But how do you find those people solely based on a short interview, where they can use AI tools to perform better if the interview is not held in person?

And mind you the SO was better because you needed to read a lot of answers there and try to understand what would work in your particular case. Learn how to ask smartly. Do your homework and explain the question properly so as not to get gaslit, etc. this is all now gone.

The problem is not only the coding but the thinking. The AI revolution will give birth to a lot more people without critical thinking and problem solving capabilities.

To be honest I don’t really know, but I know that what you want can easily be solved with SOCKS5 proxy. I think Wireguard and other VPNs are added to encrypt the traffic. There are also other alternatives to SOCKS5 proxy adding encryption.

In Wireguard you have those Allowed IPs, you can allow only those IPs to be reachable from outside and you can configure them per client if I am not wrong. I think the easiest way would be for you to run those services over Docker, that way each server will have an IP from your docker network and you can isolate the traffic. https://www.procustodibus.com/blog/2021/03/wireguard-allowedips-calculator/

My personal suggestion is to spin up a VM, install Debian, Ubuntu, or whatever your poison is, run docker compose or podman compose, spring up a Docker or two and Wireguard and try to achieve what you want. Heck you can even run Wireguard from a container. Once confident with your setup you can migrate it to Nix.

There is no need to have them on separate VMs, as containers are already isolated and additional VMs will add more overhead.

It is worth exploring the LXC containers too, even though I prefer Docker with compose for its declarativeness.

Yes, I also heard that he passed, and I really feel bad for the guy, he did an amazing job. Thanks for the link, I didn’t know there was a new place.

Check this project https://github.com/whyvl/wireproxy

I would suggest giving Proxmox a go and virtualise your VMs, as you can easily make snapshots and recover if something goes south.

You can also check https://tteck.github.io/Proxmox/ containing easy deployable scripts to make your life easier.

I would also try to run everything out of Docker compose and create a repo containing all configuration files.

I was looking for a micro LED monitor a couple of months ago, but the technology is still not mature enough and everything on the market simply wasn’t good enough. OLED is great for TVs not so much for productivity monitors, micro LED should be perfect for monitors, but still a couple of years away from the mainstream.

This is more or less the most open source you can get at the moment. And it is way better than OpenAI which is open only in the name.

And listening to JD Vance the other day talking in Paris how the US plans to usurp that technology, I really hope they succeed, as we need more democratic access to AI and not controlled by a single nation.

That’s uplifting news.

The problem is that NVIDIA is consistently gimping the mid range making it a very unattractive proposition.

What is amazing in this case is that they achieved spending a fraction of the inference cost that OpenAI is paying.

Plus they are a lot cheaper too. But I am pretty sure that the American government will ban them in no time, citing national security concerns, etc.

Nevertheless, I think we need more open source models.

Not to mention that NVIDIA also needs to be brought to earth.

The whole idea of self-hosted is to build something yourself and learn your way around some new technology or software. Plus building something yourself allows you to change and upgrade it down the path, while Synology doesn’t provide any of the sort.
