Hello, I'm incompetent.

Recently, I've set up my home server environment to some extent, so I'm writing about it.

Server Environment

Mainly for Docker application containers.

It's for casually launching various applications.

Because I've been actively and steadily reducing resource usage, and only I use it, even with 14 containers, the total memory usage is around 1GiB.

Recently, I've been plagued by a mysterious server shutdown issue.

I've removed the default NetworkManager and started installing ifupdown. If something is suspicious, I suspect the interface itself might be getting disconnected, so I'm observing it for a while.

Because this is the main server hosting this blog, it would be problematic if this server died.

Originally, it was intended for remote gaming using things like Moonlight for simple games, and as a server for video conversion and image processing using CUDA, but in reality, it has mostly become a machine for image collection, image tagging, and heavy builds.

Honestly, from my perspective, it's unnecessarily high-spec, so I've been thinking lately that I might as well buy a used M1 Mac mini and move everything over.

After that, I think it would be good to have one machine that can accommodate a lot of external storage to serve as a NAS machine.

What Makes Writing Engaging?

Recently, I've found myself reading more articles generated by LLMs in my daily life, which made me wonder, what else am I reading besides those? It seems quite a few people only read articles after having them summarized. In that case, I can only say that it's probably human-generated content, but what I read is:

  • Because I'm interested in the author

  • Because it's a niche genre

  • Do I even care about readability in the first place?

    • It's not that I have good reading comprehension; I can't understand works by Yukio Mishima or overly old works at all.

    • But I also can't read things that are too difficult to read.

  • Because I like silly or trivial things

    • If I only wanted the latest information from 2ch/5ch, Reddit, Twitter/X, or other SNS, I could probably find better ways, and in fact, for the latest technology, Hacker News or what's trending on Zenn is often quite sufficient.

Or something like that?

I liked content that felt like 'scribbles on the back of a flyer,' or rather, it's the kind of technical sites I read as a student that left an impression on me.

Fundamentally,

  • From what human perspective

  • As an opinion

I can't help but be curious about what people think about these kinds of things.

There's no denying that the speed is clearly accelerating, but the current social structure where humans pay and receive money should be unchangeable as long as humanity exists.

If the common bottleneck is humans, then the entire world itself would be a bottleneck, but that's too simplistic, and it's good that there are extra, unnecessary things. There are novels, manga, movies, and music. If the majority already believe that waste is unnecessary, then most people in this world would be minimalists.

I've digressed a bit, but what makes me want to read can be summarized as follows:

  • Silly things

That's all!

Until next time, thank you.
