Throw zenamor and suricata at the OPNsense VM

An N100 is not going to do what I want to punish this thing with. I have an N100 build going now. It’s good but it is what it is and it’s not going to handle steam games.

Oh I get that but that would mean I would have an Intel CPU as well. No. I’m fine getting an intel dGPU but not an intel CPU. Even if I end up with a Ryzen CPU and throwing the Intel GPU in a pcie v4 slot that still plenty for this.

I wouldn’t mind an ARM build for some of this but they are expensive and not supported by mainline OPNsense so if I’m going to be spending all this money on it, it should be able to streams games too, replacing multiple power hungry devices. And ARM can’t do that.

I am thinking a Ryzen with lots of cores I just pin shit to and an Intel GPU for most things. Supposedly there is work going into SR-IOV support on battlemage but it’s not out yet. The 9000X Ryzen chips supposedly have iGPUs on them too so I wonder if I could throw them at frigate. The encoder just can’t be done on the CPU because AMD has by far the worst encoders, though I’ve heard the new AV1 encoders aren’t terrible.

NVIDIA is not an option for me. The hardware is great but the company is evil and I won’t give them my money.

I wish SR-IOV support was more common. I suspect I will end up with an Intel GPU most things and an AMD GPU on passthru for the games. So needlessly inefficient.

I’m looking ant intel and AMD GPUs. What fits in these minis?

I want to avoid Intel CPUs. I also don’t generally need transcoding for my setup but want the option and aside from Apple, Intel has the best encoders out there right now. AMD has better rendering GPUs but they have historically had absolutely terrible encoders. Nvidia is not getting my business. They can fuck right off.

But I can’t throw a GPU into a mini for sunshine.

Oh please understand I read your comment as intrigue and not hostility. I welcome the conversation, including any rebuttals that could prove me wrong.

I like it here on Lemmy. People complain about the tankies but overall it’s actually been very tame and friendly compared to Reddit and conversations like this are just a joy for me.

It solves a problem we don’t really have anymore.

Well it’s heavier and slower than native code and due in part to being an oracle technology people kind of avoid it anymore. It’s kind of a legacy language at this point.

Nothing. But this does it all in bulk instantly for free.

This looks….abusable. I mean, the immich thing is nice but what’s stopping me from breaking into an iCloud account, dumping the photos into this and letting it tell me the best way to stalk someone?

Also, Java in 2025 is an odd thing to see. What problem did using Java solve?

I’m don’t understand the point of tailscale if straight WireGuard is so simple.

Open source - probably some issues I’m too lazy to find but me and anyone else can search for and fix them whenever we want.

Closed source - there is no war in bah sing sei.

Wouldn’t containers make more sense for some of these rather than full blown VMs?
