I've finished stage 1 of my new #homelab install. (hardware/proxmox/storage). I just need to strip exif from the images (for anonymity) and I'll publish details.

Facts (nor I) care about your feelings. AI will steal your work/impersonate you .. hash & sign all the things. Protect your bitcoin like you're 10x as rich. Protect your privacy like you already live in a hostile nation. Practice active non-compliance.
Notes (6)
For all the people who think that AI (in its current form) is going to take over the world, or at least take over human roles .. this is a great discussion

I have a long history in tech (can't say more without DOXing) and it's clear to me that AI has hit a wall with the current implementation method. The current architecture can't create anything new - it uses human created data as a basis for the new mixed output it creates. Don't use it for anything where details, facts or reasoning is required.
We're still going to have to rely on people, new content and new AI architectures to achieve the dream of AGI.
I've finalized the specs for my new homelab server. I've decided to go for a converged infrastructure initially. So we have:-
AMD EPYC 7452 CPU (32 cores, 64 threads)
512GB of ECC RAM
2 x 10/25 gbps fibre cards
1 x GPU (TBC) for plex transcoding
2 x PCIe NVME cards (4 x 4TB Samsung 990 pro drives) for VM storage
15 x 20TB disks in raid z2 (~260 TB or so usable space)
LSI 16 drive HBA card
Most of the above has already arrived, just waiting on 5 of the disks.
The server will be running proxmox 9, with virtual truenas. To keep things stable and to ensure truenas gets access to disks for monitoring etc I'm going to be doing PCI passthrough of the LSI HBA and the 2 x PCI NVME cards. Additionally I'll be passing through one of the 10/25 gbps fibre cards to ensure that my storage has direct network access.
The virtual nas will provide the iSCSI/NFS/SMB storage out to the VM host and the rest of the network.
Once my last batch of HDDs arrives (~24 hours) I'll start the build. Going to document the process on nostr as we have a growing homelab interest based on messages I've received.
Anyway.. more to follow

My homelab gear has arrived in my country 😉 can't wait to get this lot built and installed. Went for a 32 core EPYC with 512GB ram. Going to get the 300TB of HDDs sorted this week and then once my NVME cards arrive i will get the VM pool sorted.
Build will probably be next week, complete with pictures and a writeup of course :)
#homelab
Does anyone on here have good recommendations for anon domain registration and/or server hosting (physical or virtual). Ideally somewhere which takes bitcoin and doesn't ask for KYC, while being non shady.

Vibecoding is to coding .. what custodial is to self-custodial bitcoin wallets.
