kyleandClaude Fable 5.1 b632e20fd6 dixie: new host — Aurora R11 helper-tier inference node

Alienware Aurora R11 (i7-10700, 64 GB, one RTX 3060 12 GB today; second card
when its fans are replaced). Headless, Wi-Fi only, unencrypted root by
decision (always-on box that must come back from a power cut unattended).

- llama.cpp router (CUDA, from unstable) on :11434 with the three helper
  models resident (--models-max 3): ornith 9B for the Hermes approval guardian
  / title / web_extract and Honcho deriver, qwen3-4b for Honcho dialectic,
  Qwen3-Embedding-0.6B for Honcho embeddings. Vision (qwen3-vl-8b) on its own
  on-demand server on :11433 since it does not fit beside them in 12 GB.
- Both servers tailnet-only (tailscale0 firewall); GPUs capped at 140 W
  (thermal hour 2026-09-21: 75 C plateau, no throttling).
- Model weights on the USB cache stick (ext4 label dixie-cache) bind-mounted
  into /var/lib/llama-server/models; filled from straylight with dixie-push.
- 6.12 LTS kernel (mt7921u for the AX9L USB Wi-Fi arriving 2026-09-24).
- SSH keys baked in: no console after install to add them from.

NixOS configs

Hosts

vade

vade is a Framework 12 whose primary purpose is emacs/obsidian and claude coding.

vade comes from vade mecum ("go with me"), the Latin term for a portable handbook or manual

RAM: 16G
Storage: 512G

straylight

A Framework Desktop.

CPU: Ryzen™ AI Max+ 395
RAM: 128GB
Storage: 2x WD_BLACK™ SN7100 NVMe™ - M.2 2280 - 1TB

orion

orion is my Intel NUC desktop. It is slated be an additional server alongside rift with the advent of the Framework desktop.

orion is my favorite constellation.

CPU: i5-1135G7 @ 2.40 GHz

rift

rift is the homelab Intel NUC.

CPU: i7-1165G7 @ 2.80GHz

Inactive hosts

These hosts have been decomissioned. Their configs are retained for history.

imladris

imladris is my Thinkpad X1 carbon tailored for focused computing.

imladris is the Elvish name for Rivendell, and I imagined this to be a similar haven. Superseded by vade.

Baseline specs for reference:

Gen 7 14"
CPU: i7-8665U @ 1.90GHz
16GB RAM
512GB SSD

The primary things I want to use it for are writing, lisping, and working on uLisp or other portable computing projects.
