what is my purpose?

"You're a VPN and you filter ads via DNS."

fucking sweet, man. Glad I'm not an emulation console.

[–] rtxn@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago

(to my NAT gateway) "You pass the packets."

[–] momoitin@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago

Are you me?

[–] kbotc@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

sigh I loved it when my Unifi would let me run everything in my gateway. I get why they moved away from the podman solution, but it was so convenient.

I setup a k8s rpi cluster for this reason, and now I just have 4 overloaded pis 🙃

[–] candyman337@sh.itjust.works 27 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Could you not just actually build a dedicated PC for that price? Lol

[–] Eezyville@sh.itjust.works 54 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

But then he won't have a k8s rpi cluster

[–] svey@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago

This is the real reason

[–] candyman337@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

I mean you could have a smaller cluster

[–] Norgur@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

and the power consumption adds up, too.

[–] eltimablo@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

Pis are only 5W, right? 4 of them should still add up to about as much as a midweight laptop.

[–] candyman337@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

This is true. Really annoyed that arm as a hole isn't being utilized like it could be by really anyone but apple. We could be making arm Linux powerhouses that sip power like a mid tier x86 laptop. The worry by some is that there is now way to do this without having every component solderd on, but dell has already made a new open laptop ram slot standard that has almost the same latency as Apple's soldered ram.

Arm is the future, and needs to be treated as such more than it is.

RPI: Actually dying

Me: Gitlab time

[–] jelloeater85@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Sweet baby Jesus. Reminds me of folks running Lemmy on them and wondering why their SD card is always failing 😅

[–] thomasdouwes@sopuli.xyz 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I was running lemmy on it too until a few days ago. I had an SSD for the database though.
oh and the gitlab instance was the straw that broke the camel's back for the Pi, I ended up going with forgejo instead.

[–] Phrey@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

How is Forgejo these days?

[–] thomasdouwes@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I like it better than gitlab, gitlab is too cluttered and has loads of features I don't need. forgejo will be a lot better when they get federation going though

[–] kbotc@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Slap a USB NVMe IN there and be done with it.

[–] PuppyOSAndCoffee@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago

lol. Sir, I only have 4 cores and 8GB

YOU DONT KNOW ME SON

[–] nik282000@lemmy.ml 17 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Shit, I just realized my NAS is less powerful than a modern Pi. It's only a dual core, 1.6GHz Atom with 1.8GB ram.

[–] newIdentity@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

That's not even nearly as powerful as a pi 4. At least on paper

[–] WanderingCat@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

what architecture is the CPU?

[–] nik282000@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

X86_64 It's an Acer H340, it originally ran windows home server starting in 2009 but I switched to Debian in 2016. It has run the entire 14 years less about a week of power outages.

[–] Zeram@lemmy.ml 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I so feel this meme… and just putting it out there that there’s a good chance that pretty soon NUCs are likely to be deeply on sale.

[–] w2tpmf@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Why do you say that about the NUCs?

[–] Zeram@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Because they were just recently discontinued by Intel and generally speaking discontinued equipment tends to go on sale.

[–] Johanno@feddit.de 13 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

This is why I bought myself a server (consumer pc with 40TB) that does all that for only 1000€

[–] RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz 10 points 1 year ago

I used an old laptop I had with a broken screen. Werks

[–] gdaofb27584@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

I used to have my own server for 4 years. It was my personal compute with virtual machine and 10TB. Then I checked my electricity bill, it was so expensive I rebase everything on a single RockPro64 with a raid 1. Hardware budget is not that expensive, but you should definitly calculate how much electricty will weighs on your house budget

[–] JurassicPork@lemmy.one 11 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I see myself in this picture, and I don't like it 😂😂😂 that's why I'm running 2 pi's 😁 photoprism, pihole, pivpn, unbound, portainer, and multiple HDD setup with cron jobs as a nas, and another pi with heimdal, pihole, pivpn. Unify controller, NUT server...... Prob forgetting some lpl, Looking to add a lot more docker containers..... So ya..... This meme got me in the feels lol

Can anyone tell me of I can run a Plex server and a pi hole on the new raspberry 8gig ?

[–] jetsetdorito@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

yes, but I would recommend transcoding everything for direct play before putting it on the server

[–] newIdentity@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago

Or just disable transcoding and play in full quality

[–] NewbLemmy97@monyet.cc 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Im running jellyfin and pihole on a 4gb and have not encountered any issues. 8gb should be more than enough

[–] Swim@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

Ok ty for the info.

Am I the only person that thinks this meme doesn't make sense? Hulk's giving Antman tacos because Antman lost his tacos and would very much appreciate the generous offer.

[–] akariii@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 year ago

yeah, its ironic

[–] jubilationtcornpone@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I've got an old PowerEdge tower server sitting in my basement that I picked up for $300 on eBay. Dual 6-core Xeons. It's running probably 7 Ubuntu VM's in Hyper-V and not even breaking a sweat. Still need to get the GPU passthrough for Jellyfin configured though.

[–] kbotc@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Eating $70 in power a month.

[–] jubilationtcornpone@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

It might if it were really working hard but at idle it draws around 160 watts.

Edit: I was close. 140 watts.

All you need is Lemmy.

Lemmy is Love.

Lemmy is Life.

I dumped all my pis late last year and bought a $30 thin client with better specs and more io.

[–] weedazz@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Tiny mini micro!
