There’s a few options now, but you can get Intel N100 ITX boards Like this one from ASUS with a soldered on N100 CPU for the cost of a normal motherboard.

If its just a NAS, and I do recommend having a separate Just a NAS, that CPU fucks hard.

I respect that Steve was able to control himself and only make a 25 minute video on this.

Oh wow, I got all the important parts didn’t I?

Crazy…

TL:DW;

Mr. Nexus still thinks its news that, under capitalism, production of luxury goods will always be sold to the highest bidder and not “the masses”

I didn’t watch it either. But its about Micron no longer selling consumer ram in favor of the AI industry customer.

I actually just want them to make proton drive work on Linux. That’s all I need.

Well seeing as its invite only still. Probably not yet.

I doubt anything that tightly under the creators control is going to be “soiled” yet

Another one I didn’t know is gay.

Props to msm for not making it a big deal

Odd way to learn altman is gay.

Kinda shocked I’ve never seen a “worlds richest gay man!” Headline. That feels like low hanging fru-

I actually don’t even care about AI Ethics here.

Fuck Academic Dishonesty!

I usually follow the craft computing video whenever I have to set it up. He has a document in the description with all the things you might need to passthrough a GPU but only like half are needed to passthrough an HBA

Proxmox wiki has a more concise guide IMO

https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/PCI_Passthrough

It was really simple to do in Proxmox.

You will find no name brand HBAs in IT mode on eBay for half the price of Intel, Supermicro, Dell, Etc branded ones. Do not buy the no names. I spent a week flashing and reflashing some cheap one, cycling through cables, etc. Nothing.

My supermicro branded one worked absolutely no issue. And I think it was like $40

It probably took a total of 30 minutes to pass it through and build the VM and everything. It took a couple days to rebuild my data from my previous truenas server but I had 10 TB of data on 4 drives.

The only issues I’ve had have been my own reading comprehension in setting up truenas accounts.

Are you using truenas as the entire homelab?

I also love messing with stuff until it breaks and I learn something, but I’ve decided I just want my files to be accessible.

So I actually have truenas virtualized with a passed through HBA so I can run proxmox to host all my breakable VMs while leaving truenas alone.

Great read and good points by you.

That’s a fair read and I had kinda come to that thought process. He’s a friend of Trumps and I guess Musk as well. So he’s okay with fascists.

But I do want to point out that in the linked article, he talks about a guy, Franchi, who received support from Communists and presumably the UK while resisting Mussolini but was a monarchist who fell into right wing activities after the war and was charged for plotting a pro monarchy court d’etat.

Much like how I don’t condemn small African anti colonial governments for taking Russian assistance. I don’t immediately view a struggling Small Pro Capitalist state taking USA assistance as inherently condemn able.

I don’t know Milei’s full views, but I struggle to have “guy who’s rounding up all the racial undesirables and occupying cities with troops” on the same level as “guy who thinks letting companies pay in milk is good”. Both are dangerous and bad ideas, but one is much MUCH worse in my opinion.

If I’m missing something, I’m genuinely down to learn more. These are just my concerns with my limited understanding.

Genuine question for an OOTL guy

Is Milei actually a fascist and why?

I just genuinely haven’t kept up with him I knew he was a pretty serious libertarian cut all the government subsidy type, but I didn’t think he was a fascist.

Fair enough.

Opening ports to the network seems to “just work” or be hours of forum diving.

What OS where you using?

Dumber, ice quota

I learned something interesting from my AI researcher friend.

ChatGPT is actually pretty good at giving mundane medical advice.

Like “I’m pretty sure I have the flu, what should I do?” Kinda advice

His group was generating a bunch of these sorta low stakes urgent care/free clinic type questions and in nearly every scenario, ChatGPT 4 gave good advice that surveyed medical professionals agreed they would have given.

There were some issues though.

For instance it responded to

“Help my toddler has the flu. How do I keep it from spreading to the rest of my family?”

And it said

“You should completely isolate the child. Absolutely no contact with him.”

Which you obviously can’t do, but it is technically a correct answer.

Better still, it was also good at knowing its limits and anything that needed more than OTC and bedrest was seemingly recognized and it would suggest going to an urgent care or ER

So they switched to Claude and Deepseek because they wanted to research how to mitigate failures and GPT wasn’t failing often enough.

A few months ago now, Arizona? Arkansas maybe? Some state legalized “AI powered” home schooling systems. But it was mostly clickbait and the system is less like ChatGPT and more like the YouTube Algorithm machine learning. It takes into account the stuff that students do well at and let’s them advance beyond “grade level” limitations while also learning how to present problem areas in ways the student responds to.

I had asked my home schooled AI researcher buddy his thoughts and he obviously liked it. I like the idea too, but my hang up was on socializing kids. That to me is the more important role of schools.

I wouldn’t trust an LLM in this set up though. A human tutor would still need to step in for questions outside of a FAQ IMO. I love working with an LLM by giving it all the manuals, guides, and config files I used then asking where I went wrong because it can usually give me a good enough interpretation to see where to go next. But that’s just a rubber duck. My mind and skills are developed. A kid learning math for Tue first time can’t do that.

As a floatplane subscriber, you’re really not missing much. I don’t even watch most of the exclusives.
