I pay just over $7 USD a year for my .link domain. I originally got it through Spaceship.com but transferred it to cloudflare this year.

Hey, so. If you have an unused m.2 slot, you can get a m.2 to pcie riser adapter, and then put your HBA into that.

Otherwise, yeah, you’ll need an mITX board with another PCIe or an oculink, or that at least supports PCIe bifurcation, which yours does not.

I was bored. I’m not running it in a docker VM any more. I am now running it directly on FreeBSD using podman and FreeBSD’s Linux compatibility layer.

We don’t all live in overcrowded cities.

When do I get charged??

I’ve had Starlink for two years. My monthly bill is $55 a month, and no rental either…

So.

I did a thing.

I have audiomuse-ai running its main, complete docker compose script, with all containers, on my 8GB Raspi5, and worker-only containers running on:

• An 8GB bhyve VM on my FreeBSD box
• An E2-6110 AMD pre-ryzen APU with 16GB of ddr3
• A Ryzen 5800x w 32GB RAM

They’ve been running about a week, and I’m a little over a third of the way through

Once the initial analysis is complete, I’ll stop all worker containers and leave it all just running fully on the pi5.

I also created a worker-only addon for the 6600T machine, but as it is already running HAOS and Jellyfin, I was getting a lot of OOM-related failures when it was running.

But I also have 32G of used, eBay bought, ddr4 SODIMMs.coming for it.

Bonus: Most of my homelab is in this. The only things missing are my Sophos running OPNsense, and the raspi5. Oh, and my actual desktop machine.

I’ve been considering audiomuse, but I have old equipment available.

My options are my media server, which is an old Xeon E3-1275v3 with 32G of RAM, which also hosts Navidrome, my arr stack and the associated downloaders, or my Home Assistant and Jellyfin box, which is a Lenovo M700 Tiny which is an i5 6600T but has only 8G of ram.

Or, an 8G Pi5 with an SSD (using the pi SSD hat)

I’m not sure either of those 3 options would handle audiomuse AI all that well…

Sounds like a skill issue.

I’m just a dumb ol trucker with an Alabama public school education.

I managed to set it up with no issues.

And for the record, it doesn’t do “random” updates unless you tell it to.

So why were you updating anything that was working? Were you using cheap-ass crap that needed a cloud connection?

Don’t blame HA for your choice in gear.

Former trucker here.

I’ve been using home assistant for a year. No degree in software engineering here

Stupidly simply to set up.

It’s cute that you’re worried about me. But it’s still better than whatever else is currently available at my house. And it will always be better than anything using geostationary orbit.

I’d rather have fiber, too. But until it’s available here, this is the next best thing.

Physics says otherwise.

Geostationary orbit, which is where hughesnet satellites are, is approximately 22 THOUSAND miles away.

That’s a round trip of 44 thousand miles.

That’s a ping time of 236ms just for the satellite connection, before any other connections are added in.

That’s worse than my dialup latency was in the 90s

Meanwhile, my Starlink ping averages less than 40ms, because these satellites are MUCH MUCH closer.

TIL 120 is 4 x 70…

Edit to add everything below this line

Downvotes for facts. I pay 120/mo. It’s either this, 3Mbps DSL, or T-Mobile home 5G that works when it feels like it.
