This is actually an interesting answer. I am in the process of reading the main book as of now and I can already feel it won’t be enough. I did find out recently about rustlings and that is actually quite nice to have a feel on the language. I do think however more is needed, and as you mentioned, doing small programs should help. Problem is: where to even start? I find incredibly hard to have ideas on things to do on the smaller scale that are good for learning opportunities. Also another thing I am equating to do is to actually just read existing working code of some Foss project. I still didn’t find one that is good to already see patterns and other nuances, but if someone knows that would be very helpful.

What we are seeing right now is a massive backlash on how llms got advertised and subsequent effects (I mean, did you see the price of ram lately?). The thing is, if this got advertised and grew in a responsible manner, all of this would not exist. We would have most people evaluating llms as tools instead of being the anti Christ. It is a shame, but it is what we have. Also, I do think llms will be better in the future, but much smaller than what we have now (and more local as well).

I am not sure yet what are quadlets but I will check. Thanks!

Nice thanks for the tip! I will look into it and see if I can do something about it

I actually tried to switch to podman from docket but I have a major hold up. On my docker setup for my arr stack I have gluetun, and basically how I setup gluetun with the rest is setting up ports on gluetun for the services and for the other services I have a depends on, to make sure gluetun is up before the rest. However I tried to look several times how to do this on podman but no luck. Does anyone here has an idea how this works?

Can also check one more time wireguard directly. Thanks!

I get what you’re saying, but how exactly the whole IP rotation is done in your case? How did you manage to have it accessible at all times even when your home IP changes? In my home I actually have ipv6 which I am not sure if it does not make things more difficult

Never heard of this one, will check once I can

If you check my edit that is kind of what I was hoping to do from the start: have a hop server (or stepping stone, both terms apply), and from there I do what I need to do

Never tried hidden services from tor. Can check how that works but not sure if it is the solution I am looking for. Thanks for the info anyways!

Ah great, this sounds like what I was missing with tailscale. With try once I can, thanks!

I will check if this can work for me, but sounds like it is the kind of solution I am looking for

I think I did set this option, but still no internal IP. Can try again later to be sure

I do not have Nat of any kind that I am aware

Basically when I connect to tailscale I just can’t get it to give an internal IP so I can access everything with my configs. Unless I am missing something obvious, I don’t understand what is going on here.

I’ve seen way too many times people getting a console because of an exclusive. Now the thing is, we are entering on a very dry hardware season where prices gone to shit (and yes consoles also increased prices), so does Sony really thinks people will be super willing to get an overpriced console on the current economy because of a single exclusive? Sounds like a losing strategy

That is some wild shit. Anyways for anyone else somewhat new to all this: when hosting anything, try to stick to reputable projects 1st and be always wary of shady installation tactics (I believe yesterday someone posted about curl bash. This is just a single example). If you want to try something new (as in brand new project), try it isolated 1st on some VM (proxmox helps a lot with this). When you are confident and more people give an approval, then think about putting on the main environment

I wish half of the time at least a project status update was written in a fun way. Thanks for developing this further!

You are not wrong that is not mandatory. However, my advice usually for people starting on self hosting that most often than not it is better to over spec a bit more always on HDD, and second the ram. But since prices for ram went to shit, over spec the HDD is still an option for some.

Tell that to my arr stack
