[restive lion]

Because they've run out of ips

[grim belfry]

[e-mail] There you go, random ISP sysadmin

[grim belfry]

They can still submit geofeeds for IPs they are announcing

[fair estuary]

im using starlink cause im in the middle of nowhere and they change my ip every like 2 weeks

[restive lion]

That's pretty normal ISP behaviour

[grim belfry]

Starlink uses CGNAT

[lyric sphinx]

But now Elon can watch you while you sleep

[fair estuary]

not every 2 weeks surely? all the ones before would change it maybe evrry 5 months if that

[restive lion]

Basically just whenever you get disconnected you get assigned a new one

[fair estuary]

its quite annoying for remot working because for me too use the works github the ips are whitelisted so i need too keep telling my boss, "oh my ip changed again"

[lyric sphinx]

The numbers are all made up anyway

[grim belfry]

Your boss needs to do shit better

Manually whitelisting IPs to access internal services is stupid

[grim belfry]

Not on CGNAT

[lyric sphinx]

If your company used a VPN it could hook you into authorized IP

[fair estuary]

might mention too him. too maybe get it changed so the commits just need too be signed then im sure github allows you too block pushes/pulls if not from a specific signature maybe

[grim belfry]

Realistically if it's Github an IP whitelist is probably overkill

SSO would be more than enough

I'm actually surprised Starlink hasn't started using MAP-T considering they control the CPE

[fair estuary]

could be overkill idk, alot of the customers are government entities (i can say this its listed publically on our website) so security is pretty high

[grim belfry]

security isn't very high since they are whitelisting random Starlink IPs

[frosty quartz]

Does a catalyst cisco 4006 help with network security?

[graceful burrow]

Should prolly read the rules lol

[burnt summit]

yk I completely forgot to do that thanks

[frosty quartz]

#rules

[grim belfry]

That is an ancient switch

[frosty quartz]

Its retired! I wont be able to run it 😦

[manic torrent]

hahahahhahahahhahahahahaha

that is horrifying

[grim belfry]

High security

[manic torrent]

If only VPNs and SSO and internal subnets and etc existed.

I wonder if any executives in charge of the ESAP got penalised

[supple pawn]

Anyone excited for the new 50 series graphics cards?

[fair estuary]

https://docs.github.com/en/enterprise-cloud@latest/authentication/authenticating-with-saml-single-sign-on/about-authentication-with-saml-single-sign-on
? this?

[grim belfry]

Yes that

Do you not use SSO?

[fair estuary]

i believe so. i mean you need too be in the organisation to be able too push/pull anything aswell as the ip whitelist and there is an ssh key you need too use aswell

im not very well versed in that side of things ill be honest. i just do programming and pushing and pulling works for me when needed apart from when my ip changes

[grim belfry]

Do you use the same login (Okta or Google Workspace, Entra ID, etc) for everything?

[fair estuary]

yeah

[grim belfry]

So you do have SSO

[fair estuary]

ah then yes lol

ill still mentioned to my boss about the ip thing since you're saying that is bad especially if for starlink multiple people get the same ip

[edgy elm]

hi

[shut birch]

trouble with sleeping

[fair estuary]

just looking at my star link thing. on average I'm using 2tb a month 😐
not sure thats normal for just a residential thing

[dusky glade]

Not one bit

[shut birch]

im broke

[graceful burrow]

I'm excited to see how hilariously overpriced they will be

Can't wait to see the used market fuckin implode

[shut birch]

[fair estuary]

i might try get a 5090 cause why not. dont need it for gaming just neural network programming / 3d modelling

probably a better gpu for that kinda stuff

[vapid smelt]

but Nvidia wants you to pay the professional tax and get a quadro or what ever

[lyric sphinx]

Become a neo miner

[fair estuary]

i mean anything is gonna be better then my current system thats now like 10 years old

CPU: Intel i7-4790K (8) @ 4.400GHz 
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 
Memory: 14555MiB / 32043MiB (DDR3)

[supple pawn]

If you need an upgrade, I have a nice r9 370

[dusky glade]

fair enough

my dad was on an Athlon dual core until I got him a 6700 😭

[fair estuary]

tryna save up £4k for my next computer, got 3k so far so nearly there

[supple pawn]

£4k seems expensive for a computer?

