M5 ultra as indeed up to 512gb of unified memory. So you can run very large models. At the same time it's much much faster memory speed and bandwidth, almost simular to the nvidia rtx pro 6000.

Sure the price is also high. But you get much better value for this setup compared to what nvidia is delivering you today. I still want to see even more competition.. Not just from Apple.

wow. uh okey, quite a complex setup. But in this specific case it's not even reaching Angie Guardian.. Let alone Angie/Nginx.. It fails clearly at TLS handshaking and the non-TLS is unclear why it fails.

Here is an example if what I would have expected using curl via httpS:

But your non SSL is maybe even more interesting.. since that is also failing (port 80 has NO angie guardian protection btw), here I would expected the following:

curl -v http://angieguardian.org/

* IPv6: (none)
* IPv4: 77.61.56.117

TDLR; clearly something else goes wrong with this setup.

The browser can disable cookies if you want since 1996. So this law was from the beginning outdated. Xd

Rather then removing it. They are extending this law with additional rules and design ideas. 😭😰

on I didn't set a cookie. in c/privacy@lemmy.ml · 10 Aug 2026
I know. I don't want those stupid cookie banners. Hence my "dammit eu rules".

I created my own anti bot protection see https://angieguardian.org. So basically all of them use cookies after you completed a pow or captcha. So next time you load the page it doesn't ask you again. Those cookies may expire within several hours until 1 week depending how the server/anti bot software configure them.

on I didn't set a cookie. in c/privacy@lemmy.ml · 10 Aug 2026
Today all websites that have anti bot protection using pow (proof of work) already use cookies. Which is before they "ask you if you want to agree with cookies" haha. Dammit eu rules.

I also still want a 3 node setup for high availability as well! With the recent ram prices etc. I postponed it.

However the idea is simple. You setup a ceph cluster so the vm storage etc is shared across the cluster or your nodes. Then you can configure for each vm where it should start and where it can fallover to. Eg. Start a vm on node 1, but also allow it to start on either node 2 or 3 in case node 1 is down. Ceph cluster takes care of the rest.

2. I migrated from Nginx to Angie's to get more features for free. And also has builtin let's encrypt support.
3. If the services are public configure fail2ban and something like Angie Guardian see: https://angieguardian.org to reduce ddos and bots.
