Absolutely sick!!! Love this so much. I'm on a journey to have my own homelab via a k8s setup so that I would have project experience and qualifications for a DevOps engineering job. I've also seen people use LocalStack to essentially emulate AWS and set up homeland via LocalStack and k8s to get project experience. That's next up for my list!

God forbid I said sibling instead of offspring. Lord.

Idk why you're incredibly bitter, I get your kiddo manipulated other people into taking care of them, but that doesn't mean everyone else is your child and there's no exceptions.

Can we at least be on the same page and acknowledge not everyone who uses a label is the same exact person in the same exact situation?

Disagree, social or physical bullying is about the same effect, except the risk of physically hurting someone is exchanged with the social risk of pushing people towards depression, self-harm, and suicide.

Sounds like someone who's choosing to be lazy instead of someone who is unable to work. Not the same thing, ignorant to say everyone who uses that label is the same as your sibling

They're contractors, I'm supposed to approve/deny said contractors

They don't have huge clients, just a steady flow. 3 locations due to small 5-7 person groups per office instead of one big office. Tbh idk why they do it like that lol

Kinda, kinda not? The lawyer who owns the firm really wants new Ai features and asks about stuff all the time, but he doesn't necessarily have a specific goal, rather, just gives times to create automations with reports or whatever

That's what I was thinking, they were saying that a 5070 Ti would be good enough for "whatever Ai automations the firm wants to build" which is where I was calling BS

I'm not an expert at all, I've never built out an enterprise system before so that's why I wanted to verify.

I know you can run really small models on some 16gb VRAM cards, so I didn't know if people use tiny models for very basic automation systems or something. I haven't heard of that being viable but wanted to sanity check myself

The lawyer who owns the firm has me approve all tech vendors. I have not built out my personal homelab, know l some jargon and theory, but don't have practical experience here.

Saw red flags and wanted to verify cause it's part of my role

It's kinda fucked right now lol but it's an:

• i5-9600k (6/12 thread)
• 1070 GPU
• 32gb ddr4
• 16tb 3.5" hhd (I know I know I'll get another one later but they're like $350 😭😭😭)

I have also never posted on lemmy!

• that seems
• like it's
• a great
• thing to
• know!
