What's up, what's down and what are you not sure about?

Let us know what you set up lately, what kind of problems you currently think about or are running into, what new device you added to your homelab or what interesting service or article you found.

Are there any AI apps that will index markdown documents with a vector DB, then allow you to run natural language queries using some kind of RAG approach with a local LLM?

Closest I've found is LlamaIndex, but this is still more of a 'foundation' than a turn-key solution and right now I'm too time-poor to do the assembly required...

I realise I'm describing close-to-frontier tech, but is there anything more turn-key (Dockerised) out there yet?

My use-case is pretty 'vanilla' in this space: Having a markdown software product knowledge base and wanting quick answers to questions like "How should screen X behave if I am not a registered user?".

Thanks for any suggestions!

Ollama + OpenWebUI also can do this.

As we received new network hardware from our ISP, and inevitably are getting a new IP address again with that, I'm looking into setting up a DDNS. I've wanted to check out DuckDNS.

They run their (free) service on AWS EC2 instances, though, and as I am currently also trying to end my reliance on Google and Amazon, I've got some more digging to do. If anyone has a good, European (or heck, federated?) solution, hmu!

I'm using the Hetzner nameservers, it's not exactly DynDNS but they have a DNS API and I just have a cronjob set up that checks every five minutes if the IP is still correct and updates otherwise.

Using this in the cronjob: https://github.com/FarrowStrange/hetzner-api-dyndns

Building a simple workflow with AI agent for our community watch group. Also building an open source automation platform, currently working through GUI templates for it.

I'd appreciate some feedback on what I'm looking to do.
I'm wanting to follow the FUTO guide, but I don't want to build a router, to save on some money for now.
So I'm planning on buying a Mikrotik MT RB750Gr3 and putting OpenWrt on it, then using my current TP-Link Archer C6 as a wireless access point. (will buy a dedicated AP in the future).
One thing I wonder is, if there is a Mikrotik model that would be better?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago

It looks like the hEX refresh is the same price from that vendor.

RB5009 is better but more expensive. There's a PoE version that can power your WiFi APs in the future.

I also question the decision to put OpenWrt on it. RouterOS is solid. There's a learning curve, but it's worth it if you're a nerd.

I set up my own Lemmy server, mastodon, and matrix. Finally making the move off centralized social media and communication platforms
