Honestly, you might want to look into proper server hardware. There are many out there that support dozens of drives, assuming you’re willing to go with a blade. Even if you explicitly want a tower, server hardware is where you’re going to get the best support.
You’ll most likely also want to increase the size of your drives. Assuming you’re being smart and utilizing RAID, you’re going to be losing a bunch of that storage.
The only alternative is to willingly leave over a hundred communities, some of which I have strong ties to, and never interact with the majority again.
That’s a big ask.
I’m fairly certain that war can’t stop elections in the US, from a constitutional standpoint.
I’ve been using Backblaze buckets to hold data I serve to friends with GameVault, and a few other things. Sitting at just shy of 1TB if memory serves? I’m paying about 4 bucks a month.
If you serve it through cloudflare, you aren’t charged for bandwidth. Which works out nicely because I use a cloudflare worker to redirect all download requests in GameVault. Super speedy downloads for my users, zero bandwidth coming off my home network.
My only resistance to leaving discord is that it’s where 99% of my gaming communities are. There’s no way I’m convincing hundreds of people to move off to something I self host, or to self host themselves. It’s just not feasible.
It really comes down to what kind of speed you want. You can run some LLMs on older hardware “just fine” and many models without a dedicated GPU. The problem is that the time taken to generate responses gets to be crazy.
I ran DeepSeek on an old R410 for shits and giggles a while back, and it worked. It just took multiple minutes to actually give me a complete response.
I… I don’t know how you’d even stream that? A log of pages loaded?
Y’know, I read that headline as a Canadian and the first thing that came to mind was why your primary language would affect the levels of cadmium in your food.
Auto updating can be a problem. Take a look at the CrowdStrike fiasco a couple years back.
I’d say they offer prosumer options for sure, but they also have what I would consider enterprise offerings as well. Even a large campus can easily be run off their enterprise gear.
In programming a semaphore is a way to handle access to a method in a multithreaded environment.
I’m confused on how a semaphore would help, or is this a joke that I am misinterpreting?
I hate to tell you but a VPS is just a VM in the cloud. Unless you’re paying for bare metal, at which point you are paying an arm and a leg.
It’s a bit of a bitch, and they can kill it at the drop of a hat.
Iirc Cloudflare sells domain names at cost.
I mean, in certain circumstances sure. But all it would take is a whisper of proof that they abused this position to destroy their business model.
To be fair, any kind of automated system can just break. So many factors come into play. Azure build pipelines for instance just sometimes decide they can’t communicate with their own servers, causing a build failure.
That’s some deep seated racism innit.
Came here to say this. They even have decently priced “lifetime” accounts. Though that price raises by a reasonable amount every year or so.
Just read through some of the BookLore stuff and that was a wild ride.