[fair estuary]

i mean

half of that will probably be just for the 5090 lol

[supple pawn]

Going to water cool it I imagine?

[golden talon]

If you're doing that stuff, clouds are way better.

Buying hardware yourself for those kinds of projects arent economical

[fair estuary]

i want to try get 128GB RAM (do i need that, no. but future proofing i guess)
high core count cpu (just too help with programming)
high memory gpu for 3d modelling stuff
storage eh i dont need that much tbh got a 64tb nas already so could just go with a 1tb m.2 ssd

[supple pawn]

You could always rent your system

[golden talon]

to who? how?

[supple pawn]

Rent a system from NZXT. Is a good deal.

[vapid smelt]

nzxt has a great rental program /s

[fair estuary]

how so though?

[golden talon]

Incredible

[fair estuary]

i mean neural network progamming aint all too intensive at the scale id be doing it. not like ill be trying too recreate gpt4
just some basic stuff for image rec sorta things

[harsh quartz]

Idk which is funnier. That it’s gonna be 2k or that people are gonna be upset when it’s 2k

[dull vigil]

hi i am new to the sever

[grim belfry]

Is this for work?

[golden talon]

even more reason to do that on a cloud for a couple of bucks instead of dropping $2K on a gpu lol

[supple pawn]

Hi New to the Server, nice to meet you

[dull vigil]

:/ thanks

[fair estuary]

nah just home stuff

[grim belfry]

Vert is right, cloud compute will be wayyy cheaper

[fair estuary]

and how long before i spend 2k on the cloud? maybe a year?. when i can have the system for like 10 years?

[dull vigil]

also which is better rtx 2060 super or rx 5700

becuase i want to get a new gpu and these are the two i am debating about

[supple pawn]

https://tenor.com/view/here-it-comes-tornado-meme-gif-23054073

[golden talon]

a 5090 in 10 years will be the equivalent of ewaste

thats the beauty of a cloud

[grim belfry]

You can rent a H100 for like 2USD/hour with no commit

[golden talon]

or a 4090 for 30 cents an hour

[grim belfry]

Yep

[fair estuary]

not really. my 1080 from 7 years ago is still running just fine

[harsh quartz]

Is it useful for neural whatever you’re doing?

[grim belfry]

Almost certainly not

[fair estuary]

it works yes

[harsh quartz]

shhhh don’t give the answer away

[harsh quartz]

Is it useful

[supple pawn]

The 2060 super will be marginally better, I believe? Depends on pricing.

[grim belfry]

Is it fast?

[fair estuary]

does it takes its time yes. but im used too waiting for stuff so if it takes like a day too train the model i dont really care

[golden talon]

I feel like it's people like this that the 4060 Ti 16GB is for

[harsh quartz]

If so, why upgrade?

[fair estuary]

because its slow

[grim belfry]

#public-chat message

[harsh quartz]

So either your okay with waiting or not :p

[golden talon]

5090 for "casual neural network programming" is just so funny to me

[manic torrent]

a casual few grand

[dull vigil]

.

[manic torrent]

that ... doesn't make sense at all

that's like "future proofing". It's a hilarious concept

[supple pawn]

.

[golden talon]

especially when, by their own words the 1080 "works" and "doesn't really care if it takes its time"

[fair estuary]

?

[golden talon]

that being said, if e-waste works for you, then so be it

[dull vigil]

its still good to future proof becuase i am the type of guy to want my build to last and squeeze every buck out of it thats why i am palnning on going onto am5

[dusky glade]

well if its an H100 at $2 per day, youre talking 6~ years ish right

[dull vigil]

response....

[manic torrent]

There is a degree of future compatibility you can aim for, but 'future proofing' is a hilarious fools errand, and is wasted money.

[golden talon]

Not a fair comparison considering an H100 will absolutely shit on a 5090 on any AI related task

By many magnitudes btw

[grim belfry]

2USD per hour

[dusky glade]

Brother I am multitasking and KNEW i missed something

[grim belfry]

Not that it'd be used 24/7 though

[dusky glade]

thank you for clearing my stupidity.

