The road isnt really paved, everyone took their own path. You have to commit to your arm64 hw platform.

There are quite a few arm64 laptops, hybrid tablets, even towers. But I can’t predictably decide which one I want because hardware specs and drivers for arm64 are almost all different, which is the same problem with riscV getting more adoption.

However, the work of giving owners more options for Linux on arm64 is good, just like the surface Linux kernel for ms surface products.

Agreed, you absolutely can find similar complaints about search engines, and there were similar fools back then who relied wholesale on search results and nothing further.

I’m looking for people who can problem-solve, not just click-click-next use tools. When search engines made life easier, the folks who didn’t try anything past searching google just didn’t advance in tech fields if they couldn’t get it done. The people I’m talking about now are walking into jobs that require thinking while literally proclaiming that they let something else do the thinking for them.

What am I supposed to do with a tech who can’t get past an ansible deployment because he couldn’t figure out how to find and use the ansible wiki? As I plainly said, it’s not the technology, it’s the culture.

Your “boomer” take on this isn’t valid because I’m also getting the AI-bro talk from idiots my age as well.

Last, I’d like to point out that you don’t know what gatekeeping means. Maybe chatgpt can help you.

I’m in my 50s, I’ve been in IT professionally for 30 years, using Linux for 25 of those.

I hate AI.

I don’t hate the technology, but I hate the culture of “ez learning” and the marketing. Literally people who have no clue about technology openly saying “wanna bet?” when I say it doesn’t always have the right answers.

Sure, 19 of 20 chatgpt answers are great, but that 20th answer is dangerously wrong. Like, wreck your infrastructure wrong.

I also hate what it’s doing to young minds the most, though: the 20 something techs I hire will lean on AI so hard, they have no sense of what to do if the answer isn’t forthcoming, just ¯\(ツ)/¯.

AI is killing problem-solving.

Edit: I’m distinguishing AI from ML here, which I do use as a pattern recognition tool.

You wouldn’t be any more vulnerable to ddos attacks than without WG.

It’s way worse than security being an “afterthought”, most of these projects have no afterthought at all. No human review, poor if any testing, rife with race conditions, bad or no error handling, bad or no human readability standards, etc.

But that isn’t even the problem. The deeper and more concerning issue is that these vibe coders iterate very quickly and drown out by volume any meaningful human review. Just like ai-driven content and web scraping, ai vibe coding is making human-generated code less viable because it iterates more slowly.

Its just port 80. And letsencrypt provides a CIDR block so us paranoids who still restrict with firewalls can limit the exposure.

IDS, L4 firewall and video streaming from the same machine? It can be done.

Should you do it? That’s a lesson I’m gonna leave to you to learn yourself. For personal growth.

If you’re talking about streaming steam games at 4k, then maybe. But at that point build a dedicated machine.

Sunshine works fine with n100 quicksync for 1080p streaming, plus frigate. I’m running both of these on an 11th gen i5 with a coral tpu for frigate.

Not sure what your “punishment” is for hardware, but your current list really isn’t that demanding.

Lots of ppl deploy sunshine on n100 mini PCs with quicksync, you dont really need a gpu that way.

Sr-iov is electrically expensive to implement. You can have it, you’ll just pay more.

I’m a lifelong Linux user (or since 1999, so half my life), but I was a mixed mac and windows user before that. Anyway, I understand the reluctance you’re facing.

You don’t need to endanger any part of your current experience to start self hosting, you can just start adding to it. The stakes can be very low if you want to learn that way.

Debian with xfce. Because I’m old. I don’t want to change, damnit!

I guess. I don’t know why a person would do this, though… Especially just for an LLM.

I don’t need to build a datacenter, i’m fine with building a rack myself in my garage.

During the last GPU mining craze, I helped build a 3-rack mining operation. Gpus are unregulated pieces of power-sucking shit from a power management perspective. You do not have the power requirements to do this on residential power, even at 300amp service.

Think of a microwave’s behaviour ; yes, a 1000w microwave pulls between 700 and 900w while cooking, but the startup load is massive, almost 1800w sometimes, depending on how cheap the thing is.

GPUs also behave like this, but not at startup. They spin up load predictively, which means the hardware demands more power to get the job done, it doesn’t scale down the job to save power. Multiply by 58 rx9070. Now add cooling.

You cannot do this.

Yes

Port scanning is not authorized traffic.

Lol what

I think you should read the terms of your AWS contract. How do you think aws moves instances if not for agents gathering metrics?

And this case is Mandiant, so you’re fine.

Are you sure you’re ready for AWS?

Umm…

You know how that works, right? Like, if you don’t want to expose ports, just… don’t expose them. But you can’t prevent port scanning.

I would love to see the support request from AWS for this.

Edit: also, I think “script kiddy” is a bit of a stretch here.
