LSshoe

I have bought next to 0 hardware dedicated to any of my self hosted stuff. It's just refurb/repurposed mostly old tech.

My main LLM server is my former gaming desktop. It has an nvidia RTX 2060 which can run some of the smaller models pretty well. It already runs Linux so I just have ollama in docker with gpu passthrough. There are a few other containers I will also spin up at times. It also serves as a bit of a terminal server. I will put it to sleep when I'm not using it so it's not always on.

I also have an ubuntu LXC running as a guest on a Proxmox server that is an old HP mini prodesk. That one is mostly just used as a fallback when my desktop isn't on since it always is. It's much slower but it's fine for stuff I'm not waiting on a prompt response from.

I have another old desktop that is my "primary" server running Proxmox. It has an Ubuntu server VM that's my docker host. I have openwebui, n8n among other containers.

In all I don't do a huge amount of LLM things, but it's fun to mess around with. You can learn a lot even without big powerful hardware.

I think that there should be two or three "free" pickoff moves, and then after that a ball is awarded to the batter for each subsequent failed pickoff attempt. That allows for pitchers to still try to nail someone leaning too hard, but would stop throwing over 10x between pitches.

As for the minimum batters faced, on one hand I think it's a good way to speed up or at least not slow down the game. On the otherhand in college sometimes a pitcher straight up doesn't have it or anywhere near close to it and with this rule that means you might see a pitcher come in wild and load the bases and there's noting you can really do. Also, while it kind of sucks as a fan, in garbage time innings of nonconference play you might see a coach get a lot of back end or young arms a chance to get an appearance for experience's sake and that becomes harder with the 3 batter rule. 2 batters might make more sense.

I'm not in any way an expert on any of this, but my understanding has kind of been that the further into the draft you get, the higher chance "your guys" make it to campus for lots of complicated reasons, although nothing is really for sure until well past today and on to after whenever last day to sign is. Some drop out because the couple teams they had agreements with for numbers they liked didn't come to fruition. There's still the chance that teams will throw a pick at them anyway and the intricacies of it are beyond me but maybe they're just grabbing "rights" to a player in case they change their mind or maybe that's the pick they're using to not sign so they can save up money for someone else. And other times you think you're out of the woods on a player but then complex circumstances occur and he gets sniped. Also sometimes the inverse happens and a player you assume is gone pecan ends up not signing and comes to campus.

Basically it's a madhouse and effectively just a roulette wheel

To reiterate, all this is way beyond me and I don't keep up with any of it outside of looking at LSU players and prospects when this time comes around every year. So take what I say with a pinch of salt and a dash of tabasco.

I love me some proxmox. All my "servers" are old arse pcs (like legit all close to 10yo), but I have them in a cluster so I can shift things around to maximize resources. Proxmox makes it easy to spin up and manage LXCs plus a handful of actual VMs (one of which is just for running docker).

And for the Debian disciple, Proxmox is Debian based. You can literally take a Deb build, tack on some repos and packages and you have Proxmox. Debian is legit, don't get me wrong and having a single baremetal server running Deb can make sense over Proxmox but imo I would think Proxmox is the better route for most folks looking to self host stuff.

Also, ZFS was mentioned as a negative, which seems crazy to me. ZFS is robust and flexible, and I'd agree that it's overkill for most folks, but you absolutely don't have to use it if you don't want or need to. But it's there if you do.

Yeah I think if you post the numbers and then follow that up with your observations on the data that can help spark discussions. Personally I find these threads enjoyable enough, mostly because there's not a ton of new topics to discuss. They tend to fizzle out quickly and yes the discussions tend to be at least as much about the thread itself rather than the topic of the thread.

In the interest of countering that and discussing the original topic, 200+ strikeouts in one season is a lot. Mr Skenes is good at baseball. Mr Anderson is pretty good too

For those that haven't played Cyberpunk, getting that game for $17 could not be more of a steal

How does it play on the steam deck?

They're allegedly selling it at cost. Hardware is just stupid expensive currently. People saying that if it was like 7-800 it would make sense, bit that's also allegedly around the original price they were targeting before ram and gpu prices went through the roof.

I like Valve as a company, they aren't perfect by any means, but they're about as consumer friendly as they can be and that's a rarity in this day and age. They also try. They push the envelope and try to put things out there that improve the situation for their customer base. I would love for this thing to succeed, though I don't know that I was ever really the target audience. I have a steam deck though and that thing is amazing.

Throwing out any sentimental crap and getting down to brass tax, this thing is at ita core a midrange pc. What I think it's real strenghts are is that it's tiny, it's quiet, and it at least has the potential to be a seamless drop in for couch gaming. The entire UI being controller-able is a big part of that, but also that they got CEC working properly on it. Meaning you could theoretically throw your TV remote away and use your steam controller to wake the pc and by extension the TV, and then put them both to sleep with the steam controller. That's not something at all straightforward with more or less any other pc.

And the other thing it has going for it, is that it is a pc. You can pull up a desktop and do legitimate work on it. If you like KBM play over controller you can do that. Any Bluetooth headset you want? That works. Those extra Xbox/playstation controllers you have? Probably works too. BC valve isn't trying to lock you out of this thing, they're trying to enable you. You can install windows on it if you care to (you probably shouldn't though).

I don't think it's at all pointless. At its current price point it's definitely niche though. That's not really Valve's fault though. You could say they could have subsidized it with theoretical game sales (which is the main reason you can get PlayStation and Xbox consoles at the price points they sell for), but since they by no means lock you into only buying games from steam, there's not necessarily a guarantee they'd recoup the loss from selling it.

They show about 4 seconds of it during the recorded Dan Borne "It's Saturday Night In Death Valley" speech. Which I guess only happens on games that start or finish at night. So maybe not every game, but most.

He was not on the 23 squad. 2 nattys would be impressive regardless.

Never heard of it but it sounds tasty.

Here's a random recipe i found just for some kind of base of recipe:

It's good BR food. Good poboys and you can do a half and half with gumbo which is a great lunch option. The specials that I've tried have been solid.

It's not gonna knock your socks off but you likely won't go away disappointed.