[manic torrent]

"future proofing" implies spending far more than you need to now, vs spending a reasonable amount now, and in a few years, and getting better average performance

[dull vigil]

true because i hate those people who think they need 126gb of ram becuase 🤓 erm in 2 years the bare mimium will be 126gb of ram

[grim belfry]

Realistically 2USD per day is pretty realistic considering they say they won't use it much

[dusky glade]

Wasn't particularly a comparison on my end but comparing the GPUs isnt fair yes.

[manic torrent]

now you're getting it 🙂

[dull vigil]

yepie i am finally becoming part of the pc master race and getting rid of my console master race

[golden talon]

based people enjoy both

[willow horizon]

wsp all

[vapid smelt]

"free"

[fair estuary]

what would be a reasonable amount of ram just now? casuse i currently have 32gb and even that seems not enough

[grim belfry]

GPUs aren't included in any free tiers due to abuse

[supple pawn]

Steam Deck is the future

[vapid smelt]

damn

[willow horizon]

depends on what you're playing tbh

[dull vigil]

16gb is fine but 32gb of ddr5 6400mgz id the sweet spot

[vapid smelt]

ah

[supple pawn]

I got 64 gb, is pretty much overkill for everything

[dull vigil]

... i am still on 16gb lol

[fair estuary]

currently only have this open and im using 16GB

[willow horizon]

i was just saying those who are more budget minded, look at what the games you play recommend and go off of that

[manic torrent]

16gb is enough for 99% of everyone, 32gb is plenty for the rest, 64gb+ is niche

[dull vigil]

also whats yall thought on the m2 macbook 16gb just a random question

[supple pawn]

What the heck are you running? Lol

[harsh quartz]

I had like 8 chrome tabs open the other day and someone told me to “close those or id run out of memory” when I was on a 16gb system :p

[shut birch]

32GB 3600MHz should be enough for me

[willow horizon]

im on AM4 arch and im running 32gb of 3200MHz CL16

[dull vigil]

probably chrome lol

[grim belfry]

Edge

Lots of Edge

[supple pawn]

https://tenor.com/view/why-oh-god-why-oh-god-dana-carvey-saturday-night-live-gif-11036625

[dull vigil]

who runs edge

[grim belfry]

It’s the best browser for me

[willow horizon]

oh no bruh 😭

[supple pawn]

Why not Librewolf?

[grim belfry]

Ew

[willow horizon]

i was using chrome then i hopped on the opera train

[grim belfry]

No IE mode, no sync

Probably no vertical tabs

Also Firefox is ew

[harsh quartz]

Firefox eats a stupid amount of ram

[shut birch]

edge and chrome is fine tbh

brave is laggy and weird

[grim belfry]

Firefox is horrible

[shut birch]

but for linux seems fine

[harsh quartz]

Firefox would be substantially less bad if YouTube didn’t make it a headache to use

[dull vigil]

Safari on top

[fair estuary]

thats whats eating all my ram rn

i still cant decide on a browser. i just use firefox since edge is ew.

[fresh sandal]

I just got some money to spend on a couple of PC parts. This will be my first "real" build. The computer I have now is just an office computer I slapped a GPU in. So if any of have helpful tips Id love to hear

[frosty quartz]

looks like edge it is

[vapid smelt]

[frosty quartz]

i thought edge sends more data about me to windows, since its stock

[vapid smelt]

wait like 1-3 more months for next gen gpus

[frosty quartz]

they probably still send your data out..

firefox uses more ram or cpu?

[grim belfry]

You are using Discord, it is a lost cause

You are using the internet, it is a lost cause.

[frosty quartz]

just learned that task manager and resource monitors be showing you stuff.. lolsies

[frosty quartz]

discord sells my words to windwos?

[grim belfry]

Nobody sells your anything to Windows

Windows is a product, not an organisation

[valid anvil]

not pc related but what desk should i get?

[frosty quartz]

a desk that is big enough, but wont over crowd your room.

top lime.. I have 3 tabs open on firefox. Task Manager says i have 22 firefoxes open..

This is creepy, im nuking my OS now.

[stark basin]

Turn your entire room into a desk

[valid anvil]

does it support monitor arms?

[vapid smelt]

yes its a solid wood top

unlike cardboard and saw dust ikea

[valid anvil]

oo i might get it then thanks

yeaaa right now i have the micke desk its annoying only having one spot to moun the monitor

[vapid smelt]

[valid anvil]

yea....

any idea on how the cable management is for that desk?

