Hello all

I've been playing around for 3 weeks now and there's a lot of good info here and elsewhere, but since I'm not working in IT and don't code, I'd be curious to know more about the setup of others in my situation

Currently my main use for my local llm is a general assistant to replace the well known cloud LLMs and to integrate with Home Assistant eventually (it is working, but I didn't play around much yet)

I recently upgraded to 32GB of (old) VRAM and currently have the following running: - OpenWebUI frontend - Gemma 4 26B-A3B (Q4_K_M) (running in llama.cpp) - Flux2 Klein 9B (running in diffusers with a simple python server that OpenWebUI can call, offloaded to CPU when not in use

Hello all

i've been using Jellyfin for 2 years now and I'm happy with my setup. The only small thing that bothers me is that anytime I start a stream, even if it's direct playing, the video starts for 1 second or two, then buffer for another second or two before starting normally

I use mainly Jellyfin for Kodi with the plugin in Add-on mode, but some users reported the same on the Android TV client

Although it's not a big issue and it's probably due to the time it takes for the server to read/buffer the file itself, I would expect it to delay the stream enough for this to not happen. I've looked at all the available settings and can't find a way to fix it and I couldn't find anything on g

I know this kind of question comes up frequently, but since I couldn't find one that fits the same parameters, I figured I would ask:

Amazon, Aliexpress and all are full of nice-looking slim touch screens of all sizes, but in most cases, the connectors (HDMI, USB, etc) are on the sides. I understand that's the only way for them to keep the whole product as slim as possible, but it makes it difficult to cleanly wallmount them without making an outer frame since the cables aren't hidden

Since I prefer to get an HDMI touch screen than an Android (or Apple) tablet, so that I can easily (and transparently) upgrade the hardware or the OS behind, did you guys found nice (and ideally affordable) H

Hello all

I'm looking to buy 1 or 2 rackmount servers to replace some of my older towers

Since I need a few PCIe lanes, I'm looking for a 2U server or a server that support PCIe bifurcation.

Some example, but not limited to:

Dell PowerEdge R630 (since it supports bifurcation) or R730 HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9

Ideally with Xeon v4 CPUs and rails/mounts, but I can get them separately if it's worth it

I'm open to newer generation, depending on price.

I'm located in QC and I would drive from Ottawa to a bit further than Quebec City

Hello guys,

I'm looking for an HP Gen9 or Dell 13 gen server, ideally 2U (HP DL380p G9 or Dell r730 for instance). I don't mind if it's LFF or SFF as I don't yet have plans regarding drives.

I'm in Quebec and can drive between Ottawa and Quebec City or a bit further, shipping could be a possibility if not too expensive

Let me know if you have something similar!

Thanks

A lot of users shares their wall mounted dashboard and as I am rethinking my current setup, I decided I don't want to use a tablet anymore as it becomes a mess to upgrade when the hardware ages and gets too slow/unresponsive

I'm looking for a tablet-like solution but with no computing, so basically just a touch screen that I could wallmount and that would look nice so that I can connect it to any computer I want (may it be an Android Box, a raspberry pi or a full PC)

Does anybody uses something similar? Any suggestions? Ideally, it would have VESA mount holes, be slim, have connectors on the back (and not the bottom like most of the ones I see) and have a bezel that looks like a nice fini

I'm moving to a new place and I'm redoing my network, almost from scratch. My SSID is the same since I got my first appartement and is a bit silly. I'm still looking for a replacement, probably something simple, maybe a little funny but no as weird/silly.

If you were redoing your network, I'm curious to know what would be your SSID!

Hey all,

I am rethinking some of my setup and I am looking for a doorbell or intercom that would work 100% locally, so I guess SIP call is my best bet?

I know Grandstream as one (GDS3710) and I have seen a few from Fanvil but I can't find much good info on them

Is anyone using something similar and having a suggestion?

Thanks a lot!

Hey all,

Tried to searxh on the web but couldn't find an answer, maybe I don't have the correct keywords

My house has an air exchanger with ducts going to every floor and a vent to every room. If I want to add central AC/Heating, could the duct be reused or they need to be replace with HVAC-specific ones (if they don't support the heat for instance or if they aren't big enough?)

From what I understand, when having central AC/heat, the output of the AC/heat unit is feeding the input of the air exchanger?

Outside vent > HVAC input > Air Echanger input > Vent in every room

Thanks

Hello community!

I am looking to install a few ESP32-based "stations" on my land for different purposes (bluetooth tracking, different kind of sensors like temperature/humidity, light barrier, etc) and I was wondering if any of you found any sort of pre-built weatherproof ESP32 stations which could be used as a starting point?

I guess I could also just get a few solar-charger PCB, solar panels, battery holders, weatherproof boxes, etc and build it myself, but I'd pay more to get something that looks a bit less DIY

Thanks in advance!

Hey guys, I was wondering how you seperate your network into VLANs and more specificaly how you seperate management/servers from the rest of the LAN.

Currently I have those VLANs:

• Guest: For all devices that don't need access to my services and that I don't trust. Internet access only, no access to the rest of the network(s)
• IOT: Everything that is part of my home automation and that should not have access to internet. Intra-VLAN access only (Cameras, wifi plugs and switches, etc)
• Services: Used for all my VMs, Containers and services
• LAN/Trusted: Used for devices I trust and that have access to my services
• Management: Used for my proxmox host, my network switches, my APs. Only so

Hey guys

I have a "low power" 4-node proxmox cluster with two main nodes with the following specs:
- HP ML30 Gen9 with 1x Xeon E3-1220 v6
- 32 GB DDR4 each (I use around 10-12GB of RAM for my VMs on each node, the rest is available for the host and the ARC cache)
- 1x 250GB SSD for Proxmox OS
- 4x 1TB HPE HDDs in ZFS "RAID 10" that I'd like to use for VM disks
- 10Gb SFP+ DAC directly connected to the other node for replication
- 10Gb SFP+ DAC connected to my management switch, for the proxmox cluster
- 1GbE connection to the rest of the network

I have setuped a shared ZFS-backed storage using LINSTOR and the proxmox-linstor plugin to allow for HA between the two main

Hello guys,

I have been reading a lot about performance issues on Ceph but the setup are always a bit different than mine so I am not sure what is my problem.

I have 3 nodes (HP G9) with Intel Xeon E3-1220 v6, 32GB DDR4 ECC, 1x 500GB SSD for Proxmox and 2x 1TB Enterprise HDDs for CEPH. They are connected in mesh with 10GB DACs, which I did setup as the cluster network, and have a 2.5GbE public network. I want 3 replicas, with a minimum of 2 so I can function when one node is down.

I added the three nodes as monitors and two as managers. I added all 6 HDDs as OSDs and created a pool with replicas = 3, min-replicas = 2

Everything seems to be working, but I am not having the performance I w
