They don't have huge clients, just a steady flow. 3 locations due to small 5-7 person groups per office instead of one big office. Tbh idk why they do it like that lol

Kinda, kinda not? The lawyer who owns the firm really wants new Ai features and asks about stuff all the time, but he doesn't necessarily have a specific goal, rather, just gives times to create automations with reports or whatever

That's what I was thinking, they were saying that a 5070 Ti would be good enough for "whatever Ai automations the firm wants to build" which is where I was calling BS

That's what I was thinking too, I'm pretty sure just using the API for those models or a VM with a GPU like you said would be the only viable options

I'm not an expert at all, I've never built out an enterprise system before so that's why I wanted to verify.

I know you can run really small models on some 16gb VRAM cards, so I didn't know if people use tiny models for very basic automation systems or something. I haven't heard of that being viable but wanted to sanity check myself

The lawyer who owns the firm has me approve all tech vendors. I have not built out my personal homelab, know l some jargon and theory, but don't have practical experience here.

Saw red flags and wanted to verify cause it's part of my role

Hi everyone! I've got a question about some guys at work who are pitching that we need a server. This is mostly a sanity check, but I'm pretty sure they're full of shit

The law firm I work for uses a CRM that doesn't have an open API. This is important. You can access a daily updated copy of your data from an S3 bucket with an API, but it's essentially read-only for that reason.

They said they want to set up a server for the firm for " automation" using n8n. We can't use n8n because it doesn't have a native integration with our CRM. They also set up Dropbox for the firm (prior to my time starting) and the firm pays for OneDrive with Microsoft suite already...

Then they said they want local ai for automation so they'll

"Just put a 5070ti in there" For an ai agent for the entire 15-20 person firm. They also never specified what said ai would do. I also think it's completely not viable

Then they said all 3 locations can just use tailscale to access the server simultaneously. All of these people minus me and one other are completely non-technical. I help them restart Excel once a week non-technical.

I cannot possibly think of a viable use case for what they're describing. Am I cinical or are they just looking to make some cash off whatever project they don't know anything about?

What does your self-hosted e-book management workflow look like? by appauled in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

I was looking into Kavita due to their support for manga! I believe most of the ebook readers either support .pdf/.epub style things meant for western books and seperate apps primarily support manga alone, Kavita seemed like the only mature service for all of it!

Lowkey I want to get a job as a devops engineer eventually (may make a new post asking for advice) but I was thinking of trying to set up my homelab using kubernetes. I know it's overkill but I need the project experience and want to learn it, so I was considering LocalHost (self hosted aws-like thingy I think) + terraform / kubernetes to config everything

this is my current plan, but I've yet to selfhost for longer than a month or two previously. what do y'all think of my choices?

Proxmox HV running TrueNAS+Debian Stable Server

Prowlarr: Indexer manager Sonarr: TV show management automation Radarr: Movie management automation LazyLibrarian: Book management automation Lidarr: Music management automation Homarr: Dashboard for managing applications Seerr: Media request management system Jellyfin: Media server qBittorrent: Torrent client NZBGet: Usenet downloader WireGuard: VPN software Surfshark: VPN service Portainer: Docker container management UI Watchtower: Automated Docker container updates Immich: Photo gallery & backup Mealie: Meal planner Moonlight: Low latency remote gaming (retro game emulator focused) Kavita: Ereader for books, manga, audiobooks, most formats Funkwhale: Music streaming

open to suggestions, but wanted to see if the community would perceive this as a reasonably interlocked software system or if i need to be using other software.

incredibly new and lowkey uninformed by trying my best to learn. plz be nice lol