[frosty quartz]

I was about to click on that wiping pc protocol, but the bot deleted it.

[vapid smelt]

its a metal and wood work bench so you could use the ltt magnet ones

[frosty quartz]

microsoft edge also has like 10 times as many tabs open on task manager, than i actually have open. Ig it really is all that background processing chinanigans

[valid anvil]

oh i c i c

$15 sounds like alot....

[wary phoenix]

is gettin there

[valid anvil]

shoot what if i said the depth is little too big for my liking

[vapid smelt]

2 feet is too much?

[valid anvil]

yea my room is kinda small

the space between my bed and desk is roughly 25.5inches (desk being 20inch

i was considering rearranging my room but then i already have my shelve in the wall above my desk lol

[vapid smelt]

i had like 5 over 3 hours

[keen cedar]

Did I stutter

[granite tinsel]

wait wtf do you mean sony stopped making blu-ray players, they made the fucking standard 💀

[keen cedar]

No profit

[vapid smelt]

they stoped making disk version of the ps5?!

[keen cedar]

Why make em

That’s a dvd player

[vapid smelt]

and blue bb

[granite tinsel]

PS5's with disc drives do take UHD blu-rays

[wet pebble]

does anyone know of a community where one might be able to get help with difficulties converting a drive from mbr to gpt? kinda at my wit's end with this particular issue, I keep running into the same errors and don't know what to do

[pallid falcon]

#1027757333117415424 ?

[manic torrent]

... Nobody makes VHS players anymore either.

[granite tinsel]

yeah but VHS had another physical format as its successor

[vapid smelt]

but they still make record players

[steel marsh]

blu ray has 4k blu ray

[vapid smelt]

2010 Lexus SC430 had a cassette player

[sharp ferry]

Hello chat, What do y’all talk about all day

[vapid smelt]

women

[steel marsh]

the last production car, fitted with one

[granite tinsel]

no but that's the thing, blu-ray and UHD blu-ray players

really the two are extremely similar

[steel marsh]

im pretty sure pioneer make players dont they

[granite tinsel]

i think so, panasonic too

[wet pebble]

fingers crossed

[sharp ferry]

Next you’ll say, usb 2 and usb 3 are similar

(/j)

[manic torrent]

.... They aren't selling Blu rays anymore. There is no demand

I'm not saying it's good - it just is.

[granite tinsel]

no i get that

[steel marsh]

the only demand for blu rays is the collectors market with botique film labels and such

[manic torrent]

Meanwhile, I went all in on streaming some years ago and sold my server/storage array...... I just bought a 24 bay SAS jbod. You can infer the rest.

[sharp ferry]

There is still at least some demand for BDs

[granite tinsel]

not enough for LG, samsung, and sony to justify sticking around tho apparently

[manic torrent]

Yes, but not enough

[steel marsh]

It makes sense if your audience is collectors

[granite tinsel]

idek what that is

[sharp ferry]

I wonder what happens when streaming dies

[steel marsh]

people who buy criterions, arrow films, vinegar syndrome and their sub labels, its a niche market

[granite tinsel]

I Believe We Should Be Allowed To Own Things

[steel marsh]

a niche market that people will pay allot of money for releases and boxsets for

[sharp ferry]

That’s an anti capitalist mindset im going to have to report you to the thought police

[vapid smelt]

id rather own a downloadable copy of a movie over a blue ray disk

[sharp ferry]

You can just rip a bd

[steel marsh]

for me, it depends

[sharp ferry]

Higher quality than a download version

[granite tinsel]

but you can't trust these companies to honour your ownership of your digital items

look at what sony did

[vapid smelt]

nas

and cloud storage with it

[sharp ferry]

Not everyone can afford a nas

[granite tinsel]

better hope you can download it then

[manic torrent]

A device that allows me to use 24 hard drives. So I can store many Linux ISOs and not pay 15 different fucking subscriptions

[vapid smelt]

$60 dell optiplex and a used 12tb drive for $80

[granite tinsel]

jesus

[manic torrent]

If you can afford Blu rays, you can afford a nas 🙂

[sharp ferry]

I tried using Linux once

Bricked my os twice then gave up

[manic torrent]

Me too

[pallid falcon]

linux is ok but tbh not really for end users

[manic torrent]

That was over 25 years ago

[granite tinsel]

nah it still is pretty rough as an end user

[manic torrent]

End users yes, normies no.

