60 TB is really great.

Planning on creating such setup. Mind sharing your current setup and howw you maintain it ?

I am thinking which drives and what size and backup system to use.

I have heard people have successfully utilised Mailcow without any issues for many years.

Personally gave it a try once but setting up ports, firewalls, virus scans, anti spams, dns felt too much effort for what I was going to use it for

One term that UnitedHealth executives obsessed over was “admits per thousand” – APK for short. It was a measure of the rate that nursing homes sent their residents to the hospital. Under the “Premium Dividend” program, a low APK qualified a nursing home for the various bonus payments the insurer offered. A high APK meant that a nursing home received nothing

This is just so un ethical playing games with people's health and lives.

Private healthcare is a failure. These companies priorities profits over public health.

Off topic since you mentioned you are an ML engineer.

How hard is it to train a GPT at home with limited resources.

Example I have a custom use cases and limited data, I am a software developer proficient in python but my experience comes from REST frameworks and Web development

It would be great if you guide me on training at a small scale locally.

Any guides or resources would be really helpful.

I am basically planning hobby projects where I can train on my own data such as my chats with others and then do functions. Like I own a small buisness and we take a lot of orders on WhatsApp, like 100 active chats per month with each chat having 50-500 messages. It might be small data for LLM but I want to explore the capabilities.

I saw there are many ways like fine tuning and one shot models and etc but I didn't find a good resource that actually explains how to do things.

The backups with time shift are incremental, hence most of the time the backup is taken within seconds and it only stores changes over time, something similar to git.

I used to do it exactly for that uses case, the backup was quick because there generally are not much changes outside the home directory.

I used to have Daily backups and monthly backup like 20 different dates stored in a relatively small space.

Like if my system is 30 gb then a 50 gb backup partition would store months of daily backups.

Well in case of medical practitioner it would be stupid to allow someone to do it without a proper degree.

Capitalism ruining schools. Because people now use school as a qualification requirement rather than centers of learning and skill development

Not answering your question but I had installed btrfs on my fedora install, thought I would use it for backups and system restores using snapshots.

But I felt there was always a performance tradeoff when doing a lot of writes like npm install and stuff.

Eventually replaced btrfs with ext4 and backup solution like timeshift.

I would say if you want system recovery then tools like timeshift make it really really simple and straightforward taking backups and restoring them.

Sometimes you just don't need a Swiss army knife to do most basic stuff.
