Waiting on a merge it looks like

Picked up an AMD instinct mi25 to try and do just that. Can get easy-diffusion working after some cussing and voodoo. Cannot get rocm to do ANY llm of any kind, feels like a waste of video ram

Also have a tesla p4 that runs most text-to-image models rather well, but have been unsuccessful at any llm either, even oobabooga can’t seem to run on it.

Have given up because the software stack keeps advancing and leaving my hardware behind. I don’t have $3000 for an a100 or $1300 for an mi100 sooo… until the models can run on older/less powerful hardware, I’m probably sitting out of this game. Even though I’d love to be elbow deep in this one.

snekerpimp ,

It has been. I started in this because I liked picking up kick ass enterprise hardware really cheap and playing around with what it can do. Used enterprise hardware is so damn expensive now, it’s cheaper and easier to do everything with consumer products and use the rx6700 in my gaming rig. Just don’t want that running llms and always on.

ChatGPT now just says “read the docs!” To every question

Any old Dell desktop/workstation/server should reach those specs. Poweredge rX30 and up, precision XX20/30 and up or optiplex (don’t know or understand that product line). Most of them are being rescued from the landfill. Might have to spend a crap ton over your budget, like 5-10x over, but you will get those specs.

Look at an r430 barebones, no cpu/ram and build from there using spec sheets from Dell on what it takes. I was able to get one for $400 3 years back, even came with 16gb of ram and a single 10 core Xeon e5-v3.

Also, what are you doing that need these kinds of specs? Running more than 10 VMs at once? Cloud gaming? Form follows function.

Windows 11 Start menu ads are now rolling out to everyone (www.theverge.com)

Microsoft is starting to enable ads inside the Start menu on Windows 11 for all users. After testing these briefly with Windows Insiders earlier this month, Microsoft has started to distribute update KB5036980 to Windows 11 users this week, which includes “recommendations” for apps from the Microsoft Store in the Start menu....

snekerpimp ,

Let me see if I can use windows without opening the start menu now

snekerpimp ,

Repairable, open phone, you can load whatever OS you want. A phone that is more akin to a computer than a smartphone. A pinephone, but better.

snekerpimp ,

Nightmare fuel…. “I Robot” kind of scary

snekerpimp ,

At least they aren’t only working on preventing hair loss and prolonging erections

Paraphrasing a joke from a movie called “Idiocracy”

snekerpimp ,

Ummm… really? The technology is nowhere near the hype they are putting behind it. Just some AI snake oil salesmen. The next few years will be filled with “ai” e-waste as people use the buzzword to sell garbage.

snekerpimp ,

But you can, look at Nvidia

snekerpimp ,

Ehhhh… Nvidia stumbled upon the fact that their specialized silicon does very well with AI tasks. And yes, their software stack is leagues ahead of anyone else. But they are completely riding the “AI” buzzword popularity wave, and their overinflated stock price is evidence of that. This is just my honest opinion, having no background in any of this, just a casual dabbler and tech enthusiast.

snekerpimp , (edited )

Current LLMs agi are no where near what a definition of “AI” is, yet all are being market as “AI”. It is just a buzzword. Like “synergy” and “cloud”. It has lost its meaning.

edit: confuzzled my buzzwords

snekerpimp ,

Yes, thank you. I don’t do buzzwords well

snekerpimp ,

I suck at Othello as well

snekerpimp ,

We should teach critical thinking and logic skill from month one. There will be so much propaganda and misinformation from this point on, being able to spot it, most of the time with common sense, would nip most of this crap in the butt.

snekerpimp ,

Critical thinking and common sense are not even close to being the same. Perhaps finding the definition of critical thinking would be a prudent thing before dismissing it as a buzz word.

Only downside is Reolink encodes in hvec. Frigate handles it fine, but be aware that viewing may be an issue. I’d still buy more Reolink cameras though.

Proper procedure for migrating servarr services from JABOD to zfs

Setting up my server as a newbie some years ago, I did not have the ability to purchase more then one 8TB hard drive. Outgrew that rather quick and now I have two additional 16TB drives, in a Just A Bunch Of Disk configuration, mounted to different /mnt mount points. I know this is not ideal, but lacking the ability to expand...

snekerpimp OP ,

Already have a 3-2-1 backup of the config folders and compose files, and I have backups of the VM if anything goes south. Making sure my logic train was on the right path.

snekerpimp ,

They will all reinstall themselves with the next update

And Microsoft is known throughout the world as an honest company that follows the laws, complies with regulations and keeps it’s word.

snekerpimp ,

It was never on my list of places to go, but it is now definitely on my list of places not to go.

snekerpimp ,

Government just controls the birds

snekerpimp ,

In all honesty, I use the arch manual to troubleshoot all distros. It is well written and has the info you need and no more.

snekerpimp ,

I knew nothing about hosting a service to the public. Cloudflare tunnels helped simplify it for me. It looks more complicated than it is.

PoE Single Board/Micro/Mini Computer/Server

I have an 8gb Raspberry Pi 4 that has been a workhorse for years. I keep it for my not intense but essential networking purposes, NetBoot.xyz, Homepage, etc., because I can run it over PoE (edit: Power over Ethernet), so it is always on as long as my network is up....

snekerpimp OP ,

Power over Ethernet. Sorry, read it over three time for spelling, didn’t catch that I never gave the acronym meaning.

snekerpimp OP ,

I have three Raspberry Pi 4 4gb and 1 Pi 4 8gb at my disposal, and I still have moments where the thing I need to do will hiccup, or be slower than usual. The Pi 5 has been said to be two times as fast, which is plenty for me. just with the price all in of over $100, curious if anyone else has a better option/opinion

snekerpimp OP ,

I have a cluster of four running all off a single switch, incredibly convenient.

snekerpimp OP ,

Webpage loads are slow, especially images, netboot is a bit slow. I'm sure it's i/o bottleneck and that everything is running in docker containers. I could probably optimize things a bit better, I just don't have that kind of time for these projects, and getting an old dell micro would be faster than what I have. but they don't run on PoE+ that I know of.

X, Formerly Twitter, Claims Indian Govt Issued 'Executive Orders' To Act On Some Posts (www.outlookindia.com)

From what I've observed, many accounts which were critiqued to the current Modi govt have been withheld in the country. Accounts of farmer leaders were also suspended amid the ongoing farmers protest in the country. It's worth noting that India will see the general elections this year around May.

I mean musk is free to say whatever he wants, that all he cares about.

    I’m sure they will put it behind a $79.99 month paywall

    Create the folder you want them in. Add that root folder to Radarr. Batch edit the root folder of all movies to the new folder. Click on move the files for me. Sit back for a few hours while it does the rest. When the process is done, then you come back and click that x.

    It’s one of many ways to do this.

    Tabby has a server that lets you synch your profiles.

    snekerpimp ,

    Tabby and xpipe is what I moved to after I was locked out of my Termius account. Tabby is what I use mostly now, there is a server you can run that lets you sync your profiles.

    Google Cuts Thousands of Workers Improving Search After Search Results Scientifically Shown to Suck (www.vice.com)

    Google Cuts Thousands of Workers Improving Search After Search Results Scientifically Shown to Suck::"These workers provide critical support that keeps Google’s flagship Search results and Bard AI safe and functional for the company’s billions of users," the union representing the contractors said.

    “Since a study said you guys are sucking at your job, we are just going to cancel the lot of you”

    Probably just poor timing, still bad optics.
