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!
Ooh this is a nice list of apps! I like doing things the hard way so I’ll probably skip the Freedombox part but these app ideas have got me thinking…
Yeah an online instance would be a good place to start. Maybe a GoToSocial instance.
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!
Gotcha. All I can add is a vote for Plausible. It’s great!
I spun up Plausible for my company site. Pretty straight forward honestly. It’s completely dockerized so there’s not a lot going on.
Your biggest problem is exposing the service on your home server to the internet. I personally wouldn’t recommend it, but if you know what you’re doing it’s possible.
That’s great advice! Thanks again. Frankly I’m a little jealous that my wife’s barbarian is absolutely shredding through enemies with a self-returning javelin and I’m here with my sheepy monk finishing off the 1 health enemies because my damage is so low compared to hers.
Anyway, that’s all to say that I’ll take any recommendation that makes my monk more interesting in fights. I like the RP of playing as a monk, just not the weak sauce attacks. The utility of spells in way of the 4 elements has been fun though. We don’t have another spellcaster in the party so the push/pull/prone affects have been fantastic.
Thanks for the explanation. I see the original intent now. It does look like the version in BG3 is slightly more crippled than the original 5e take.
Charger: Weapon Attack does appear to do 5 more damage as my usual weapon attack is a 1d8+3, but the dash range is only 9m. With my normal movement range of 12m, that’s a total of 21m. A main action dash would’ve been 24m. Coupled with monk flurry of blows bonus action, it actually makes more sense to just dash + flurry rather than use this feat if my intention is maximizing range.
Charger: Shove runs into the same range issues. But with no 10 feet bonus to the push. Once again, a main action dash + bonus action shove works better and without taking up a feat.
Thanks for the note on respec. I haven’t talked to Withers till now.
Thanks! I’ll stick to the RAID 1 option then. I was looking at S3 Glacier for backup when it comes to that. But I really don’t want to worry about it too much until I’ve really got something going that I plan to use longer term.
