This is why I went back to a simple snapraid and Mergerfs setup. It only spins up the disk it uses, slow but a lot more efficient. It also is based on dead simple ext4 drives which are all still accessible even if the software fails; it’s all file level. I’ve lost many drives over the years and have successfully rebuilt every time.
Scale is about the same as yours, about 24tb made up of 4 and 10tb disks. It’s unglamorous, it’s old school but it works and is reliable.
Nope, nothing useful. Right now I am playing with making some skills to do some rudimentary network testing. I figure it’s always nice to have a remote system to ping or nslookup or check a website from a remote location. I have it hooked to a telegram bot (burner account and restricted to just me) and I can ask it to ping or get me a screenshot or speedtest, etc. from anything it can reach on the internet.
Only purpose right now is to have something to show off :).
lol, straight from the redundant department of redundancies.
I do words good.
Yeah, it’s a huge disaster waiting to happen. I am playing with it because it is some interesting learning but completely sandboxed, using a local LLM, and I have given it no personal information. It’s really cool to see it work, to watch the communication between it and the LLM.
But seriously, I’d never, ever attempt playing with it without my decades of infrastructure experience. I’d never give it public access nor any personal information. Still, I am encouraged that it’s functional enough in an entirely self hosted stack to be able to learn and play. I still think the future of AI should be local and openclaw, despite its fundamental issues is the first time I’ve played with AI and could conceive a future use case.
In the end, I think the bubble will pop, I just hope the other side has something of value to come out of all this insanity. As brick stupid as openclaw is, it’s at least enough of a proof of concept to keep a sliver of hope that there may be.
I am playing with it, sandboxed in an isolated environment, only interacting with a local LLM and only connected to one public service with a burner account. I haven’t even given it any personal info, not even my name.
It’s super fascinating and fun, but holy shit the danger is outrageous. Multiple occasions, it’s misunderstood what I’ve asked and it will fuck around with its own config files and such. I’ve asked it to do something and the result was essentially suicide as it ate its own settings. I’ve only been running it for like a week but have had to wipe and rebuild twice already (probably could have fixed it, but that’s what a sandbox is for). I can’t imagine setting it loose on anything important right now.
But it is undeniably cool, and watching the system communicate with the LLM model has been a huge learning opportunity.
I hate you for this.
(I don’t hate you, I just hate how right you are good person).
I’m know kids these days who are preferring a dumb phone, now physical media is making a comeback.
Has our surveillance economy finally backfired enough that people are starting to reclaim ownership? God I hope so.
I have. I’m working on consolidating and figuring out a plan. I’m admittedly less astute financially than I should. Didn’t really expect all this shit to happen.
She’s antivax, especially when it comes to the mRNA vaccines, she claims they are a government experiment that we were forced to undergo. She conveniently ignores that the phizer was available and you weren’t mandated unless you wanted access to public services.
They would lose me, if I had an alternative. In my neighborhood it’s cable or 1mbps DSL. Neighborhoods across the street to the east and west both have nice and cheap fiber but my neighborhood is older than one and less affluent than the other.
He said the platitudes that needed to be said. Did you watch his remarks? He said a lot without words too.
He’s in a terrible situation. A madman is terrorizing his state, doing everything possible to incite an incident. Walz does not want to have a civil war start in his state. Now, many may disagree with preventing such an incident, and I can understand that, but I also understand the shit sandwich he’s being forced to eat.
I’m angry at the perpetrators not the victims.
I’m late 40’s right now, always assumed social security was a pipe dream so I’ve diligently put away money in 401ks and IRA’s. I no longer believe they will be worth anything much longer.
Was a nice country, for a little while, at least that’s what my parent’s generation tells me, I’ve never been here for it.
The his really is the epstein administration, isn’t it.
Good advice, thanks.
I have someone like that in my life. To this day they think masking and “forced gene modifications” are a bigger deal than what happening now. I’ve been lectured so many times about how anger at what’s going on is just being political.
The resulting power vacuum would result in something far worse. Our best chance is to revive this dead democracy and fix the shit that allowed this to happen.
I don’t think that’s possible though with this electorate.
Pretty sure they already have been. I’m convinced more money makes you more stupid.
It’s a lot of fun, but not an internet replacement yet. They did just come out with a new dual band that has enough bandwidth to do something useful. Can’t wait to give it a try.
Still very worth setting up. I have a node that runs in my attic, and a few that I can take around with me. I can get good single most anywhere in my neighborhood, and I have enough nodes nearby that I can pretty much communicate with people all over the metro area (I’m in the twin cities).
It is the way.
I wholeheartedly agree. Hell, home server/nas should be more common than cars, I don’t drive every day, but my data is used every minute of every day.