[hybrid vector]

Where can I get a wifi card in store idc if it’s pcie or usb

[sharp ferry]

I did get a Samsung laptop for $160 because of a price error and that has windows so I’m probably going to stay on windows for now

[granite tinsel]

everything looks like it works on the surface but then you get one error and ask for help and someone talks to you like you know every single filepath in the entire OS already

[sharp ferry]

Maybe valve will save us with steam os

[manic torrent]

Skill issue

[vapid smelt]

google already saved us with chrome os

[granite tinsel]

you can't just say "skill issue" to the 80% of windows users and expect them to switch to linux

[sharp ferry]

“How dare you not know that this specific command doesn’t work and you need to use this command but only when you move this file here”

[manic torrent]

I don't expect them to switch

[covert cradle]

Sure can

[slow grotto]

I won't be switching

[granite tinsel]

this is why i got a mac

[grim belfry]

Blurays are so expensive

They used to be like $80 for 2

[manic torrent]

Full normcore

[sharp ferry]

Who buys new bds?

You can find many at $8 or lower

[steel marsh]

collectors as ive said

but they buy from botique labels and shit

[granite tinsel]

don't care, i don't have to spend half my day troubleshooting on google

[grim belfry]

Lots of people

Enough for production to continue

[sharp ferry]

Well I only buy new bds on shows I like..
And anime since those never lower in price

Unless they are from sentai

[manic torrent]

...... Yeah. You buy second hand stuff and complain they stop making new ones?!

[sharp ferry]

Ironically I don’t really buy second hand

[manic torrent]

I use Linux every day... Works fine for me

[sharp ferry]

I guess in a collector

[grim belfry]

So you buy them new...

[steel marsh]

also allot of shot on video films are getting blu ray releases now

[granite tinsel]

well then sorry your favourite OS is a dice roll on usability

[sharp ferry]

Who am I but someone who complains about people who act like me

[pallid falcon]

I didn't say it was my favourite

I genuinely don't give a shit what OS you use

LOL

[grim belfry]

You can't say Windows is not a roll of the dice lmao

[manic torrent]

Nono, they use mac

[civic fox]

👀

[granite tinsel]

honestly i don't either as long as you hate windows 11

[manic torrent]

Which we all know never has any issues ever.

[grim belfry]

I ❤️ Windows 11

[manic torrent]

Hating windows 11 is just being an edgy idiot

[pallid falcon]

I hated windows 11 on launch but after all the updates it's ok

[steel marsh]

or that one guy who was like i want win 12 to fail for some fucking reason

[manic torrent]

"oh no windows 11 is like windows 10 but more updated and a bit different, I hate it"

[civic fox]

I personally don't like windows but I just use Linux to get my shit done and it works good use whatever floats your boat

[bitter harbor]

I hate to ram usage on win 11

[long briar]

kek broke

[granite tinsel]

sorry but i don't like an OS that tries to gaslight me into using AI and edge

[manic torrent]

You don't understand the ram usage on windows 11

[long briar]

Edge is great, I haven't seen a single AI popup on my desktop

[civic fox]

Unused ram is wasted ram use all of it

[grim belfry]

Edge is fantastic

Yummy

[pallid falcon]

edge is my go to on desktop, chrome on mobile.

[manic torrent]

I use edge for all my edging

[long briar]

I have chrome on mobile only it seems to work better with my pixel

[civic fox]

I use Firefox on my phone and zen on my laptop and desktop

[grim belfry]

I use Edge on Linux

[pallid falcon]

my open programs rn :3

[bitter harbor]

Using 8 gigs at any given time is a war crime by windows

[civic fox]

I never understood why it does that

[granite tinsel]

see there's a subtle difference between how apple and microsoft make you use their services
apple just doesn't give you the choice if they can help it, and they make sure their apps and services are actually worth using
microsoft:

I say again, you don't understand it.

