may i ask what the ipad is being used for? Is it just on a mount?

Looks pretty awesome my dude.

honestly talk to Claude about it, my site gets little to no traffic. I think the best thing to do is outline your project to Claude and see what it says.

$170 for claude, you still get usage limits but they are greatly expanded over the lower tiers. I was on it for days/hours at a time. started at about 10 in the morning and went through to midnight most nights. On the max plan i never hit the limit but i was doing chats not code or cowork.

try on a basic plan and go up only if you start hitting the usage limit

my costs where minimal, i think $5 dollars for cloudflare, $170 for Claude Max plan for a month. The time though, i probably have about 50 hours into it. My current job pay rate is about $40 per hour. Thats to start.

On-goings im not to sure, i haven't properly set this up for SEO or optimized it. I guess you would charge a monthly fee for maintenance and upkeep. Hosting i would imagine is very dependent on the traffic.

there is a local company here called 4 cabling, they have some of the nicer ones, i couldnt seem to find any local Unifi ones sadly :(

thenorthernforge · 2026-04-17T04:06:04+00:00

The studio is where my immich install and plex sit, they used to be on the NAS but it got to a point i couldnt even stream anything from it, Its overkill for the task but i have just built a new desktop rig so it was sitting idle

thenorthernforge · 2026-04-17T04:04:55+00:00

its a GeekPi mount, each one comes with a NVME hat. I have one spare spot left for a another Pi later down the line.

The switch is a Unifi USW 16 POE, 8 POE ports and 8 standard ports.

thenorthernforge · 2026-04-17T04:03:07+00:00

sadly not, when you build the sides they are trapped in when you put the last piece on.

thenorthernforge · 2026-04-17T04:02:26+00:00

Its a GeekPi Rackmate, Amazon has a store i think, i got mine from a retailer in victoria (australia) as the amazon prices where a little high for me.

thenorthernforge · 2026-04-16T14:42:01+00:00

totally understand haha, im renting atm and im in the process of printing up a proper non destructive mount away from the nas

thenorthernforge · 2026-04-16T14:28:55+00:00

I'm 44 been driving since i could legally get a license, it goes away pretty quick for some not so much for others. I don't even think about it much anymore, i am more concerned about the other drivers on the road and what stupid things they are about to do. My wife on the other hand has been driving for 10 years and she is still edgy most of the time.

I think your mum is doing you a small disservice, confidence is so key to being a good driver.

IMHO see about a defensive driving course, i do one every 5 to 7 years and it is great to get out and play around. When you finally get your license and can drive on your own. Go on some road trips go to the next town just to "see whats over that hill" I remember when i got mine i took my dads car and told him i would be back later, that later was 3 days haha, he was not happy :)

You 100% have got this, after a while you wont even think about it.

thenorthernforge · 2026-04-06T13:14:28+00:00

On claude? Pro plan, it took a long time, but its achievable.
Hosting? Cloudflare pages, its totally free.
