[remote swallow]

i find i am much less cluttered with 2 monitos than with 4 simply because i learned window management

[solar sable]

i will be right back with a new 3 monitor setup thenn

[restive plinth]

Can you enable action centre on both monitors now? It used to be available only on your main one like a few years back. I haven't had a dual monitor setup in a long time

[solar sable]

lemme get to desighning

[median warren]

Tbh I haven't tried but I'd imagine yes, I'd be surprised if they haven't changed that

[median warren]

Just remove the right one and put a pc there, done

[restive plinth]

Hot take
Window management is better using a trackpad than keyboard and mouse

[remote swallow]

i don't like my pc on my desk

[median warren]

How come

[remote swallow]

clutter

i don't care for the looks and all of a PC, i want an invisible box

[restive plinth]

Ahh alright
Multiple wallpapers exist if I'm not wrong. Next what we need is monitor specific workspace. That would be amazing for productivity

[median warren]

You should go microatx

[torn vector]

I mean it is from a quite big brand

[remote swallow]

my next build is already planned for when i move out and i plan on mini-itx and hanging it under my desk

[median warren]

You sure you're committed enough to put screws in your desk

[remote swallow]

my entire desk is full of screws fam LOL

[median warren]

Lmao

[remote swallow]

my tabletop is a 50 euro one from ikea

[median warren]

My desk is made of solid wood, like dead trees

I don't wanna put screws in it because it would hurt my soul

It's such a nice desk

[remote swallow]

the frame is from uhh shit i forgot the name

flexispot

[median warren]

Oh yeah

[remote swallow]

i got one of the electrical frames mad cheap i think i paid like 80 euro

it's good enough for what i use it for

but all the controls are already screwed into my table top so

[deep cosmos]

oh nice that's sick! 😄
I also really one day want to set up my own home security. All selfhosted with local storage with two sites and the only cloud part being my own VPS 🙂
Again thanks for the tips. I'll try to look into Grafana and Prometheus and from there see if I need anything else

[restive plinth]

I doubt it's an OS issue tbh

[remote swallow]

it's probably a keyboard issue

[solar sable]

what do you all think now

[remote swallow]

why is there just a singular speaker??? 😭

[restive plinth]

Uhhh

Check out #1019713714968088586 for some inspiration and realistic ideas

[solar sable]

im a headsphone guy, ill just use a speaker like only in some cases so that will do

[rigid fjord]

grab a desk pad instead of a mouse pad

[solar sable]

@remote swallow

[solar sable]

ight

[remote swallow]

mate u can't just have a singular speaker fam

[restive plinth]

do ik you from somewhere

[solar sable]

you from kerala right

[remote swallow]

im actually crying

[solar sable]

why

[remote swallow]

because it's funny to me

[solar sable]

its js bluetooth gng

[restive plinth]

I am but randomly calling me that made me more confused lmao

[remote swallow]

UITS BLUETOOTH!M

[restive plinth]

I hope no one tries to translate this and thinks bad things 👍

[solar sable]

i just wanted to let im too 😭 srry machu

[stark flicker]

I have nothing in the cloud and for the reliability I have 2 friends that have their servers and we have wireguard tunnels to access each other and cross backups

[rigid fjord]

meanwhile could use home theatre speakers instead

[restive plinth]

Lmaoo Yeahh no worries. Everything's chill

[solar sable]

ight

[restive plinth]

But one thing that's not chill
Is having 1 speaker

[solar sable]

bro friend aakku

[remote swallow]

1. do not use a SINGULAR speaker
2. either have 2 of the same monitors in them iddle because the gap is weird between the 3rd monitor
3. get a bigger mousepad or deskpad
4. no way to get the bottom monitor further of the table? ur gonna have neck strain

[restive plinth]

I don't check dms at all tbh soo we can chat here instead

[solar sable]

blutooth speaker im looking at gng

[solar sable]

aightt

[remote swallow]

that is so much worse man

[restive plinth]

Why though
You'll get amazing speakers for a really low price. And they're wayyy better than any bt speaker

[ivory mountain]

Bt speaker on a stationary desktop setup

[fallow yacht]

i would be excited too if i bought one online

[deep cosmos]

Oh so is it like site to site vpn using the server as a relay?

