  • Well you’re in self-hosting so if you don’t know docker yet, you’ll get the advantage of learning it. It will open up many self hosting opportunities.

    For me one advantage is just one central place for all my containers. I don’t know how the package center handles storage but the docker version you’d have clear and easy access to the storage mount and would be able to make backups before big migrations, and you could set it up on a new server in the future. Imo there’s just no reason to use the package center one unless youre not very tech savvy and don’t want to learn anything else related to self hosting. I’m just assuming package center is easier in that regard but again i haven’t used it.

    Also, when there are critical CVEs like the nextjs one found this past week allowing RCE then yeah, you want your stuff as up to date as possible. You don’t want to have to wait an unknown number of days for a downstream version to get updated. Docker let’s you get your updates straight from the source




  • Nice! I haven’t dug into the API yet. The big thing for me was actually pretty small feature but tandoor let’s me scale recipes up and down on the fly with just a click of a button. I couldn’t find that in Mealie. We do a lot of home cooking for guests and large parties so being able to quickly see the portions and scale a recipe up/down saves a lot of mental math or errors.

    Edit: though looking at mealie demo again i see some recipes let you adjust the serving. But others do not.

    Edit 2: seems to be related when ingredients aren’t parsed


    • media: jellyfin for videos, navidrome for music
    • photos: immich
    • game servers: +1 to foundryvtt if you’re into tabletop rpgs. While the core software isn’t open source, most systems are, and the pf2e system in particular is the best virtual tabletop experience you’ll have on any platform.
    • recipes: i settled on tandoor. Very much a fan of it.
    • if you’re a data nerd then chartdb for database diagraming, and cloudbeaver for database management





  • Expired domains first can be bought by registrars and then they might sell or auction it off. For instance godaddy will scoop up a lot of domains and auction them off even if it was registered somewhere else first. And unfortunately a surname.tld probably will invite domain squatters to try to get it and then charge much more for it

    You can look into something like dropcatch which they will try to get the domain for you before another registrar gets it. Look into their backorder service and just check the timing to make sure they still can try to get it.

    Regularly check the whois info (via icann lookup) to see which registrar currently has it which can help you determine if it has gone to an auction.


  • Tflops is a generic measurement, not actual utilization, and not specific to a given type of workload. Not all workloads saturate gpu utilization equally and ai models will depend on cuda/tensor. the gen/count of your cores will be better optimized for AI workloads and better able to utilize those tflops for your task. and yes, amd uses rocm which i didn’t feel i needed to specify since its a given (and years behind cuda capabilities). The point is that these things are not equal and there are major differences here alone.

    I mentioned memory type since the cards you listed use different versions ( hbm vs gddr) so you can’t just compare the capacity alone and expect equal performance.

    And again for your specific use case of this large MoE model you’d need to solve the gpu-to-gpu communication issue (ensuring both connections + sufficient speed without getting bottlenecked)

    I think you’re going to need to do actual analysis of the specific set up youre proposing. Good luck




  • Pihole can set up “groups” for different blocklists. You specify client by IP or MAC address so it doesnt matter what the dhcp server is, so long as there’s a static IP or static MAC address. My pihole server doesn’t have dhcp set up and I’m able to do this fine

    Though from personal experience this just becomes a game of cat and mouse, and if you have a motivated teenager then they will find a way to circumvent this. For example android can rotate MAC addresses, and IP addresses are trivial to spoof as well.



  • I submitted a response but if i may give some feedback, the second portion brings up:

    I am willing to pay a substantial amount for hardware required for self-hosting.

    This seemed out of place because there were no other value related questions (iirc). Such as:

    • I believe self hosting saves me money in the short term
    • i believe self hosting saves me money in the long run

    I’m sure you could also think of more. But i think it’s pretty important because between cloud service providers and any non-free apps you want to use, it can be quite costly compared to the cost of some hardware and time it takes to set things up.

    The rest of my responses don’t change but if you’re wanting to understand the impact of money in all of this, i think some more questions are needed

    Best of luck!
