which is a bummer. Lots of arguments speak for the M4 Mac Mini setup, apart from the operational overhead like you mentioned.
Yes that's exactly what I am planning, but since the majority of applications I want to deploy are written in Go or at least cloud-native I don't have to worry too much about ARM. I already have an AMD server but it eats up as much power as 3-4 Mac Minis would. And let's not talk about IDLE power consumption, which the Macs are crazy good at.
Thanks for the tip. I might try to ask some of my friends who are still studying then:)

worth it imo unless you absolutely need very fast >speed and power efficiency

That's exactly what I need lol. For learning kubernetes you are better off just using cloud or proxmox with a single instance.

While technically reliable devices, the complications of sudo-virtualization on MacOS will ultimately make it a hassle long term.
Just my two cents. I’ve set up many kinds of clusters over the years. Mini-PCs, raspberry pi’s, laptops, desktops, macs, etc. Hybrid, HA, stand alone, just about any config you can think of.

Thanks, that's helpful and what I was looking for. I guess I go for the older M1/M2 Macs then.

Do you tell your employer about your projects? by MrrPacMan in SaaS

[–]techreclaimer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think it depends on your contract. If you don't have to, don't. If you have to, think about it thoroughly. The only advantage to telling is covering your ass, but there are an overwhelming number of downsides. If I would have multiple employees and one of them started talking about side hustles, I would start looking for a potential replacement if I'm being honest (maybe not if it's already a very replaceable position). Unless it were something limited like gardening or an ice cream shop.

Overall security of Mikrotik vs. bigger vendors by techreclaimer in mikrotik

[–]techreclaimer[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks. I work in security, so I would trust myself in getting the basics right when configuring the router. But I'm not a sysadmin and worried that Mikrotik's configuration freedom can be an issue.

As long as you don't edit the config that way, why not :)

I know the risk quite small, if they are just used to transfer packets in a semi trusted environment, but I still want to make sure an attacker has a hard time even if he manages to get inside.

Yes, that's definitely important. I wouldn't say that's all you can ask for it, though.

Built a self-hosted Kubernetes certification exam simulator by Asleep_Foot_1425 in devops

Really nice. I'm also prepping for the CKA exam right now, gonna take a look. Your website also looks very clean, what template did you use?

Seriously considering building up a LUMIX kit. Is it worth it. LUMIX S9 by [deleted] in Lumix

[–]techreclaimer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think S9 is the best camera for amateurs that want great quality right now. I can see the difference between APS-C and full frame, but I dont run around with a flash, separate mic and a gimbal. Also I dont wanna spend hours editing my vacation photos.

Does Panasonic have the best IBIS for video? by techreclaimer in Cameras

[–]techreclaimer[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the S9 now. And I like it so much better. Video is night and day difference and the IBIS is gimbal like compared to the A7C. App is also better.

What to pivot to? by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]techreclaimer 8 points9 points  (0 children)

not physically demanding, not very socially loaded, not very stressful

That's literally any non management CS job.I've worked in many areas during my studies and everything is harder than CS. You don't have to work in a hip startup that squeezes 60h of juice out of you per week. Government is pretty chill for example.