[grim belfry]

Yummy Microsoft

[sharp ferry]

History says windows 12 will be good

[pallid falcon]

yumme exel

[long briar]

it's actually using almost all of it at any time

[manic torrent]

Windows 11 isn't windows 11, it's just windows 10 with a coat of paint.

[steel marsh]

i do think the guy wanting win 12 to fail was bloody stupid

[granite tinsel]

i hope windows 12 is better

[sharp ferry]

Yet they somehow still found a way to mess up amd support

[steel marsh]

what

[grim belfry]

[long briar]

You mean... AMD managed to break AMD support?

[sharp ferry]

Didn’t a windows update make amd performance skyrocket?

[manic torrent]

How. What does "better" mean

[grim belfry]

Better!

[pallid falcon]

[grim belfry]

More gooder-er!

[manic torrent]

I need to go to the post office. I don't want to. Fuck those assholes.

[grim belfry]

LPOs are (usually) HEEAAPPS better

They actually care

[long briar]

lol imagine... Canada Post has been on strike for almost a month now?

[granite tinsel]

sure have been

[grim belfry]

Good on em

[granite tinsel]

impressed at corporate's willingness to fuck ordinary canadians over right during the holiday season

[long briar]

ohhh yea.

[manic torrent]

And it's for my SFF-8088 cable. Disks and chassis arriving tomorrow. Controller arrived today.

[granite tinsel]

they think it's going to turn canadians against the strike but it isn't; it's getting them more pissed at corporate

[long briar]

at least dbrand uses purolator and they don't care about direct shipments within the country

That'd actually he a interesting business idea

Is it okay to use prebuilt-pc Like HP, DELL, Lenovo etc. from older generation for coding, and/or computing?

[flat fox]

imo hell no, but im not an "expert"

"to use" fine

"to buy" no

[wintry robin]

Since I got it for free...

[flat fox]

free is always good

id say you cannot go wrong with free

even if its a laptop from the 2000s

that can become a homeserver

Can you use a decade old machine to do stuff? Sure. Will it be good enough? Maybe.

@vapid smelt by anychance is tehre a workbench that isnt like a light wood color? preferably darker or black?

[vapid smelt]

just paint or stain it, its real wood so you can doe whatever with it

[valid anvil]

is it hard?

dont want to ruin it...

[young obsidian]

Hi!

[vapid smelt]

nope

i did it at age 13 in school

[valid anvil]

i c i c

how many times would i have to stain to make it dark

[vapid smelt]

once or twice

[valid anvil]

i just paint it and wait?

[vapid smelt]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Nqt_2eRbhc

[valid anvil]

actually ill just watch a video

[vapid smelt]

you should sand it before

[valid anvil]

the worst part damn

what sucks is that its a big piece of wood lol

[vapid smelt]

make it faster also form homedepot your one stop shop for the whole desk! the work bench stain and sander/paper

[valid anvil]

oooo

then return it the next day smart smart

maybe same day

[vapid smelt]

or keep it but yeah

[valid anvil]

eh i dont see why i would need to keep it tbh

bought a power drill to take apart my old bed frame plan to return it soon

or keep it for the desk...

[undone moon]

ji

[vapid smelt]

but stain is super simple to use much easier then paint

[valid anvil]

yea also keeps the wood pattern so its nice so ill stain

oh i need to top coat it

[bold echo]

I'm looking into getting 1 or 2 monitors to pair with my laptop as an upgrade from just using the laptop display. Ideally I want 4k 27" displays at a price of around 200 eur each. The biggest requirements would be usb-c, daisy chain, and 99-100% sRGB so colors aren't too different to my laptop. Any suggestions?

also I won't use them for gaming, as they are mostly for office

[safe hinge]

hello

go to a tech chat or tech support or something probably

[sharp lynx]

[bold echo]

oh okay

[atomic cedar]

hi!

[sharp lynx]

hiii

[wild lily]

hi

[solemn atlas]

hi

[manic torrent]

I would also get monitor arms. Daisy chaining is not very common - you are probably better off with a dock

Doesn't have to be USB C then either.

I haven't looked at 4k27 prices lately but my gut is that you're a little light for 4k, and those are more like 1440p prices.

