what is my purpose?
“You’re a VPN and you filter ads via DNS.”
fucking sweet, man. Glad I’m not an emulation console.
sigh I loved it when my Unifi would let me run everything in my gateway. I get why they moved away from the podman solution, but it was so convenient.
Are you me?
RPI: Actually dying
Me: Gitlab time
Sweet baby Jesus. Reminds me of folks running Lemmy on them and wondering why their SD card is always failing 😅
I was running lemmy on it too until a few days ago. I had an SSD for the database though.
oh and the gitlab instance was the straw that broke the camel’s back for the Pi, I ended up going with forgejo instead.How is Forgejo these days?
I like it better than gitlab, gitlab is too cluttered and has loads of features I don’t need. forgejo will be a lot better when they get federation going though
Slap a USB NVMe IN there and be done with it.
lol. Sir, I only have 4 cores and 8GB
YOU DONT KNOW ME SON
I setup a k8s rpi cluster for this reason, and now I just have 4 overloaded pis 🙃
Could you not just actually build a dedicated PC for that price? Lol
But then he won’t have a k8s rpi cluster
This is the real reason
I mean you could have a smaller cluster
and the power consumption adds up, too.
This is true. Really annoyed that arm as a hole isn’t being utilized like it could be by really anyone but apple. We could be making arm Linux powerhouses that sip power like a mid tier x86 laptop. The worry by some is that there is now way to do this without having every component solderd on, but dell has already made a new open laptop ram slot standard that has almost the same latency as Apple’s soldered ram.
Arm is the future, and needs to be treated as such more than it is.
I mean, it’s not just Apple, Google is all in on ARM and has been for like a decade and a half.
As for the laptop, look up framework
Yeah but Chromebooks suck, apple is making computers that aren’t just for web browsing
Pis are only 5W, right? 4 of them should still add up to about as much as a midweight laptop.
I do also have a dedicated PC as a NAS, the rpi cluster was more for learning. And k8s does provide some cool flexibility
Sounds like k3s would be right up your alley, it’s API compatible with k8s but has a lot less overhead than k8s, designed for use on low power devices like the Pi.
I found that for my use case (jellyfin, gitea, portainer, nextcloud, adguard, …) the pis are still nearly idle but the bottleneck for me was ram. Anyone with similar experience?
Shit, I just realized my NAS is less powerful than a modern Pi. It’s only a dual core, 1.6GHz Atom with 1.8GB ram.
That’s not even nearly as powerful as a pi 4. At least on paper
what architecture is the CPU?
X86_64 It’s an Acer H340, it originally ran windows home server starting in 2009 but I switched to Debian in 2016. It has run the entire 14 years less about a week of power outages.
I see myself in this picture, and I don’t like it 😂😂😂 that’s why I’m running 2 pi’s 😁 photoprism, pihole, pivpn, unbound, portainer, and multiple HDD setup with cron jobs as a nas, and another pi with heimdal, pihole, pivpn. Unify controller, NUT server… Prob forgetting some lpl, Looking to add a lot more docker containers… So ya… This meme got me in the feels lol
I feel you. I don’t know your usecase for photoprism, but do you know immich? https://immich.app
I really appreciate you making me aware of immich!! Think I may host it on my other pi, and give it a try out, have photosprism and immich on separate pi and see which I like better 😊 thanks!!
This is why I bought myself a server (consumer pc with 40TB) that does all that for only 1000€
I used an old laptop I had with a broken screen. Werks
I used to have my own server for 4 years. It was my personal compute with virtual machine and 10TB. Then I checked my electricity bill, it was so expensive I rebase everything on a single RockPro64 with a raid 1. Hardware budget is not that expensive, but you should definitly calculate how much electricty will weighs on your house budget
Thin clients!
I dumped all my pis late last year and bought a $30 thin client with better specs and more io.
Tiny mini micro!
I’ve got an old PowerEdge tower server sitting in my basement that I picked up for $300 on eBay. Dual 6-core Xeons. It’s running probably 7 Ubuntu VM’s in Hyper-V and not even breaking a sweat. Still need to get the GPU passthrough for Jellyfin configured though.
Eating $70 in power a month.
It might if it were really working hard but at idle it draws around 160 watts.
Edit: I was close. 140 watts.
My power edge R630 was eating way too much power… It’s off and being replaced with a second consumer grade PC to be my second host.
I don’t really have anything that takes enough clocks to justify that pig of a machine.
Wait, we’re supposed to justify getting new servers? You don’t just hoard them like blank notebooks?
Well, I was… But dual 700w power supplies running a whole lot of VMs was a bit too much power draw.
My 5700g proxmox host, switches, access points, and modem use 120 watts according to my UPS. That’s $10/month in my $0.12/kWh geographical area.
How much power does this thing draw?
Can anyone tell me of I can run a Plex server and a pi hole on the new raspberry 8gig ?
yes, but I would recommend transcoding everything for direct play before putting it on the server
Or just disable transcoding and play in full quality
Probably? I believe the pihole is pretty low resource. I have mine on a Zero.
Ty
Im running jellyfin and pihole on a 4gb and have not encountered any issues. 8gb should be more than enough
Ok ty for the info.
Am I the only person that thinks this meme doesn’t make sense? Hulk’s giving Antman tacos because Antman lost his tacos and would very much appreciate the generous offer.
yeah, its ironic
I so feel this meme… and just putting it out there that there’s a good chance that pretty soon NUCs are likely to be deeply on sale.
Why do you say that about the NUCs?
Because they were just recently discontinued by Intel and generally speaking discontinued equipment tends to go on sale.
All you need is Lemmy.
Lemmy is Love.
Lemmy is Life.
I made a TV network on mine using a SSD, VLC, and some recordings, a composite to coax converter, and some DVDs I bought from a thrift store. Works pretty well.
Just buy another Raspberry
