I've talked about hosting a time or two, got crickets for replies, not sure anyone actually want's to pay for media hosting. Not really looking for general public either, more interested in B2B or partnering with applications.
Anyway, on the CF thing. It's more because most of the web goes through them, they almost have a monopoly on monitoring web traffic without the user's permission. When visiting your site, I had to go through CF before I could even get to your terms of service once the site loads. CF does a lot of work, but they also block nearly every website I would like to access. They do IP trust rating and categorizing, and require browser fingerprinting and javascript before I can access anything.
They can see almost everything a user does and almost make it a point to monitor users so they can build the analytics and "defense" techniques. But beyond that, don't see me a free speech service but require me to show my browser fingerprint and fund a "trustworthy" IP address in order to use your service. And that's just an assumption, I can't know what Cloudflare requires in order to let me have access to the things it protects.
Don't mind me. Just running remote apps from a Windows Desktop and a Linux desktop while also testing Granite 4.0 in the background, all on the same GPUs. #vgpu
That's not terrible but over about the 960gb starts to get out of my price range. I need a fairly large array for IOPS and redundancy so would be nice but can't fork over the dough.
Yeah unixsurplus too. But the deals have been LACKING. SPD only sells individual units. Hoping to get a bulk discount by buying like 40 units
I just need to find a large box of decent brand (or enterprise) ssds over 500gb for a reasonable price. Surprisingly difficult to find.
Preferably like 3 more of me.
I'm just holding out so I don't have to implement nip04 into noscrypt
To be, nothing is better than having spare parts on hand. Had a fuel bowl leak out of knowhere. Check my toolbox. Ope there one is. 15 minute job. Ordering more spare gaskets and lids now.
Though you might like it!
Yeah me too, but hey I'm not complaining! I have a usb-ps2 adapter but never tried it so not sure how well it would work if I ever needed it.
You're gonna make me pick it up aren't you XD
Yeah I would be pretty upset if something happened to it, but theyre around. Its an old Dell and i think you can still get replacement parts for them. I don't use it daily it sits at the back of my keyboard tray shielded from dust. I'm also fairly confident I could fix most things wrong with it.
Easy. Use a budget motherboard from 2018 :) Its an asus x470 prime I think. Still has ps2 combo port.
If it's only been 12 years does that count? What about if I use a keyboard from the 80s for coding?
A better way to say this is. I needed a break from my other issues to create more issues XD
I kind of agree with this take tho. Shouldn't be proud of testing in prod... Sometimes the project is just too small or you don't have enough, but the goal is to get away from ametuer development, not to "embrace it". Assuming making a sustainable product is the goal.
Both are Red Hat funded managed products. Pacemaker is a generic high availability service that can be used across physical machines or vms to make a cluter of "resources" which can be almost anything if you write a bash script for it. Virtual IPS, filesystem mounts, HA filesystems, systemd services etc.
Podman is a daemonless + rootless docker implementation in pretty much a single binary. It's minimally invasive and straightforward. Doesn't mess up your firewalls (using slirp4net and bridge networks) and can basically be removed simply by stopping all running containers, deleting container storage and removing the package. It doesn't molest your install like docker does. It also integrates well with RedHat linux distros that use SELinux features.

The real hold up has been my dev environments. Due to hardware and OS related issues, and obviously linux driver support.
XD I promise that's a side project to a side project XD but it does need to get done to support my current income stream XD
Same... I will go back to whatever client Im comfortable with (self hosted v0.42 nostrudel) to follow people.
Okay this time I'll hold onto your sats XD
When you get out of the cities and the burbs, it's peaceful despite a higher percentage of household firearms and concealed carry. I'm no whateverist, but in my lifetime it seems to creep out from the cities and seemingly poor areas.
There is something so fun about in-lining functions. Yeah it's harder to debug depending on the compiler, but cmon it's cool watching a bunch of checks, branches, casts, and arguments get optimized into like 1/10 of the original code.

I finally _almost_ got vgpu, mostly working. Man that's a process. Writing a little guide/blog now :)
So some prelim testing nostr:npub1a6we08n7zsv2na689whc9hykpq4q6sj3kaauk9c2dm8vj0adlajq7w0tyc nostr:npub1sceswwu9vldf0tg3nlkajutp2j4zsv35ewma9r23x8d2qa73eaaqmmq7fu
2x Titan X maxwell -> 2x Tesla P100 16g
gpt-oss 20b skyrocket performance increase from less than 10 t/s to almost 40 t/s it's amazing (utilizes the new FP16 compute I believe)
Small models <15b (Granite, Gemma, DeepSeek)- about equal or worse performance
Larger models >20b (Qwen 3, Gemma Deep Seek 32b) - Nearly double, ~4 to over 8 t/s
Still pretty slow compared to really modern GPUs, but for the price, I'm not upset at all. I want to explore some driver stuff or maybe some tuning because it seems like I should be seeing better. Might just be the rest of the old server running it.
Power consumption is nearly 100w less for the same loads. Idle is about 15w higher per card (they idle around 30w each instead of 15). Performance per watt has increased dramatically. Power limit was set to 150w/card in all tests titans typically went over and p100s aren't even coming close to it.
Ill be playing with vGPU at a later date. I've always dreamt of a thin client setup but it's just never really worked out.
Will do! They are p100s. So they should be DC, not sure about firmware though if that's what you are suggesting. I had Titan X maxwells installed and just swapped these in.
Podcasting 2.0 supports video. Actually podcasting has always supported video. RSS is just a .xml file that points to the data.

Here's that feed in app.

nostr:npub1dergggklka99wwrs92yz8wdjs952h2ux2ha2ed598ngwu9w7a6fsh9xzpc's nostr:npub196qvw7utjs0cnztlg4aww98ekql9svm6c4wlv6sug70nzz0uujxsprafme makes RSS feeds that support video from peoples nostr feeds.
Yeah. Aware the spec understands video formats, but here we are still most people sharing youtube content. So what are we missing? We just need people to start publishing their videos as podcast feeds then?
Whatcha working on sir?
I could see myself making the same mistake XD
I decided late last night that noscrypt needs more unit testing and better test housekeeping

Everything is a node.js app. I weep.
Unless the program is written in Whitespace then it's probably lying.
Google Brotli commit on master: "AI ate my code"

Most of these tools look usable, and also quite expensive XD
Yeah I'd have to see what the commitment looks like for sure, I'm already over-committed and work on aedile has slowed while were still in the planning phases and shipping other products. Myself and nostr:npub1wqfzz2p880wq0tumuae9lfwyhs8uz35xd0kr34zrvrwyh3kvrzuskcqsyn are project owners at GitCitadel but he is also pretty short on time these days.
nostr:npub1m3xdppkd0njmrqe2ma8a6ys39zvgp5k8u22mev8xsnqp4nh80srqhqa5sf is also a member and working on the nostr:npub1l40cx7mc8cr23qamy6xhjx4gng9wmuczj2d8ertvw98w0aak9x3qyxmh7n project which is a bit more established and funded.