[stark flicker]

well yeah kind of

[boreal vine]

yeah totally not expensive

12900k RX6800 PC, Aourus f1271-x, KG271u, Wacom One pen display

peripheral changes almost everytime

[solar sable]

yo guyyyssss

what about noww

[boreal vine]

but the keyboard I usually use is the Wuque Studio Freya Valhalla

[cold skiff]

Please stop

This generic graphic crap is just cringe

[solar sable]

@remote swallow

@restive plinth

[solar sable]

wtfdym

[boreal vine]

For mice, depends really, mostly I'll be using AS r5 pro, apple magic mouse or g304

[solar sable]

what purpose do you use apple magic mouse

[rigid fjord]

g304, the asian version of the g305

[stark flicker]

just use one 4k 32" 240Hz oled monitor like the chad you are and go next

[restive plinth]

Why are you trying to design it like this btw
It almost never works out good when you do that

[solar sable]

dude i also love a minimalistic setup but im a twitch streamer

i really need 2 monitors

[restive plinth]

See what your use case is
See how you can set it up

And then go towards it. Look at #1019713714968088586 for some existing setups to see how you can do it.

You won't be able to do everything in one day. You might need some extra components but still these graphics stuff doesn't help you

[stark flicker]

don't put a 21:9 vertically

and dual screen with already one 21:9 is pain in my opinion

[solar sable]

its the best when it comes to chat reading and yk

[boreal vine]

because

[stark flicker]

lol yeah best to get a torticollis sure

[solar sable]

oh😭

i thought you added a magic mouse to your desk setup

[boreal vine]

the macbook is in the desk setup

as my other computer

/ wfh

that's why I've got the freya, I can just swap the OS and what's it connected to

[solar sable]

oh it now makes sence

[fallow yacht]

tf is a freya

nvm i backread

[west plaza]

Hello
I am working on this project and would appreciate some advice
I need a rod to rotate around a center point
Instead of having a pin balancing the rod
I would like something more stable, something like a bearing
I'm currently a high school student and not really familiar with mechnical engeriing
so not sure what kind of tool would be best for this

[solar sable]

dude😭

[fallow yacht]

what are u tryna even make bro

[west plaza]

This is for a physics assigment

[fallow yacht]

about balance correct?

[west plaza]

Its related to acoustic propulsion

(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SfYvi9DWtaM)

[boreal vine]

bearing introduces static friction

it would probably be too much for the sound wave to overcome

[fallow yacht]

maybe try this? https://youtu.be/L5fVFA2sWt4

[boreal vine]

that's why those copper rods is hung on a very thin point

[fallow yacht]

assuming u have a spare lampshade

[west plaza]

I did try this but for me I found it difficult to balance

[remote swallow]

been trying out plezy as of recently and prefer it so much over the normal plex client
prefer it a lot for my linux iso's

[fallow yacht]

how long is the stick

[median warren]

https://tenor.com/view/freya-god-of-war-gif-19428001

A really cool god of war character

[west plaza]

30cm ish

[fallow yacht]

either you make it longer or use smaller bottles

[boreal vine]

center punch into the rod

ez fix

[fallow yacht]

latter is easier :p

does ur prof require like any bottle size?

[fallow yacht]

DAMN i love that color scheme

[alpine heron]

Got it in the mail. It's a perfect fit, slightly tighter than is convenient to put in / take out but figure tiny bit of wear in will get it perfect

[boreal vine]

https://shop.wuquestudio.com/products/freya-ultraxvalhalla-collaboration-edition go get one

[median warren]

It's sold out

[fallow yacht]

thanks but i'm broke rn

[median warren]

Even if he wanted to get one he can't

[fallow yacht]

5 years before i can get an above min wage j*b

[boreal vine]

https://shop.wuquestudio.com/collections/in-stockfreya

[latent gull]

Tbf you can just put keycaps on a black keyboard to get that color scheme :p

[boreal vine]

I think there's some in stock

oh shit, never mind they're all gone

[latent gull]

What do you use the slider for?

