I mean, I can run a few of the private AI stacks, but it is excruciatingly slow as to make it not worth the time. I would want something pretty responsive.

Exactly!

If I had the proper equipment, I’d run AI if it were self contained and not pinging out to another LLM.

Well, I don’t have any subscriptions, and most of my equipment I got from an IT guy I’ve known for many years, so I guess my ROI is calculated differently

gotcha

I back up everything.

that makes it a lifestyle not a diet.

It should all be a lifestyle. When I took a look at my fat ass decades ago, I decided to do something about it. People would say, go on a diet. But diets are not enough and usually not effective. What you want is a lifestyle change, because loosing the weight, is the easier part even tho it is hard work. The harder part is keeping it off forever, which is where the lifestyle change comes in. I’m not a vegan or vegetarian, tho I have incorporated some of those concepts into my lifestyle change.

Awesome!

In here it is .30 pro Kwh

Ouch!

Here’s what I’ve been doing: https://lemmy.world/post/42332816/21852448

I’ll check out sablier. Every little bit helps. Even tho it’s selfhosting, there’s no need to consume more than necessary.

What I’ve been doing is running a cron at a certain time in the evening, shutting down the server, and am working on a WOL sequence from my pfsense box fired by a cron, to crank it back up. Since it sits idle for 12 hours out of the 24, I just didn’t see a need to keep it sucking up electricity.

Of course, I’m not running any midnight, mass downloads of Linux iso’s, and I have no other users save myself. If I had users, I’d pass the hat.

Assuming Cloudflare Tunnels/Zero Trust, how does that run in a container. I was vacillating between installing traditionally, or Docker and decided on the former. So I’ve always been curious as to how it performed.

Hot damn

That literally got a snort, because I feel the same way when I find a much easier/cleaner way of doing something.

Awesime! I like ProxMox. Check out the Helper Scripts if you haven’t already. Some people like them, some don’t.

Now that I reflect on the embarrassment, it was a cheap, shared VPS and I’m pretty sure I was dogging the share. LOL Ahhhh…innocence. However, it was evident I needed some personal edification. Now, I am told, I over engineer security, but it works, so keep it the way it is.

Yes, but they should warn before shutting down,

IDK, if I were running the show, I’d probably have done the same thing especially when it started to involve other servers. I would assume that there would be some legal ramifications should it have just been ignored. It would have been good to observe to see if I could come up with who the puppeteer was, but I was super green then and probably wouldn’t have known where to start as far as forensics. I mean, if you get hacked, the knee jerk reaction is to pull the plug, but it would be more productive to do some forensics before killing the server.

Well, if you want to stir the pot, there are heavy discussions on both sides of the fence. Personally, I don’t get all pedantic about it. To quote Ice Cube; ‘Do your thing man, fuck what they looking at’.

As far as your post being deleted, it seems to be arbitrary at times and rather silent when courteous inquiries are made.

but I did just add a new sablier middleware to stop when iddle and start when first requested.

Would you mind expounding on this? Electricity is fairly affordable in my locale, however I’ve been on a mission to cut out consumption when it’s not needed. Have you noticed an ROI?

(I’m assuming US mainly because other countries are not generally so hostile towards employees)

It’s not a matter of hostility to employees, but it does have to do with liability and some people don’t know where the boundaries are. It’s usually a small minority screwing it up for everybody else.

Only do work on work devices.

Flashback to when I worked as a Mech Eng, I also ‘ran’ (term used loosely) the IT dept as well. Small fledgling company and I had the most experience. We would issue our service techs a laptop and a camera (back before phone cameras were popular) to use in the field to document. I’ve had to have a few conversations with individuals about non-work content on work computers. Some conversations were awkward as it dealt with porn. I’m not a prude, but I care none about your sexual proclivities. I had mentioned this to one of the principals who had told me to just issue the laptops without any lock features, but he later rescinded that and allowed me to lock down everything.

But yeah, non-work on work devices is a foul.
