Idk, $100 or so for 8th gen Intel isn’t too bad, but this is in the us

A used laptop with a messed up screen will work as well.

Ohhhhh… Let me see if this Dell I’m using can run ddr4, I would like to have 16GB of ram

It is but ddr5 is not cheap

I recently picked up a used i3 14th gen to add to my server rack. Its great except ddr5 💸

This is the way.

I find 8th gen i5 and i7 laptops under 200 all over eBay. Hard to beat.

Will do. I think Asus stopped sending fw updates so I’m hoping to get a few more years out of this unit.

I’m running an older Asus router they is listed on the OpenWrt site. Would it be the most affordable option to just install open wrt on this device and manually bring over my current configs?

I run llms using a 780m you’ll be fine. I get pretty close to 10 tokens a second for larger 20B+ models.

I also want to look into the exit node stuff.

Evening is going ok, but noticed the screen saver on jellyfin isn’t showing up lately… need to investigate…

Also, watched the latest “Explaining Computers” episode today.

The steps look good. It’s running Alpine. I wonder how long this takes start to helloworld.

tailscale worked some times, but seemed to depend on the location of the moon relative to the air speed of a nearby sparrow and it was really slow.

time for me to find an alternative

Is there harm if you continue to use your existing nas just for storage?

Im on flauncher, works for my needs

I got them on Amazon, the only place I could find them as well. However, I didn’t search as hard as you I think.

I picked Toshiba drives personally. However, I know of a bunch of WD reds running for years with no issues.

I think since the nas cases aren’t insolated for sound, your going to hear them moving that head around…

Have you considered an ssd populated nas? It does cost more however :(

Yes, I have run wires to a few rooms, but not everywhere and it can be difficult to convince myself to continue down this path. However, it is the more affordable option.