[bold echo]

last time I checked there are a few monitors around that price, if they are good or not that I don't know

That's my work setup - thunderbolt hub with two USB C to display port cables

[fleet vapor]

1000% better off with a doc

[atomic gull]

I would just get a usb mic tbh

And low impedance headphones

Or is it for music?

[manic ivy]

Yeah

Plugging my guitar in

And I thought that i might as well get an xlr mic since I’m getting an interface

[atomic gull]

Oh okay. I would just probably get a certified refurbished scarlett interface for similar price

[manic torrent]

Looks good to me. Also cheap af

[manic ivy]

That’s the goal 😂

[manic ivy]

U said you would recommend low impedance headphones could you give me some examples?

[atomic gull]

I didn’t realize it was for music

[manic ivy]

Oh

[atomic gull]

That’s a good starter kit, I would just swap the interface to a refurbished scarlett

[manic ivy]

Theres a solo 3rd gen for 89 euros is that well priced?

Brand new

[atomic gull]

That would be solid

it’s fine don’t worry about dat

[full fossil]

I also have a machine with 2x A100’s but it has an ARM CPU so I can’t use my regular compute libraris

take the a100 out

so there is absolutely no benefits by having all AMD parts?

We have like, racks of DGX’s and H100’s

[vital oak]

what’s the most expensive shit you got….

well fair enough then

[keen steeple]

damn

[full fossil]

The known ones are the stacks of H100’s

[vital oak]

known

[full fossil]

The I personally use is the 7 DGX-1’s with 8x V100’s

[spiral path]

no custom fpga's?

[vital oak]

Fear

[spiral path]

wow, fastest takeback ever

[full fossil]

No. We’re Nvidia fan and we’re making sure that our compute is inaccessible for other people.

Decentralized compute? Democratic AI? Lmao fuck no.

[spiral path]

custom hardware makes things truly one of a kind

[full fossil]

And you need to write more shit for it

[spiral path]

hell yeah... that's why it's "custom" lol

[full fossil]

I mean the lab is very close to the place that can fab those chips for us but would spend more time making it than doing work.

[spiral path]

best part is that the hardware maps can be made into cheap chips later

[full fossil]

Or just buy GPU’s.

[solid comet]

I have herd that if you have AMD cpu and gpu, AMDs smart access memory boosts performance. software manages cpu and gpu better. is this just bull shit?

[spiral path]

then why don't their gaming machines smoke the competition?

[dusky jacinth]

Sounds like some hardware exclusivity thing and such, which... Doesn't exactly exist, unless we talk Intel in terms of pairing their cpus with their own gpus.

[full fossil]

I’ll ask if I can access the H100 for my PhD lmao

But if my research can be done on a single 16 GPU, that would be great

If not then I’ll just buy 5090 and stick with it, forever.

[dusky jacinth]

Their cpus do (current ones anyway), their gpus on the other hand it depends so not really.

[full fossil]

And ever. And ever. And ever.

[full fossil]

its bad

in some scenarios u get fps boost

majority of the time u get less fps with it enabled

depending on ur card obviously

[spiral path]

the most expensive options usually yield better results

[full fossil]

My 8x V100’s can’t game.

[solid comet]

🤣 can see that, thanks for the info👍

[dusky jacinth]

It also depends on what you do and what you play, as well as what you normally expect.

[spiral path]

most games not setup with software to process on cards that can't output the results

[spiral path]

there is a work around for the output... lol

but again most games aren't going to be able to use more than one of them because of software limitations

[full fossil]

But yeah. I’ll probably buy a 5090 in the future.

Unless if I can get access to the H100

[spiral path]

well this has been a rather interesting conversation... thanks for the nostalgia

[full fossil]

And unlike some people

The 5090 will be abused significantly.

[keen gorge]

Got my mystery screwdriver and turned out to be the color way I was considering getting

[full fossil]

I’ll probably build a dual system build. One for gaming and one for server purposes.

Or maybe just dual boot it and run tailscale so I can work in it with my mac

• doesn’t make me go to windows and game all day.

Fuck it dual system.

Kinda leaning towards 5080 and some random accelerator card tho

That’s also my concern

I’ll probably create a dual system build

We have a gaming only system and AI experimentation system

The ML server probably have a A100 in it for fun

[karmic roost]

Hi guys

[full fossil]

The windows PC is 100% going to be a living room PC

Or A6000 48GB

If I run the A6000 I don’t need to block the card.

