AI slop Hover or focus to reveal Sensitive

First and foremost... AI data centers are bad and need to be stopped. AI slop code in projects that are meant to be used for anything serious is bad, and honestly, AI is generally not great for humans. With that out of the way.... I wanted to see what the current state of things are with open source tools, open source models, and actually consumer hardware ($300 USD mini PC before the AI panic) Ryzen 5825U with 32GB RAM, and this is what I've got running thus far with opencode and north-mini-code. I have no plans to use this, but I'm quite impressed. I may actually try to vibe code some slop that never gets exposed to the internet on my long backlog of projects that I'd never write anyways. https://git.kdb424.xyz/kdb424/rustypmm #ai #vibecode #homelab

@rmbolger@mastodon.social You caught me right after I got my test domain all up and running. I gave it a glance and think it's good to have in my pocket, but a bit overkill in my lab. Thanks for the suggestion though!

Genuinely considering running CoreDNS as an authoritative nameserver for my domains just no I don't have to log into a web UI that I can't have local backups of. Am I taking git ops a bit far for a homelab, probably. Will anyone stop me? Nope. #homelab #dns

@asmcbain@woof.tech router isn't super important IMHO. I run SFP+ and base-T 2.5g switches, bt I also have a small homelab.

@asmcbain@woof.tech It's been a standard for far too long. I'm loving 2.5g starting to emerge, and I've been running 10g enterprise cards in desktops/servers for years because of that.

Updated my stack over the years, honestly mostly the last month or two mostly. Documented the changes in a blog post as I know people have been asking about how I did things. Warning, it's a long one!

Once I upload the source code of my blog to my git server, it now fully builds in CI, uploads to it's registry, and then sends a webhook to part of my gitops pipline to redeploy the swarm of containers that my VPS serves said blog from. My lab has become far too complex compared to the early days. Ironically, I now need to update a blog post about how the blog is delivered .w.

Finally got around to making an org for my homelab to keep it easy for others to see what all is open source!

Well lookie there, a blog post of what I've been up to in the homelab. When I'm quiet, something's usually coming.

Another day I can point to on why I host my own stuff. Thanks forgejo, and Codeberg for keeping it free of Gitea. Forks are great.

@asmcbain@woof.tech I like it because they never drop my package at my door, and say they can't get in my building, so they give up delivering. I just stalk the door and notifications, or have them hold for pickup. It's a problem with all carriers here to be fair.

About to build a pen plotter... 3d printers are more reliable than 2d these days I swear. No DRM on the ink on plotters as well. Half rant, half actually want to build it.

Nearly ready to open source my entire self hosted stack so people can not only see what I run, but how I do so. Only a few last secrets to get out of files before I can do so. It's been years coming, so glad I'm finally getting around to it, even if it's when I have a fairly complex homelab setup.

@konstruct@woof.tech I ran a Mac server on Epyc hardware before just to avoid Windows. As much of a nightmare as it was, I'd do it again. That said, most of my machines are some flavour of Linux.

Sometimes I wish I even knew where to start with art so I could create an OC. Then I realize that I have no clue where I'd start on making an OC. Then I give up on it all. A few months later I start the cycle again. One day... I'll break the cycle. Today I nap.

@uvok@woof.tech The only universal truth in response to that is "Don't use AI". Otherwise I find it's like any other skill. Practice. Do useless projects, do things because you can, not because you should. One of the best learning experiences for me was "It'd be funny if a keyboard firmware ran on Python", and a friend and I did it. Most of all, have fun!

Gender surgery topic, no specifics mentioned. Hover or focus to reveal Sensitive

@konstruct@woof.tech really depends on the specifics that you want, but generally it's reforming what you have into what you want.

@Purple@woof.tech if you happen to have a Linux server laying around or aren't scared of a little docker, Pinchflat makes a great archival tool for YT. Sorry to hear about the corruption, and I've been there, which is half of why I run that service
