  They’re not energy efficient when they’re working, but usually servers are idle 95% of the time.

  You’ll spend more money buying new hardware than the power you save.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you isolate a printer in your homelab?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  I use a VLAN that blocks it from my WAN interference.

  All internal VLAN except my Internet only VLAN can print to it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's self hosting Sunday! What's up?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I finally ran a hardware accelerated ML container for immich.

  My immich is in a VPS and my GPU is in my home server. Cheaper to run that than to rent GPU compute.

  I disclose that I can see your activity, bit realistically it’s so I can see how the encoding process is half a world away. They don’t seem to complain about the quality so seems good to go for me.

  Also I wish they sent me notes of which shows has offset subtitles. Can’t watch them all myself

  I’ve had 29 total exos, and only the 16tbs shit on me.

  2 of 29 or 7% isn’t great, but at the time they were also 20-30% cheaper.

  Thankfully already had a robust backup in place.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Instead of carrying multiple camera lenses, this one lets you swap optics⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago⁩:

  Seems like a proprietary lens mount.

  No way to weather seal. No dust ingress protection.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago⁩:

  Woah, which countries?

  I’ve traveled quite a lot and no one has even bothered me about my size.

  You can call me a shill,

  But I just get an Anker Prime 27,650mAh battery bank because it supports 140w PD.

  Lasts my wife and myself a 4 hours flight with maybe 30% left over.

  I got it because it can charge my laptop as well.

  Steam deck is 40Whr and the battery is nearly 100Whr.

  So you’ll get 2.5 times longer playing time with it.