Priced about the same too.

[wintry robin]

What is SD stand for?

Oh

That remind me a project to generate protein structure by using protein sequence

And the algorithm that I gonna use is this one

[golden talon]

Ooh same

Our has 8 x H100 in it

XE9680 poweredge

[wintry robin]

However, I don't know how to encode the 3D structure of protein into gridbox system

[golden talon]

workstation has dual RTX 6000 Ada

[wintry robin]

I want that!!

[golden talon]

I love dell emc

[full fossil]

I think that’s the one we run.

[golden talon]

ooh nice, H100s or MI300X?

[full fossil]

I’ll probably build an all AMD gaming system and a A6000 server.

[full fossil]

H100’s. We are Nvidia shill.

[golden talon]

Fire. What cpu?

[full fossil]

We have 7x8x V100’s, A100 clusters, and H100’s. But the H100’s are out of my paygrade so I can’t use it.

The 56 V100’s are running Xeon 2698’s. Its a DGX-1 system.

The A100 runs Ampere 80 core

The H100’s are unknown to me. But it must be a dell system because the jump server is a dell system.

[golden talon]

Oh i avoid any prev gen hardware, just feels bad to use after H100

I’m tryna get my hands on some H200s before B100

[wintry robin]

Hmmm

Custom build server?

[full fossil]

The prev gen hardware is pretty much free use for everyone

[golden talon]

No just another poweredge spec. But they can’t get it bc of stock supposedly

[full fossil]

Including the 1.3Pb storage

[golden talon]

Word got out that nvidia is having trouble with blackwell production so everyone is clamoring for H100s/H200s

[full fossil]

Yep

And my contact explicitly said H100s.

We have racks of them probably.

[wintry robin]

Another thing that I really want to do is using such hardware to do computational chemistry

Like calculate DFT on graphene

[golden talon]

the company i work for has like 25000 H100s or something lol

[full fossil]

Personally for my private server I’ll run a RTX A6000 for fun.

[golden talon]

I recommend a RTX 6000 Ada for that

[wintry robin]

Me either if I had that one

[golden talon]

i take it you’d be simulating protein folds and stuff?

[full fossil]

When you’re democratizing GPU’s for compute and your final enemy is a guy with weeb pfp on discord with 25k H100’s

[golden talon]

the funny thing is the company i work for also is democratizing GPUs for compute

[wintry robin]

Both AI and classical Computational chem stuff

[full fossil]

Mine’s not. Its all under closed doors

[golden talon]

damn

[full fossil]

Nobody except people who are lucky enough is able to use it.

One of them is me thus creating an unequal computation level in my lab.

[wintry robin]

Whoa

[full fossil]

Like my lab’s compute is pretty much summed like this

[golden talon]

Have you looked into clouds like TensorDock?

[wintry robin]

Never heard it before

[golden talon]

I hear they have H100s for as low as $2 per hour

[wintry robin]

Can you send me the paper?

[golden talon]

RTX 4090s for $0.30 per hour

[full fossil]

GTX 1080Ti, 1080Ti, GTX Titan Black, RTX 3090, Radeon 7, 8x V100’s, RTX 4090

[wintry robin]

Or src

[full fossil]

Its a cloud compute rent

[golden talon]

Pay them a visit, Tensordock.com everything you need to see is on there

[full fossil]

Or lambdalabs

[golden talon]

it’s great for your kinda application

[full fossil]

Personally if you’re a hobbyist, get a cloud

If you’re researching, get on-demand

[wintry robin]

I was PhD student in computational chemistry before

But now I was retired by got a bad grade

Well I interested in PINN (Physic Informed Neural Network)

[full fossil]

If only Caselabs makes a dual system case

[golden talon]

Lian li made one in the form of the V3000+

[wintry robin]

And about coding DFT to run on GPU or TPU

[wispy marsh]

T.G.I.F!

[golden talon]

i bought one, used it for a couple months and gave it away

[full fossil]

I’ll probably have 2 separate cases

[golden talon]

thank gods its thursday

[full fossil]

Like the server is inside fractal design and the gaming PC is inside some nice minimalistic case
