  • I actually switched to Comcast recently. The only fiber option we have is AT&T and they have been literally adding $5 to our monthly bill every few months or so. What started as an $80/mo deal became $105/mo for no apparent reason.

    Comcast was offering asymmetrical 1 gigabit with a 5 year lock at $65/mo. Install came out the next day and it’s been fine. I’m far more likely to hit 1000mbps actual on Comcast than when I had ATT. But on the flip side the service has a tendency to blip every now and then. No major packet loss or anything just the occasional slowness.

    Both companies can go to hell the moment my city introduces municipal fiber. But that’s highly unlikely.








  • Your phone’s hotspot likely doesn’t create a local network. The other problem is that Tailscale works by creating a secure tunnel between your client and your PC. Local devices won’t have access to this secure tunnel. You need to setup Tailscale directly on the client device you want to connect to your PC from for it to work.








  • I see the appeal with unRAID! My drives are pretty straight forward though I pretty much only plan to use the 2 4TB drives. Will probably skip the RAID for now (it’s not going to store anything SUPER important) and just use it as a hobby test server.

    Ollama of course! Looks like the 1080s should be able to handle most 7B models. Exciting! Thanks for the help and suggestions!




  • Pretty sure it has 2 HDD bays, so I was thinking I would do something similar to the Synology Hybrid RAID on a 4TB drive. On retrospect though this might be way too crippling of a move for a play server, so I might forgo the RAID idea.

    The Linux Upskill Challenge looks perfect! I feel comfortable with about 40% of the table of contents. Should be a fun weekend of experimenting.

    Thanks for the help!
