This is 2015 all over again where IoT hit mainstream consumers and every project on Kickstarter was a simple thing that doesn’t need Bluetooth with added Bluetooth.

Still scummy as fuck.

This is just the first of many, slow changes to close off Android and milk the userbase.

My experience in using the government phone services through the years have always been positive, especially compared to non governmental services.

I have setup NetBird with Authentik. Netbird is on a VPS and authentik on my home server.

NetBird allows to expose a service through a subdomain. Or you can use the netbird client as a VPN and allow peer to peer connection.

I think it’s important that people see these conversations. Not everyone is aware of the impact of LLMs and if it changes the mind of at least a person, this is not a wasted effort.

I don’t feel like OP is a robot with how its response are written, but we never know.

I said it in a previous comment: we are not here to debate LLM use.

You are right, but people want to know if you used LLMs or not because they might not want to use a project with LLM generated code.

Because LLMs are less ethical than humans, of course. :)

Ethics vary from person to person. We are in a programming community, so the focus is on code and not other subjects.

I am not brave enough to carry on my own shoulders the fight against the consequences of a world that has always run after “I need more”. I admit it

I understand the feeling and I do not blame people for using LLM but companies and corporations for pushing LLM down our throats. It could have been a nice tool, but now its effects are a net negative for the planet in the hope of capturing the market. But this isn’t the place to discuss that.

If we are talking ethics seriously, the browser you used to type these lines, the terminal, the text editor, the compiler, the PC, the phone, all of those raise much bigger ethical questions than an AWS services emulator that the audience here has not even tested. (Yes, that one is a bit of a troll.)

It doesn’t mean that using a LLM doesn’t have an impact because other factors have bigger impact. Every small decision we make has an impact in the long run, but this isn’t the community to discuss that.

I wasn’t the original OP you were responding to, but I felt compelled to give you a reason why people want to know about if a LLM is used or not because this is a hot topic and and I subject I feel strongly about.

I think that in the current context, presenting a project to the public like that will inevitably bring the question about LLM uses.

You have been open and concise about how Claude was used and from that point on, how people react to it is not in your control.

I appreciate that you responded thoroughly to my reply, even though it wasn’t needed.

People want to know about LLM use for various reason.

I think the main reason is an ethical one. LLMs use a lot energy, datacenters are bad for the environment, people lose their job due to AI, LLMs are trained on stolen data. There is many reasons why someone would not want an LLM project.

And let’s be real, there is a lot of issues with app being vibe coded and being shit real fast.

So when presenting a project to the world, people will definitely ask, and you can respond or not, and be on your way.

It’s naive to think that people won’t use LLMs, but it’s also naive to think that people only care about the end results, especially on a platform where people are generally more sensitive to ethical considerations.

Time to learn python or javascript. You will learn a real language and get away from a Microsoft product.

That is way above my database knowledge. I will need to read up on that.

Thanks for the input

You say it’s easier to back up tightly coupled services and databases, but why?

Because it is set and forget in my docker compose. I can backup the container and bring it down without affecting other services.

But that is my inexperience talking and this is is why I wanted to see what other people were doing, and having perspective like yours to learn.

That’s a good perspective.

Also I hate docker in general. I understand why people use it. It’s the same reason I use it.

I am the same. But many services offer docker as the main installation method and many times, the bare metal method is poorly documented.

So docker it is. And it’s a good skill to have no matter what since it is so widespread.

I never thought about the issues of setting a docker service with an external database. I don’t mind dealing with the users and tables of a database, but having to dig deep in docker compose settings is always a bad time.

I bought some low capacity SSD for 20$ each to install Proxmox and Proxmox Backup Server and was lucky that they both had only roughly 800 hours only, so that at least worked out for me

How many hours when you got them?

The one I find have a high number of hours

When you got them, how many hours were they at?

The HDD I see around me have 60k hours ++ so I am a bit frisky considering what they ask for

I mean, I’ve been running lots of services on 256GB, but none of them were media servers haha.

My current ARR stack is a share of 1TB on a 2TB SSD, so I get you.

10TB was pocket change not too long ago, now it’s so expensive. Unreal.

I’m lucky because my TV is 1080p so i can download lower resolution movies and series.

I just have a 2TB server, for all my services, so I allocate 1TB for the ARR stack and the rest for my other services.

80TB would be nice haha.

I should probably add maintainerr to my services, would help me keep my files space low.

40TB is wild.

My plan is to pile a bit of money and try to buy used lots of HDD and test them for health and create a JBOD storage.

I just setup the ARR stack and you can use a docker compose file to manage all the services. Then you need to create individual account for the services but that is straight forward.

I have a 2TB ssd for my whole server. I had 2x 2TB SSD in my pc that were collecting dust, so I took them out and used one for my server and one for my backup server.

So I can allocate about 1TB for Jellyfin
