Yeah, I just glanced at the top few drives I’ve pulled from my three NAS (bigger drive in there now) - two 500gb and a 4tb.

I’ve also got a ps3 sitting around, so maybe some weekend fun since I haven’t touched it in years.

Yeah all of my servers are on usff PC’s, so I get it.

If you do a hypervisor like proxmox, then throw your NVR in a VM, you can just create a couple of virtual NICs (though you’ll be back at that FW issue I’m sure).

USB NICs are pretty well supported these days though, and cheap to boot. Just need to be certain you’ve got usb3 if you want to make use of that gig though!

I’ve got a few pi-a-likes that I’m doing similar camera fun with, though using some webcams in there and a 3d printed case. At least that way they match my diy temp sensors with esp32s!

Dual nic NVR then? You could even just throw a simple switch with no uplink (but preferably managed so you can tag the traffic) and for extra safety just allow only the LAN traffic you want on the NIC/Port connected to your regular LAN from the NVR.

Nothing wrong with a DIY can though! As long as it works of course

Reolink, amcrest. Amcrest dont get anything starting with ASH in the model name.

If you want ONVIF, be sure to check the specs, many cheaper models drop support, but not all.

Some YI cameras have easily replaced firmware and can do rtsp too, but you have to do your homework on those models to be sure you’re getting one that can be modded.

You’ll still want to (IMO) toss any of them in a vlan without internet access, and rather than provide that vlan access to an NVR on another vlan, I’d lean toward your NVR having a second connection to that vlan. I’m a huge fan of segmentation though, so YMMV.

I’ve definitely trimmed some artists from my personal music library over their politics.

I still think that’s why Vance thinks Haitians are eating cats.

The US doesn’t want that either.

Be quiet, resident of “Further North Dakota”.

Part of why I’m collecting up whatever ones I find to use for my small electronics projects… Even saw someone recently use about 50 or so to make a nice battery bank (was posted here to Lemmy)

I’ve been using them as the overnight batteries for solar powered projects (like wled controlled lights). I’ll be happy to get batteries elsewhere instead and reduce the massive waste.

Yup, xmpp is the way to be still IMO.

Yes but it wasn’t marketed that way. Which is why there is more interest.

Apple has been blatantly obvious that they want it to remain proprietary and exclusively on their hardware.

Because imessage is proprietary and apple is against it being publicly available and a standard.

OK, so what you probably won’t get much out of would be load balancing knowledge, from your description the CPU far outpaces everything else you have running services today. To get a good handle on that sort of thing, its handy to have comparable hardware for each node.

But the CPU is more than enough for most general task services, so yeah that will do fine. In terms of the GPU, yes, that will work for AI tasks as far as I know, most of the hardware I’m using for that is work stuff I get my hands on, so I couldn’t tell you much about the performance of the 3070 specifically, and I doubt a 6000 Ada as a reference w9uld be helpful, so maybe others can chime in on that aspect.

Since its mostly for learning, yeah, go for it. If you want to run i5 24x7, I’d probably want to separate out some of that CPU from that PSU purely for power management/cost to run, but yes its more than adequate for most services you’d throw on there.

Most of the servers I’m running are using a CPU that came out about 5 years before that Ryzen, but they are also lower wattage systems. Since they dont need a ton of CPU at all times, this is more the ideal for continually running home services, but not the only way to do it.

So build away and enjoy

Because this is where the money is universally going, and no, its not “readily available” for most.

I can do it.

ALS patients and their families, in terms of what’s covered, are getting mostly the same as what was available 5-10 years ago. This isn’t about focusing on the negative, this is just where things are right now. Services to recreate a voice for tts to folks with ALS or similar issues are insanely expensive, to the point of being exploitative.

So I say it because its the truth.

Work for… What exactly?

Server requirements vary, depending on what they are doing.

ETA: I run about a dozen servers at home. Of them, none are more than what you have there. And I run a lot of services on each. Its what they are doing that matters.

What’s awful about this is, this technology would be amazing for some people.

My father had ALS, the first thing to go was his voice. As a result, the tools at the time to give him his own voice back (using text-to-speech apps) couldn’t make due with what we had, we would have needed to have the recordings of the specific sounds already in specific phrases.

Since then, there have been improvements in leaps and bounds. I could remake his voice today with what I have of him on video. I wish I could have done this for him when he was alive. My daughter could have heard him speak in his own voice, instead of a meh sounding tts voice or a family member reading what he said to her.

But instead of looking to doing amazing things like that for people, we get companies pulling this bullshit.

Oh I’m not complaining. Its quick and simple to navigate. I don’t need flash, I need function.

I wouldn’t mind updates with that aspect kept in mind, but I’m not going to complain about it either. I think more websites could use debian.org as an example.

A core developer quit and forked it to make freenginx, based on a claim of corporate interference in security practices.

This was about 6 months ago and probably what you are thinking of. Its still open source, there doesn’t seem to be anything that’s come of the issue that was the cause of the split, and nginx is still actively developed.

it feels like when Debian had a website in 2015 that looked like 1997

As a Debian user… Its the same in 2024.