[boreal vine]

https://tenor.com/view/south-park-its-gone-gif-4104229

[boreal vine]

i don't use the slider

[fallow yacht]

at first i thought it was custom

[boreal vine]

I use the xt column

[latent gull]

Aw the pine one is sick

[boreal vine]

you don't get keycaps and switches with it, and have to assemble whatever

[boreal vine]

try finding them on ebay

it's not hard to find, but I will admit it's not the easiest thing in the world to build

[latent gull]

I mean it looks nice but I’m not paying 500$ for a keyboard :p

I’ll find a different one with that color scheme if I really want one

[median warren]

@boreal vine Mr keyboard expert (this isn't an insult), what's your opinion on the keychron q5 max

[boreal vine]

https://tenor.com/view/meme-gif-926378147596635372

[boreal vine]

I'm not the right demographic to ask about keychron

[median warren]

500 dollars for a GPU or 500 for a keyboard, which one

[remote swallow]

keyboard

jk

[median warren]

Honestly if I would have thought about anyone it's you

[latent gull]

I’ve looked at that feker one again for a work keyboard, might buy one when my bday comes around

[median warren]

Good man

[fallow yacht]

find a 500 dollar gpu first

[remote swallow]

i own expensive keyboards, i own less expensive keyboards

[boreal vine]

keychron is for beginners

[median warren]

9060xt

[boreal vine]

also it's not 500

[remote swallow]

after the 250 euro mark i dont see the point nowadays

[boreal vine]

unless you're talking about that copper edition

[median warren]

No no I'm not saying it's 500, just asking about keychron

[boreal vine]

it's aight, they've got basic enthusiast stuff, but personally would get Neo boards

[latent gull]

I’ve got a keychron and it’s fine, I used different switches but I do regret not checking if it had 2.4g mode before I bought

[remote swallow]

^^ this

[boreal vine]

neo imo is better for beginners

[remote swallow]

my 1200$+ keeb is sitting in my drawers while my neo70 is my daily driver now

and i dont think i'll switch back to my more expensive builds anytime soon

[fallow yacht]

man was tryna joke abt the ram crisis

[median warren]

Not that it will make much of a difference as I've already bought it and I know keychron isn't bad, but just wanted to hear opinions, I bought a keychron q5 max for my mum

It's her birthday coming up and she types a lot

[fallow yacht]

memory

[remote swallow]

good

[median warren]

Like, 100 invoices in a day amount of typing

[remote swallow]

dont waste your money on the keyboard hobby

[latent gull]

Neos look fine but no 100% :(

[fallow yacht]

do you have a j*b or something /s

[median warren]

You've got a point, but tbh it's not that bad of a waste

It's much worse for people who waste it on Pokémon cards

[latent gull]

Yes and I enjoy my keypad

[remote swallow]

at least the pokemon cards have a resale value

[boreal vine]

Tell me about it

[remote swallow]

i feel your pain LOL

[boreal vine]

after cloudline i'm done buying boards to be honest

[median warren]

That's also a reason I went with a Q5 max, my mum needs a numpad, like NEEDS one

[fallow yacht]

ssing it rn

[median warren]

And I heard it's amazing for typing

[remote swallow]

its funny how after my neo70 which was one of my cheapest builds i just can't be bothered using any other keyboard

[median warren]

Got gateron browns tho, wanted banana but they only had browns in stock

[remote swallow]

tbf i have also been using the same switches for years and refuse to change them

[boreal vine]

I have the TKD C7

same FRL layout

[remote swallow]

i had a cycle7 on pre-order and cancelled it for the neo

[boreal vine]

but these days i use the freya

[latent gull]

