Week 04: Hello World
I start this journal after finding India's subsidized GPU portal, wrestling with Jellyfin transcoding and a dead mini PC, and linking my server via Tailscale.
To document my journey on AI Observability, FOSS and technology. I have started this weekly note to make my learning more concrete and share it with the world.
What I learned
- Startups in India can get subsidized GPU access through the India AI Compute Portal
- Got introduced to Anna’s Archive by a colleague for books.
- In the Wayback Machine Chrome Extension you can automatically save the webpages permanently.
What failed
- There was a long power cut and my mini PC battery drained. When the power restored, it never worked.
- Jellyfin is behaving strangely. It is unable to play the video files after the restart. I have made transcoding changes from Vaapi to AMD transcoding. It started working, but once I tried to change the quality of the video, it stopped working.
- Tried to import my website’s old analytics data from Umami to Rybbit. Did not able to suceed. I was able to export the postgres DB dumpt to CSV, but not sure Rybbit always showed no records found.
- Tried to install Lidarr and Ombi for music management. However, the search was not at all working. I parked it to try again later.
What I built
- Started a series on Practical Observability with Python
- I have connected my physical server to my VPS server and able to show the status of the containers running in my physical server. I installed tailscale on my VPS server and able to connect to my physical server.
