Lol is it bad this is the reason I setup a self hosted gitea instead of GitHub

I’ve recently been getting into programming for work. Which of course has got me trying to learn more about AI. I’m still a super amateur. I started with bing AI cause that free gpt4 access and bypassing the 4k character limit by telling bing not to reply until I’m done. Now I’m primarily using free plan of phind and its vscode extension. Which I really like. I don’t use the buttons that write code as I always write code myself and rarely copy paste. Helps me learn. I just like that it’s quicker without crazy character limits.

I did recently see that you can pay for bing AI in VS code. Then it got me thinking if I’m gonna pay then I want to make sure it is for something good and prob not Microsoft. So considering paying for phind but now I am trying to look into what others are doing. There’s a world of products I’ve never heard of like hugging face. So I guess it’s time to start my journey on finding which one works best for me. I’ve recently degoogled myself so haven’t really touched bard but if Gemini proves worth it I may.

Just rambling thoughts from a self taught noob programmer.

I too would like to know. I use the app Due on iOS. And it is nice and not a sub (though after 1 year you technically need to buy it again IF you want features that released into the app after 1 year of your purchase. It’s also iOS only and doesn’t let others force a notification on you. But if they have the app they can create a notification and text you a custom link to auto add that notification to your app. For anyone reading who is on iOS and wants something like this. due is really cool. Notifications but with a lot of customization. Most important feature is that you can use critical alerts. So like an alarm it can override silence mode or focuses to notify you every X minute until you snooze or dismiss. Can also disable snooze but then I find my self dismissing without actually doing it.

Either way a platform agnostic proper notification system sounds right up my alley. Just googling around I found Apprise and Mind might look into that later (don’t know nearly enough to say if it’s a viable alternative to Galarm or Due but seems extensive and lightweight.

+1 for silver bullet. Love it. PWA works great. And it works offline I believe.

Yeah thankfully I use Arch Linux. Their wiki guide was much better.

I used the desktop drivers as well (on arch from the extra repo) for my headless arch server.

Regarding nvidia container toolkit once it was installed I added this to my Jellyfin docker compose:

deploy:
      resources:
        reservations:
          devices:
            - driver: nvidia
              capabilities: [gpu]

Then to confirm, I did docker exec -it jellyfin nvidia-smi Which responded with my GPU. Note that (for me) the “processes” part of nvidia-smi comes up blank, even when Jellyfin is using it. I can tell it is working though from jellyfin logs and when it is not using it, instead of being blank it says “no processes”

Edit for formatting and to add that I believe I also had to add an environment variable to jellyfin (I am using lsio’s version)

      - NVIDIA_DRIVER_CAPABILITIES=all
      - NVIDIA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=all

Once you do get the drivers installed properly as per your OS (speaking of, which distro are you using? Edit: nvm I see you are on Ubuntu), here are the steps to give docker access to it: https://docs.nvidia.com/datacenter/cloud-native/container-toolkit/latest/install-guide.html

Yeah this post had me a little worried I’m doing something wrong haha. But I do it just like that. Compose file per stack.

You try borg?

Yeah I started with a headless Ubuntu server and it was real nice. I’m finally ready to leave Ubuntu though and want to switch to a headless NixOS server.

Love caddy. Took a little bit for me to understand but it’s an amazing tool. I barely use a fraction of its capabilities.

Another vote for Fastmail. In my recent effort to degoogle I switched to Fastmail and I love it.

Yeah I didn’t see the option until I started using their mobile app.

That would be neat. I recently started using Fastmail which offers a feature for this. They have some info on how it works which could give ideas to selfhost. Like which headers it uses. https://www.fastmail.help/hc/en-us/articles/6905792637967-Unsubscribe

Yes that should be totally possible. Only thing I can think of is making sure your IP is white listed for next cloud.

Authentik. I really like it !

I’m new with Tailscale. I understand that they don’t manage accounts and require another service like google or apple. That initially turned me off. Then I set up via my sso provider and works great.

Glad whatever guide I was using gave me the redirects for caddy and have had no issues with Nextcloud.

Wow thank you for the detailed response. After reading through it i think I agree with raid 10 being my best option. Gonna start reading into it more and how to set it up! These hard drives aren’t new so being safe against at least one drive failure sounds safe. Can easily replace one if it goes out. Hopefully 2 don’t go out at the same time but it looks like I potentially will still be safe if so.

RAID is something I haven’t learned yet but really should.

My server has 4 4TB hard drives. Sounds like I could do RAID10 and only have 4TB of storage. Or RAID5 and 8TB?

Right now I have no raid. 1/4 of my hard drives has about 700GB of data and is movie and shows. 2/4 hard drive has 91GB and is photos and cloud data. 3/4 is blank and 4/4 is borg backups from my desktop and server and second hard drive currently at 120GB. My media drive has no backups right now and is not really being used.

It sounds like I could put all of my data on hard drive 1 which will only be about 1TB and then have RAID so that data is secure.

I would like having 8TB storage with raid 5. But maybe raid 10 is smarter and if I want more storage I’ll have to get more drives.