I need a numpad and wanted an ergo layout so I got their Alice layout Q 98 keyboard and it’s nice, only gripe is it doesn’t have a 2.4g dongle

[boreal vine]

I don't really own neo boards, but I might be buying a neo ergo soon

[remote swallow]

honestly my neo board has been flawless

[latent gull]

The Neo ergo looks nice

[boreal vine]

as my work daily driver

[remote swallow]

it has genuinely destroyed any interested in more expensive boards

[boreal vine]

someone's selling an avocado unit to me for cheap

[median warren]

Talking about ergo, I got her a new mouse as well, Logitech mx4 master

She's actually gonna have the most cracked work setup ever

[boreal vine]

that's fair, I like expensive boards because of the cool details and heritage they can have

[fallow yacht]

are wooting boards relevant in 2026

[latent gull]

Don’t buy a keychron ergo mouse. I hate it. I do quite like my Logitech mx vertical

[boreal vine]

think of it like driving a civic vs a porsche to get your groceries

[remote swallow]

thats fair

but then again i've been on the same switches for years so my exploration in the hobby died as well

[median warren]

Yeah dw I didn't, I don't think she'd like the vertical mouse so just got the mx4 master

[boreal vine]

I do fucking hate hypebeast boards like the daji though

[remote swallow]

i recently switched keycap profiles and have been enjoying that

[boreal vine]

and most of SKMX early run units back in 2010

[remote swallow]

but besides that nothing new for me

[fickle valley]

Lol

[fallow yacht]

y

[remote swallow]

PBS has been a surprisingly nice keycap profile

[latent gull]

I had a coworker that didn’t like ergo but still enjoyed his mx4

[boreal vine]

heard nice things about but I personally like taller profiles myself like SA or mt3

[remote swallow]

yeah for me the opposite haha

what switches you running right now?

[median warren]

Yeah tbh I hope she likes them but if she doesn't I can always return it, her birthday is on may 9th so it'll be in time for her to try and return if need be

[spring latch]

who knew math could discriminate against people of color

[latent gull]

Always the best option

[boreal vine]

this very moment, I'm running momoka pink flamingo, but i normally use MX Blacks LFSS

[fallow yacht]

"ignore previous instructions"

[remote swallow]

nice, i've got loads of different switches but i always return to my true love the Boba U4T silents

[median warren]

yes although I wonder, can I customise the RGB from a website as she doesn't mind lighting on a keyboard and if anything she finds it helpful but she hates coloured lighting and wants it white

[boreal vine]

I'm going to get some day dreamers at some point

[spring latch]

nope, I finetuned it

[boreal vine]

I like nice sharp tactiles and having a silent version would be good

[remote swallow]

yeah idk there is something about the boba's i just can't let go

i have 150 spares of the bobas incase one ever dies

[median warren]

If one days you can replace it 150 times

[fallow yacht]

skyworth 65 in tv don't boot anymore

can we just get a normal tv then an apple tv box

[remote swallow]

i have more switches than i could possible use \

i probably have individually about 2000 switches just laying around

[median warren]

Make one big ass keyboard, like one with 200 keys, and just have them do your own function

[fallow yacht]

who casually has 2k switches in their house

[median warren]

That guy

[remote swallow]

idiots like me who spend godly amounts of money on keyboards

and who have girlfriends who randomly buy them 300 glarses switches as a joke

[latent gull]

Aww it says they’re discontinued

[fallow yacht]

@remote swallow make one of these then sell em

[boreal vine]

only for them to crack your keycaps

[median warren]

You know how people flex with their cars and like "oh yeah we'll look at this", you just turn around with your fedora and sunglasses, and show off your fucking keyboard, I'm actually dyih

[remote swallow]

they're still in the bag LOL

i've never taken them out

[boreal vine]

https://tenor.com/view/kto-kounotoritoken-kounotori-lbow-storkholders-gif-25676349

