There’s The Serial Port, It’s not really ‘home networks’, but he finds and sets up very early (~80-90s) ISP gear and explains how it works and the history of it. Similar to how Ben Eater uses an ‘old’ 6502 to explain stuff.

I have no idea how CoW interacts with NTFS

With btrfs you can disable COW for specific files, that might give you a little performance boost.

Cloudflare tunnels uses a QUIC connection between the cloudflared on the server and Cloudflare itself, which is encrypted similarly to HTTPS.

Whatever protocol cloudflared uses to talk to your webserver locally is configurable through the Cloudflare access web UI (just change http to https). I’ve actually got it configured to use unix sockets, which lets me treat it differently in my nginx config.

It’s probably blocked for whatever reason (maybe less than 90 days old?)

My work and Uni do the same thing, they don’t do full SSL inspection, so most websites don’t need a custom certificate authority; but if the SNI is blocked then they need a custom certificate to hijack and display a blocked message, most browsers will detect this as a MITM and display a not secure message instead.

IIRC the RTL chip inside them was originally designed for TV, so it works great! I’m actually using very cheap AliExpress clones for the TV ones, because they otherwise don’t work very well.

I’m also using the outdoor TV antenna on my roof (common in Australia, idk elsewhere), and a splitter and adaptors. And with that I get every channel with no artifacts, at 30% strength, but that’ll probably be higher with not awful SDRs.

I’ve got an interesting setup I’d like to share:

So I’ve got a Raspberry Pi with 4 RTL-SDRs, 2 for TV, 1 for radio, and 1 for plane transponders. That runs SatPi for the 2 TV SDRs, which TVHeadend running on my main server connects to, to record and stream. Jellyfin also connects to TVHeadend to properly index everything and for easy access to recordings and live TV.

Looks like 2x 4 pin fan headers:

But yeah I’ve got an AliExpress X99 board, which threw all sorts of hardware errors, had no fan speed control (100% all the time), no working hwmon sensors, and I ended up buying a used Supermicro board instead.

Will I see any performance increase?

Like others have said LLMs mostly use VRAM, they can use system RAM if you’re running them on CPU, but that’s ridiculously slow.

It will however increase the speed of your compile times, which is especially useful if you’re compiling something large like the Linux kernel on a regular basis.

I’m also worried about not having ECC RAM.

If you are using it purely for LLMs, if it’s going to get bit flips, it’ll happen in VRAM.

If you are compiling large things for customers, I’d recommend ECC, just in case, e.g. you don’t want a bricking firmware from a bit flip. But according to EDAC and my TIG stack, my server’s ECC RAM has never even detected an error in the past year, if I understand EDAC properly, so it’s really not important.

If the HOA’s router supports UPnP/NAT-PMP/PCP then you might be able to use that to get some ports forwarded.

Is it possible to send the hint from OPNsense itself?

Yes, to me it sounds like you’re already getting a big enough prefix from your ISP (all devices getting a /64), but you’ll have to request a bigger prefix from OPNsense. I believe it should give you the options to do this when you set the IPv6 mode to DHCPv6 on OPNsense, but I can’t say if your ISP router will handle it.

I have also added all Cloudflare IPs in Jellyfin’s known proxies

You should only need to add the IP of the last proxy before reaching Jellyfin, which would be Caddy.

If you can’t get the VPS to work, alternatively there’s Cloudflare but last I checked streaming was a little out of their free terms. With it, you should just have to set your AAAA record and make the cloud orange, that way Cloudflare will proxy it, and IPv4 will work. There’s also Cloudflare tunnels which lets you host websites without port forwarding anything.

Just curious, what parts aren’t open source? At a glance it seems like they’re working on supporting self hosting and I couldn’t find any binaries.

My AMD Laptop has USB 4, which is effectively the same AFAIK.

Sure it let’s you use it asynchronously, but it predates and is not really compatible with JavaScript’s async/Promise API.

Debian testing has ‘updated’ to 5.6.1+really5.4.5-1 anyway, so as long as you’ve updated within the past few days it will have been downgraded to 5.4.5.

In theory PWAs can be configured to run offline, whether they’re doing that I don’t know.

The desktop app looks like it’s electron though.

A lot of external status services just send a HTTP request to a certain url, if it succeeds then it’s up, if it errors or times out then it’s down. They also usually let you check if TCP ports do the usual handshake thing if you aren’t using HTTP.

The response time can also be used to check if a site is running slower than usual too, and if you have a use for it you can usually specify the required response code for success.

Although I wouldn’t be surprised if GitHub has some per-server analytics they can also use to estimate the load, but Instatus would work as described above.

Sometimes these sorts of things are referred to as health checks, if you’re looking for search terms. For example Docker can be set up to poll a container’s web server every few minutes, and mark it as unhealthy it if it stops replying using the HEALTHCHECK instruction in the Dockerfile.

On the ISO keyboards I’ve seen, the enter key has way more than double the surface area than ANSI, so it’s definitely not ‘just rotated 90 degrees’. Also these people probably grew up with ISO and struggle with ANSI, just like you probably grew up with ANSI and struggle with ISO.

I doubt this will be any use, but my Telstra 4G has a public IPv6.
