Are you using it with an HDMI + USB switch or similar?

[–] kiol@discuss.online 1 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Seems Mellanox ConnectX-3 Pro Dual Port 10G SFP+ Low Profile MCX312C-XCCT is decent choice, which I can use for 10gb triangle between the current 3 nodes. I was thinking of using jetkvm + rs-232 expansion serial cable with 4-port hdmi/usb switcher for controlling the nodes. Financially, a future expansion would be moving from the triangle to a 10gb switch, allowing for NAS or other node additions. Also, each node has an empty Sata SSD port currently. Updated the forum thread.

No vpro on the hp t740, because it is AMD. I'll check on managed outlets and look into fan assembly.

Cool, have you tried using it with multiple devices on an hdmi switch?

[–] kiol@discuss.online 1 points 1 day ago (6 children)

I thought I listed it in the description, but this is something I'm actively wondering about. A KVM over IP, such as PiKVM, Jetkvm, openkvm that allows access to all 3 nodes and saves future drives to the data center by using a wireguard connection instead. PiKVM + HDMI and USB switch is an option. Recommended option from PiKVM docs is https://www.easycoolav.com/products/ezcoo-hdmi-20-switch-4x1-with-usb-30-kvm-4-port-hdmi-switch-for-4k60hz-hdr-and-audio-breakout

Full layout on my forum here. Basic idea is 3 thin clients that fit within:

  • 1u space requirement
  • Possibly adding 2.5gb nic to the pci-e low profile slots of each hp t740 for Ceph shared storage.
  • Kubernetes and/or Proxmox experiments
    • Adding some sort of remote management via jetkvm or pikvm or similar.
    • Additional expansion no doubt needed for connecting to the three nodes.

All suggestions greatly appreciated! Never done this before, but hoping to save myself from the future hassle of having to drive to the data center... would much rather log in on Wireguard and address things by remotely rebooting, etc.

It is currently unreleased; sent a ping to check in on it. https://discuss.livingcartoon.org/d/96-pixel-artwork-tools

Nice flow example!

[–] kiol@discuss.online 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Makes sense. I've been doing this with a couple small boxes with same basic specs at home. Start with the least important, after making a snapshot, and go from there.

[–] kiol@discuss.online 1 points 2 weeks ago

I'm working my way towards maintaining more mission critical, so just want to do my best as I take my deployment more seriously. Test systems are working fine for me, but happy to get advice and suggestions from others with more experience.

For me, I'll be waiting for at least a point release in Ubuntu before I ever consider migrating any machines. Then I'll check against the forums and any security announcements.

Ah ha, suppose that is from being re-shared in Lemmy. Original post is direct link. Thanks for the feedback.

Genuinely curious, what makes a project into AI slop for you. Was thinking about this based on a recent discussion of recommended self-hosting tools, which brought up ntfy.

  • Massively popular project. Repo releases since 10/2021 and 29k stars on github.

Context: ntfy

  • Sponsors include Warp, an AI-based development environment. That sponsor is mentioned twice in the readme. Saw a mention in a chat room of the project being described as having become AI slop, but don't see any such concerns in their project repo within any issues or merged pull requests. And, the code is dual licensed under Apache 2.0 and gpl-2.0

What do you think? Is the sponsorship as problematic as actual code? Or, is there something else I'm missing. Curious on how you would compare ntfy with other sorts of AI concerns.

I find everyone using different services, so unsure how to best manage (and balance) concurrent access in Ubuntu/Debian to:

  • Local network services
  • Tailscale services from userA
  • Tailscale services from userB
  • Wireguard (OpenVPN also option) from userC
  • Twingate from userD

Each user is wanting to share different services via VPN, and pressuring any to change their production setups to a different style of VPN is not going to happen.

  • Management via software
  • Possibly up a routing device along the lines of OpenWrt or OpnSense.
    • Could even distribute such devices between these friends.

Thanks for all thoughts!