[latent gull]

Uhhh I’m actually not sure, I’ll have to check, I haven’t fucked much with the settings after initial setup and I don’t remember the lighting settings

[remote swallow]

eva i know you're just as bad as me

[median warren]

I'll try and google it too

[boreal vine]

I'm worse I can promise you that

[remote swallow]

you've got more keyboards than me that's true

i've given most of my stuff away slowly

[fallow yacht]

i kinda want those keyboard switch fidgets (that's the only keyboard i can afford)

[remote swallow]

just building people keebs for their birthdays

[boreal vine]

I've done that recently, just don't really have use for them

[remote swallow]

i'll probably never switch from my boba u4t's

[boreal vine]

atleast for the weird chinese boards that I have + some kits

[boreal vine]

end game innit

[remote swallow]

it's my perfect switch because they feel like i'm typing on a membrane keyboard

and they're not scratchy

[boreal vine]

https://tenor.com/view/were-right-back-where-we-started-dr-jud-bellamin-the-mole-people-back-at-the-beginning-full-circle-gif-18789414

that's why I don't get people who shills topre

shit feels just like a normal membrane board that isn't turbo shit

[fallow yacht]

nvm u sent it

[boreal vine]

that's what topre is

[remote swallow]

topre is basically an overengineered switch

[fallow yacht]

is this just a more advanced version of those cheap ass gaming boards that are really just membrane

[boreal vine]

MX is this:

[boreal vine]

all that engineering and it took them 5k to release a board that doesn't sound like dogshit out of the box

[remote swallow]

this is true

[fallow yacht]

misread that as torpe 😭

[boreal vine]

seneca is such a fucking social experiment bruh

just to test how much people are willing to pay to be quirky and different

[fallow yacht]

now what is a seneca

[fallow yacht]

sounds like a normal custom keyboard to me

[remote swallow]

funny thing about the neo70, i dont use coiled cables anymore

bcs the usb-c is centered

[boreal vine]

neither do i, just takes so much space

[latent gull]

I see they have a u4 silent tactile, you know if those are any good ?

[boreal vine]

just use either a braided cable, or a CNC cable

[remote swallow]

i dont like the linear silents, so i'm biased and don't like them

[latent gull]

Silent tactile

[remote swallow]

tactile silents are way to go in my very biased opinion

[boreal vine]

same here, unless it's super long pole

but that kinda defeats the point of having a silent switch

[latent gull]

That’s what I’m asking about, is their silent tactile

[remote swallow]

yeah

[remote swallow]

normal u4 is linear, u4t (t = tactile) i'm pretty sure

there is a new one i'm pretty sure the V2

might have to give those a try

[latent gull]

Looks like they have both the linear and TZ tike

[boreal vine]

@latent gull try WS silent tactiles

[latent gull]

TZ tike?? Tactile

[boreal vine]

https://kineticlabs.com/blog/wuque-studios-silent-tactile-keyboard-switch-review

[remote swallow]

i had some and they were scratchy 😡

[latent gull]

They’re sold out unfortunately

[boreal vine]

i mean I i didn't mind it when i had mine

[remote swallow]

i'm pretty sensitive to the scratch noise

i get annoyed at it very quickly

[boreal vine]

then you're goign to have mx blacks

[remote swallow]

maybe had a bad batch tho who knows

[boreal vine]

I don't mind scratch now adays, but yeah it's idiotic if you don't appreciate that

crunchy switch innit

[latent gull]

ive been super happy with those lime silent tactiles you showed me around christmas. Im looking at building a second one for work and i might use the same switches, or try another kind just for variety.

[remote swallow]

my gf is currently using those uhh

vertex v1

[boreal vine]

yeah they're decent

I quite like them too

[remote swallow]

she liked the sound of them and i paid for it so, she's been very happy with her neo60 + vertex v1

[boreal vine]

I had them on the NK87 a while back

[remote swallow]

i have a box of them as well

i still do regret giving her one of my favourite keycap sets

@boreal vine are you for or against ABS keycaps

[median warren]

Automatic braking system?

