Ah yeah, if you can only submit once every 30 seconds or something that would defeat the ability to binary search, at least at the speeds that people were submitting today.

Thinking about it a little more, the answer is a number, and the site tells you if you are too high or too low, so a modification of a binary search might be the answer? I’m not sure if there is a submission limit but if there isnt then that could result in a fast submission.
Say the answer is 400 and you guess 100, the site tells you it is too low, you guess 1000, the site tells you its too high, now you know its between 100 and 1000, so you can narrow it down with a guess in the middle until you get to the answer. With some automation this would be pretty quick but it would defeat the point of the challenge.
I’m using nvidia right now with a 3060. It doesnt use much power, I got it for pretty cheap on ebay, and it encodes/decodes everything except for av1 encoding which I dont have use for. Looking at the charts in the link below, if you need to encode av1 you’ld need a 4000 series.

I’ve found nvidia to work pretty well for jellyfin, I use docker with the nvidia container toolkit and it just worked with hardware encoding out of the gate. I also have some other docker containers running gen ai and the 3060 handles them well as long as the modle will fit in vram.
I was using it as a free domain for local things. I had a local address stored in duckdns as *.example.duckdns.org -> 192.168.1.x which pointed to an nginx reverse proxy that I then used to point at different services I host locally. It worked with letsencrypt so I could use https. I bought a domain from namecheap yesterday and have since switched to using them, with the benefit of the new domain being much shorter to type lol. I’m still working on getting letsencrypt working so that I dont have to pay for an ssl, but regular http works fine since its all internal to my network.
https://www.gnutomorrow.com/best-free-dynamic-dns-services/ Here are a few, DuckDNS is listed here funny enough
This is the first time I’ve noticed it not working, if its consistent I’ll probably switch but I havent looked for alternatives yet
It seems to be intermittent? I can access it sometimes and other times I cant. When I cant unbound logs this
2024-03-26T11:14:08-04:00 Error unbound [20503:2] error: SERVFAIL <www.duckdns.org. A IN>: all servers for this domain failed, at zone duckdns.org. no server to query nameserver addresses not usable
I enjoyed sprint weekends this year and I’m excited to see what they will do this year to change them up. I might be in the minority on this but I did like how it changed the weekend up from the typical format. Hopefully the change they will implement adds to the excitement of sprint weekends.
I dont know much about your router/ap, but from some light googling the virgin media hub 5 has 2.5gb/s ethernet and wifi 6 which should be fairly decent. I agree with what most comments are saying about connecting the pi using ethernet (“hardwiring” it) and setting a static ip. The raspberry pi image flasher even has an option for that in the advanced settings if I’m not mistaken. If youre worried about not being able to plug a keyboard/mouse and monitor to the pi look at ssh. If you arnt comfortable with command line/terminal I cant say I’d recommend setting up your own router/firewall.
If you dont have any ethernet ports available on your router then looking at a good switch for 2.5 gbps might be a better bet, I always perfer physical connections to wifi.
If you do want to jump down the rabbit hole of pfsense/opnsense/openwrt then hit ebay and look for a cheap workstation and an intel nic, that will get you started messing about with it. Be sure to do research about power consumption of the device youre getting, the raspberry pis sip power but beefier machines will suck some power and might show up on your electricity bill.
I use opnsense, the forums are a good place to look at hardware that you might want to gravitate towards, intel nics have been my best bet but there are plenty of resources to tell you what is compatible and what isnt with openbsd.
Dang I wish I knew about this a month ago, I just built a NAS myself. Thanks for the link!
Are you tellin me a shrimp stuffed this ribeye?
I can recommend the dietpi OS; it is a minimal os that comes with a package manager for installing containers for things like radarr, sonarr, deluge, and jellyfin, which will allow you to download/watch movies(find on radarr, download with deluge, watch on jellyfin) and tv shows (find on sonarr, download with deluge, watch on jelyfin) in a fairly autonomous way. Its a bit of setup if you havent done it before it might not be for you but once its running its fairly seamless.
Interesting read, thanks for posting. I hadn’t considered how predictive text works in a terminal emulator and its cool to see how that works as well as getting a better understanding of child processes and what commands would/wouldn’t start one
I threw this on my server to see how it runs, I’m not able to see any of my library( I think this is the connection to jellyfin) or any way that it connects to my sonarr/radarr services? I tripple checked that the api keys are correct but I’m still not seeing anything. I saw that someone else said that it does browser caching and I have a large library so maybe that is the issue. I look forward to seeing how this project progresses because I host all of these services and it will be nice to have one place to go for them.
Sounds super interesting, though I’m not sure if I understand 100% what it does. Seems like its a centralized login system for connecting to any setup application, so could it be setup to login to say jellyfin/plex/gitlab. Does it need an ldap system to connect to? Could it store ssh keys? Can it connect to bitwarden or is it more of a replacement for bitwarden?
That is impressive, I think it took me more than 30 seconds to get the regex I wanted to use correct, more or less the rest of the solution. This is my first time doing AoC or anything like it so I wasn’t expecting to be anywhere near the top, but the times I saw there were shocking.
