Isn’t this only for people running NGINX?

What is your hardware?

Do you think a 24GB card like the 7900 XTX could run Mistral Small? TBH that card is nowhere to be found right now

I’m trying to create a router + switch combo. I know bonding over CPU is considered a bad idea but I don’t want to run a proprietary OS on my switch to get VLANs. I’d rather run an OpenBSD VM and do everything in it.

This might delve into some networking, but if you can bear with me:

Whilst I like the idea of VLANs, I don’t like running proprietary firmware on my devices. Which means a regular L2+/L3 switch is not going to cut it. But I’m starting to wonder if I can just use Veths and subnetting to segregate traffic between different machines on my network?

Using your example, can I do:

PC (router) -> 10Gbe port (3 Veths) -> switch -> three different machines on different subnets?

Can I prevent the three machines from talking to each other directly through the switch if I put them in different subnets? Sorry for my lousy networking knowledge, it’s been a while.

is there a thriving selfhost/homelab type place that is active?

I mean, you’re right here.

Is there any benefit to hosting your own Lemmy and mesh it with the other Lemmey’s out there?

If it’s your personal instance: altruism. You’re taking some burden off of the main Lemmy servers by hosting your own with your content. You’re saving them bandwidth, storage and CPU time.

If it’s a public instance meant for others to use: you’re participating in decentralisation and keeping the Fediverse alive. Every new instance has their own mods, rules and policies. It’s like a little island connected to other islands to form a community.

I can wrap my 70 year old head around it.

Holy shit I hope my brain can process new tech at that age like you. Good luck, DM me if you have trouble.

My board has PCIe gen 4 x1, but unfortunately there’s a really cheap card with 6 ethernet ports but PCIe gen 2 X8

I.E. they would have to change the license of Android. Not sure how they are going to do that when the Linux kernel is GPL

Thanks

Thank you for the explanation. It would suck to put down money just to run a nym relay. I was interested in lokinet too but I wouldn’t want to spend more than a small VPS, really

Use Accrescent / Aurora?

Alright thanks

I see. Thanks

I thought they were using the USB protocol. Thanks

Oh. I thought they were using USB. Thanks

PCIe to USB and back to PCIe like what the miners use? Isn’t that unreliable long-term?

Impressive, I didn’t know AirVPN accepted XMR. That greatly influences my decision about them vs PIA and others. I wanted a VPN which I could pay for anonymously and could torrent with (open ports)

I cannot see any decent PCIE X1 to X16 risers on amazon. Everything is USB based which I don’t want

There’s another situation. There are older (and cheaper cards) which are PCIe gen 2 x8. Unfortunately, pcie gen 2 x1 is not going to suffice. What would I have to do to get this older kind of card to work? Do you have any reliable PCIe x1 to x16 risers in mind?

It doesn’t need that kind of bandwidth. 6 gigabit ports cannot saturate pcie gen 3 x1 in terms of bandwidth anyway.

What do I do if the card is PCIe gen 2 x8 though?