It's very useful, I'm for it

[fallow yacht]

man we still on keyboards bru

[boreal vine]

Dont mind

[median warren]

https://tenor.com/view/brakes-slamming-on-the-brakes-trunk-stop-stopping-gif-11920252

This truck stopped because of abs

[red bluff]

Ok... technical question about printers. Just because they are SO cheap.
L14150, u$s200, apparently yellow is clogged (DTF Ink) (Unknown amount of prints)
L15150, u$s250, pigment ink, cyan and magente clogged. (10k prints)

Which one would you go for and why? (If you had to pick one)

[latent gull]

isnt ABS the antilock break system?

[median warren]

Tbh with modern cars it has 2 definitions

But yes that too, it is to stop your brakes from locking up

[latent gull]

ive only ever heard it used as antilock

[fallow yacht]

l14150 in that condition

[boreal vine]

yeah

[median warren]

But there's also ABS in modern like 2025+ cars that brake automatically for you

[remote swallow]

L15150 it'll be easier to fix and the unknown amount of prints is not a bet i'd take

[median warren]

Technically it's called something else tho

[fallow yacht]

why would it matter

[boreal vine]

sensors being a pain in the ass whenever i have to do anything related to the axle on my car

[remote swallow]

this is like asking why the amount of shots a camera has taken matters 😭

[median warren]

The more newer the car, the worst it is to work on it

[boreal vine]

I thought i needed new ABS sensors as my car was throwing the ABS light like gang signs

[fallow yacht]

metric fans when it's mileage not kilometerage

[boreal vine]

turns out it's just the ring around the CV Shaft being misaligned by a couple of mm

[red bluff]

Print from L15150 (left), and the dog is a print from the L14150 (right)

[median warren]

My car has had the check engine light on for over a year and throws up the glow plug error, we have swapped all the glow plugs multiple times and deleted the error, it just comes back

[boreal vine]

me when diesel

[fallow yacht]

this ain't mileage bro

[boreal vine]

https://tenor.com/view/homelander-disappointed-disgusting-disgusted-looking-gif-6561690286467128067

[median warren]

Hate modern cars

[red bluff]

Both look decent (not overly used). But they are so cheap. I'm reading the L15150 is like a HEAAAAVY use printer, so 10k prints must be really light.

[median warren]

Fuel efficiency

[boreal vine]

it's in a 2008 nissan POS so it's not modern by any means

[fallow yacht]

lemme guess an altima

[boreal vine]

smiles per gallon vs diesel

I want to hear my shitbox scream

[remote swallow]

mate i just ride a bike that thing just works

[median warren]

Oh right fair enough either way

[median warren]

Wdym?

I think my car gets around 55 miles per goal which ain't bad

[boreal vine]

Diesel engines, atleast here in the UK tends to sound like shit

[remote swallow]

shoutout my bike fam almost been stolen 3 times and i've fought tooth and nail for it

[latent gull]

last i heard that was one of the reasons it didnt catch on in the US

[median warren]

Yeah I'm in the UK, but I don't have the car for the sound, it's comfortable and good for long journeys (2014 Audi A4)

[fallow yacht]

the euro 7 ones or the old ones?

[median warren]

Euro 6 is the highest isn't it

[fallow yacht]

right yeah mb

[boreal vine]

that's fair

I just have mine to move from point a to be in a relatively fast manner

[fallow yacht]

euro 7 is proposed

[boreal vine]

I think last time I check I get about 46 MPG on my petrol 1.2 engine

speaking of which

[median warren]

Tbh I've considered getting a different car but I'll just stay with this until it dies and then get a new one

[fallow yacht]

old diesel engines unmuffled sound loud but pleasant somehow

i liked the sound of jeepneys

[boreal vine]

that POS is going to get a new clutch, a new CV axle and a full service so that I can ride around during the best time to drive where I live

[median warren]

Pos, point of sale

[boreal vine]

whole ass road, one way with no speed limit

[median warren]

That's all I can think of

[remote swallow]

piece of shizzle my nizzle

[vapid ibex]

Good morning

[fallow yacht]

good for u

[distant frigate]

Mmm laundry day

[median warren]

In the UK? You mean no speed cameras on some back ass road with the white circle and black line?

