  • Arch Linux limitations?

    Jump

  • There are cuda packages for arch. I can confirm they work.

    https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/GPGPU

    Edit- to add i haven't found arch's limit, it feels like i am bound only by my own limit in my time, ability, and willingness to tinker with my setup. arch itself is widely supported, it has many official packages through pacman, and then additional through the "arch user repository" (AUR) so chances are most of the things you want or need have a package that can be installed with an AUR helper (like yay/paru which install from both pacman and AUR). In other distros you get more of a one-size fits all and you lose some of that ability to change things whereas arch you're giving a minimal setup and left to build the system to your liking. It does take more time and expertise than other distros but it does give you more control. For me the trade off was an easy decision, but it's not something i blanket recommend to everyone.

  • Very large amounts of gaming gpus vs AI gpus

    Jump

  • 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

  • Very large amounts of gaming gpus vs AI gpus

    Jump

  • The table you're referencing leaves out CUDA/ tensor cores (count+gen) which is a big part of the gpus, and also not factoring in type of memory. From the comments it looks like you want to use a large MoE model. You aren't going to be able to just stack raw power and expect to be able to run this without major deterioration of performance if it runs at all.

    Don't forget your MoE model needs all-to-all communication for expert routing

  • Pi-hole client filtering without DHCP?

    Jump
    • Custom DNS servers specified on the device to circumvent the pihole
    • dns over https or tls
    • hotspot from approved device
    • alternative YouTube front ends

    These are just off the top of my head. Best case scenario the blocking does work and the teen never tries to bypass it. They'll still just move onto "wasting" time on something else. This is treating the symptom and not the root cause.

  • Pi-hole client filtering without DHCP?

    Jump

  • 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.

  • What are the advantages/disadvantages of the different backup solutions?

    Jump

  • Haven't used all of those but my recommendation would be to just start trying them. Start small, get a feel for it and expand usage or try a different backup solution. You should be able to do automatic backups for any of them either directly or setting up your own timer/cron jobs (which is how i do it with rsync).

  • Your help needed: PhD research on why people choose to self-host

    Jump

  • 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!

  • What's your favorite IDE right now?

    Jump

  • I use vscodium and it is available on AUR (vscodium / vscodium-bin). Supposedly there are some plugins not available for it, but i don't use a ton of plugins and the ones I used in vscode were available in vscodium when i switched.

  • Website Launched!

    Jump

  • For some background, it turns out organic maps had a for profit llc registered and long poised itself as free and open source. When the llc was discovered the community volunteers wrote an open letter

    When their concerns were not answered they forked the project and created CoMaps which in theory is supposed to be everything organic maps ever portrayed itself as.

  • Canonical Will Donate $120k to Open Source Projects This Year

    Jump

  • On one hand it is nice to see companies give back.

    On the other hand, their revenue was $249 million in 2023 and their income after expenses/taxes was 8 million.

    • 120,000 / 249,000,000 = 0.048% of revenue.
    • 120,000 / 8,000,000 = 1.5% of their income.

    It just seems like a small amount to give back for how much they are bringing in.

  • Jellyfin troubles - phone cannot reach

    Jump

  • You're not connected to wifi or vpn from the looks of it. jellyfin is hosted on your local network. You need to be connected to that network for any device you want to access it. The most direct way is to connect via wifi. If you want access from outside your house you'll need to look into opening a remote connection via something like cloudflare tunnel

  • wget to Wipeout: Malicious Go Modules Fetch Destructive Payload

    Jump

  • Interesting that it sounds like it is immediately overwriting the whole primary drive rather than trying to exfiltrate any data (or anything else) first

  • Self Hosted OpenSource Projectmanagement Tool

    Jump

  • Logseq to some extent, but it's set up to be a journal/ meeting notes where you tag pages, add documents, etc. it would be up to how you've tagged things. Does have a graph view of your pages and whiteboard feature.

    Personally it wasn't exactly what i wanted out of a PKM but it is really powerful. It's intended to handle taking notes efficiently from meetings and then somewhat self organizing the notes as long as you tag stuff.

  • What webapps do you selfhost that aren't media/game servers?

    Jump

  • Foundry was the 2nd thing i started self hosting (the first being pihole). Have had it running for 5 years now.

    Other than that i only recently started expanding my self hosting:

    • tandoor recipes
    • navidrome (for music, mentioning it since it isn't the typical media server recommendation)
    • personal knowledge management (pkm) static website that i build with hugo
    • umami analytics
    • Remark42 for comment system on one of my internal static websites
    • a few smaller things that i built. One is a discord bot from before i started hating discord, and then a few web apps that i haven't open sourced yet

  • Linus Torvalds Expresses His Hatred For Case-Insensitive File-Systems

    Jump

  • Python is case sensitive. I think they're saying their coworkers are writing case insensitive code which is causing errors (perhaps writing myFunction and then calling it via myfunction which would result in an undefined error)

  • Reddit infiltrators, need a shortened Lemmy link to evade Reddit filtering? DM me

    Jump

  • Without knowing what reddit is doing, I'm not sure. A JS redirect could be detected, but if OPs paid shortener service is working then reddit is probably working off a simple domain block list. In that case you could use throw away domains.

    But JS redirect, proxy response, etc all could just become a game of cat and mouse. Just depends how motivated either side is. But given how big reddit is, i think you'd have the advantage at least in the beginning. Just gets expensive since each time your domain gets blocked you'll be paying to register a new one.

  • Reddit infiltrators, need a shortened Lemmy link to evade Reddit filtering? DM me

    Jump

  • I'm not familiar with the reddit filtering but have you tried using cloudflare page rules? You can try capturing everything after the .tld and then forward it to a lemmy server. So for instance somedomain.tld/12345 could forward to lemmy.world/post/12345. If reddit is checking links for 301 redirects to lemmy though then that wouldn't work.

    A more advanced approach would be to use a cloudflare worker to do a proxy response so the status code is returned as 200 OK instead of 301 redirect. I haven't tried that but i think that would be much harder for them to block and you could always make more elaborate urls to make it harder to find obvious lemmy-like structure
