Absolutely not.

It’s a trap.

I see. Makes sense.

If you need to serve only one user at the time, ollama +Webui works great. If you need multiple users at the same time, check out vLLM.

Why can’t it serve multiple users? Open Web UI seems to support multiple users.

There’s a WIP VirtIO driver in a PR but it’s not done yet. VMware’s own VMSVGA is open source if I remember correctly. I wonder if they’ll adapt it to KVM and if they do, whether that’ll be usable in KVM without VMware.

If we get VirtIO 3D acceleration in Windows guests from this, I’d be really happy.

While not entirely wrong, I’d take anything out of free market fundamentalists mouths like the ones at Mises with a gain of salt.

Oh this is very interesting!

I think federated non-profit video platforms won’t work on large scale without P2P.

Android has had this built-in for a few releases now.

The distance and the budget call for 75-85". I have had good luck with an entry level Sony. I bought an X85K 85" two years ago. It’s one step above the cheapest model. The cheapest model was an IPS panel which had a bit shittier performance. I don’t recall in what regard. X85K is a Samsung panel. It’s a standard no-nonsense LED side backlight which is very robust over time. The original unit was a lemon. It developed a line across the screen. I got it replaced under warranty. The second unit has been flawless so far. Software-wise, it’s a bog-standard Android TV/Google TV. Doesn’t require Internet connection to setup. With that said I use a CCwGTV with it and I don’t hear a peep from the TV OS about anything. The only thing I didn’t like about it was the price at the time. I bought it straight from Sony, they ship from GTA. It was available from other retailers too. I think this model might still be current actually. I still see it on Sony’s web along with another one - X85J.

Prior to that I had an entry level Samsung 75". It was fine too. Didn’t require Internet. The panel was a similar affair, slightly worse in terms of blacks and uniformity but I’m sure that wasn’t due to its Samsungness but was simply a cheaper panel than what Sony uses.

T > L, that’s about it.

The VPN should keep access to the homelab even when the external IP changes. Assuming the VPN connects from the homelab to the cloud. The reverse proxy would use the VPN local IPs to connect to services.

Cool window manager.

If you’re switching low power inconsequential things like LED lights, they’re OK.

This like most plugs in this format is not for inductive loads so it can only handle 300W with such:

It might be OK if the AC units are small enough.

If you’re gonna be switching AC units, you likely want a plug that can switch inductive loads. Most can’t. Well they can but their relays crap out quickly. Here’s an example of a unit rated for inductive loads. It’s for NA and uses Z-wave so it’s not what you’re looking for. They explicitly call out it can be used for AC motors. Some units explicitly say they can’t be used for inductive loads but many don’t and you learn the hard way.
