With no server-side transcoding, yeah the nuc is plenty, but I also run my media server (JF containers, to be specific) on Debian.

If you do end up needing transcoding, the newer Intel stuff is great. I’m considering arc actually for other reasons, but ideally anything skylake (for HEVC) or Kaby Lake (hevc 10 bit) on up is a rock solid choice, no external GPU needed.

That’s what I do, nieces and nephews. They are a bit older than my kids, and their parents are not tech savvy.

I basically have a kids library for anything under PG, and I grab common sense media ratings for a decent estimate on appropriate age, and let them go from there. Then I use tags for what we find appropriate for our kids.

Some of them still use other things I wouldn’t go near (YouTube kids, ffs that place is wild and weird), but that’s their decision not mine.

FWIW I run mine off an 8th gen Intel, igpu for transcoding (though mostly I don’t need to transcoded), on a little lenovo tiny workstation I picked up on the cheap. Storage is on my NAS.

Yup.

I’ve got two kids, the amount of time they get consuming content is limited, the content they have access to is only from my media server (so very curated), and occasional extras like crafting/drawing/etc when we are sitting next to them. And even that I’m moving to the media server due to the ads, which are impossible to really curate and can be very, very odd…

The physical presence of a screen being on is not an issue. Using it as a replacement for parenting is an issue. Especially under 2.

I just wish it wasn’t so much effort to manage content that other parents could do it more easily.

Ah, not an issue I’ve had to deal with so unfortunately no help there. Most of the time I’m accessing over ssh anyway (with occasional -X, none of those systems are using Wayland yet).

krfb?

I see it. I’d report it to the dev, would be good for them to know why it isn’t working for you.

That’s what I’m using as well, Voyager on Android.

OK, so what you probably won’t get much out of would be load balancing knowledge, from your description the CPU far outpaces everything else you have running services today. To get a good handle on that sort of thing, its handy to have comparable hardware for each node.

But the CPU is more than enough for most general task services, so yeah that will do fine. In terms of the GPU, yes, that will work for AI tasks as far as I know, most of the hardware I’m using for that is work stuff I get my hands on, so I couldn’t tell you much about the performance of the 3070 specifically, and I doubt a 6000 Ada as a reference w9uld be helpful, so maybe others can chime in on that aspect.

Since its mostly for learning, yeah, go for it. If you want to run i5 24x7, I’d probably want to separate out some of that CPU from that PSU purely for power management/cost to run, but yes its more than adequate for most services you’d throw on there.

Most of the servers I’m running are using a CPU that came out about 5 years before that Ryzen, but they are also lower wattage systems. Since they dont need a ton of CPU at all times, this is more the ideal for continually running home services, but not the only way to do it.

So build away and enjoy

Because this is where the money is universally going, and no, its not “readily available” for most.

I can do it.

ALS patients and their families, in terms of what’s covered, are getting mostly the same as what was available 5-10 years ago. This isn’t about focusing on the negative, this is just where things are right now. Services to recreate a voice for tts to folks with ALS or similar issues are insanely expensive, to the point of being exploitative.

So I say it because its the truth.

Work for… What exactly?

Server requirements vary, depending on what they are doing.

ETA: I run about a dozen servers at home. Of them, none are more than what you have there. And I run a lot of services on each. Its what they are doing that matters.

It could also be a bunch of people like me who just dont care, and would totally sell their future empty skull for cash for the family.

I actually want to be cremated and have my remains made into some gems, and I wanted my skull to be kept and the gems mounted into the eyes. My wife vetoed that idea, I thought it would be hilarious. She didn’t like the “fine, I’ll just get a generic crystal skull or something then” response.

Anyway, once the brain bucket has no more brain to be a bucket for, I personally would be fine with it getting sold off. Couldn’t tell you if its what it is or not, but I can definitely see there being plenty of people willing to sell it, without it being some sort of victim of something. I also think its much more likely to not be a victim of something.

Tap on the picture, you’ll see it on the bottom. Tap on that text area and the rest will show.

Formatting seems all goofed up, but it works.

My opinion on the meme aside.

What’s awful about this is, this technology would be amazing for some people.

My father had ALS, the first thing to go was his voice. As a result, the tools at the time to give him his own voice back (using text-to-speech apps) couldn’t make due with what we had, we would have needed to have the recordings of the specific sounds already in specific phrases.

Since then, there have been improvements in leaps and bounds. I could remake his voice today with what I have of him on video. I wish I could have done this for him when he was alive. My daughter could have heard him speak in his own voice, instead of a meh sounding tts voice or a family member reading what he said to her.

But instead of looking to doing amazing things like that for people, we get companies pulling this bullshit.

Oh I’m not complaining. Its quick and simple to navigate. I don’t need flash, I need function.

I wouldn’t mind updates with that aspect kept in mind, but I’m not going to complain about it either. I think more websites could use debian.org as an example.

A core developer quit and forked it to make freenginx, based on a claim of corporate interference in security practices.

This was about 6 months ago and probably what you are thinking of. Its still open source, there doesn’t seem to be anything that’s come of the issue that was the cause of the split, and nginx is still actively developed.

it feels like when Debian had a website in 2015 that looked like 1997

As a Debian user… Its the same in 2024.

Got that one! Great book.

Along with “I need a new butt” / “I broke my butt”

Awesome! Checking it out now, thanks!

Pffft, substance from an article these days? One can hope :)

NP!

All the people talking about it ref3rred to it as a “scandal”. Some were describing how the repiblicans treated it like a giant scandal, and others refering to it sarcastically for the nonsense it actually was.

Based on the choices of responses to include, its to add on to a more popular trending word.
