  • The rats nest is behind it

    I need to re do some of the wiring.

    I have all 4 power cables braided and zip tied together with the single data cable so its nice to pull out and put back into the entertainment center.

    Only problem is I only had four 1 foot Ethernet cables and three 7 foot cables. So I used the 1 footers for the Pis and the 7 footers are bundled up as best I could and neatly hidden.

    I’m waiting on some color coordinated .5 foot cables from Cables and Kits and I will swap the switch and patch panel. I want the Pis to have that one cable and that’s it, but I also want all the patch panel ports to work.





  • Yeah!

    So i am running these three computers in a set up that let’s me manage virtual machines on them from a website with Proxmox.

    I want to play with a tool that let’s me run Docker Containers. Containers being a way to host services like websites and web apps without having to make a Virtual machine for each app.

    This has a lot of advantages but I’m trying to use the High Availability feature when you run these on a cluster of computers.

    My problem is that I know I can use the Built In container software in the already clustered Proxmox computers called LXC Linux Containers. However, I want to use a container software called Kubernetes but I would have to build Virtual machines on my servers and then cluster those virtual machines.

    Its a little confusing because I have three physical computers clustered together and I’m trying to then build three virtual computers on them and cluster those. Its an odd thing to do and that’s the problem.








  • I want someone to prove his LLM can be as insightful and accurate as paid one.

    Are you using LLMs as search engines?

    Bold.

    I use Gemma, LLama 3.2, and Deepseek to either fix formatting, summarize documentation to give me commands for Linux software, and write simple code structure for me to refine into working code.

    Sure it takes longer to generate than a cloud compute would, but

    1. privacy obviously. I know you dismissed it but that’s really the biggest reason anyone will have.

    2. this feels better environmentally. I actually don’t know if that’s true, but it objectively touches less computers for such simple tasks. It would be wasteful of infrastructure to do it over the web.

    3. it’s just cooler to have a conversation with my computer. I’ve learned a lot about how the whole process works and that’s more valuable to me as a non dev than just getting the end results.