[distant frigate]

Washing machine at the bottom is 5 years old. Ngl it’s pretty good

[fallow yacht]

what do those generally mean

[distant frigate]

My mom got it in 2021

[remote swallow]

what in the fucking goo lagoon are you washing in there, is that spongebobs laundry?!

[median warren]

National highway speed limit applies, so 70mph but for roads like that it usually means 60

[boreal vine]

nope

you mainland cucks get fined if you even drive above 70 MPH

[remote swallow]

world is not safe when i get my license one day

[boreal vine]

I don't

https://tenor.com/view/meme-gif-926378147596635372

[median warren]

I don't cause I don't get caught

[remote swallow]

I mean why throw it away you know or donate it

[fallow yacht]

wonderful that it hasn't teared

[vapid ibex]

Quality shit

[latent gull]

i mean, overtakes you can typically do at about any speed, cruising at 130, much less so

[remote swallow]

gotta love the autobahn

[fallow yacht]

do y'all get like tolls there?

[boreal vine]

overtake a police and let me know how that works out for you

[distant frigate]

Actually it has kinda

[remote swallow]

no? 😭

[distant frigate]

The edges of the fabric is starting to tear

[fallow yacht]

oh

[remote swallow]

why would i get a toll for going on the autobahn chief??

[latent gull]

if im on a country highway and the cops not going fast enough i will absolutely

[fallow yacht]

well it's a highway soo i'd thought it would

but i then realized the point of no speed lims

[boreal vine]

wasn't it in nevada that they don't have speed limit? or am i thinking of something else

[latent gull]

but also im in the middle of bumfuck nowhere Tennessee, the only one i care about is the state trooper

i thikn they got rid of that a while back, afaik they all have speed limits, whether theyre enforced or not is another thing entirely

[latent gull]

cant wait to see this thing wrap around a pole

[remote swallow]

we used to have porsche 911's as police cars back in the day 😭

[fallow yacht]

fair.

[boreal vine]

that's because your police department was exciting back then

[median warren]

Fucking street legal race slicks as well

"legal"

[remote swallow]

i think currently they drive a BMW X1

[boreal vine]

anything goes if you're the police

[median warren]

@boreal vine meanwhile valenzuela with virgin byd

[distant frigate]

Top dryer is 15+ years old. Still works although there’s a squeaking sound when it starts up

[boreal vine]

tho it would be interesting to see if they're going to try and catch someone on the dunes with one of them

[distant frigate]

I think one of the rollers have gone bad

[boreal vine]

they're going to get some xc90 next probably

[remote swallow]

ours look boring as shit tbh

[boreal vine]

really common with police

[fallow yacht]

atleast compared to a fuckin toyota hilux it's an upgrade

[median warren]

You know, even when police are capable of doing high speeds they don't always, because they think of the risk and safety of civilians and people on the road so you can run from them if you have enough balls and can split lane

[remote swallow]

these are the new models they chose last year they wont be changing anytime soon

[fallow yacht]

is that city or national?

[remote swallow]

tf you mean city or national?

its just the police?? 😭

[fallow yacht]

...lol sorry

[median warren]

Usually if you can maintain 170mph+ for like 10 minutes not even the helicopter can keep up with you

[boreal vine]

that's true, I had a friend in the UK with a tuned polo GTI that outran cops in the motorway

[median warren]

Like you can run

[median warren]

Ye ye exactly

[boreal vine]

I think it's because they didn't really have a speed camera then

but I'm not sure now

[stark flicker]

Well non-American countries don't need freaking 500horsepowers because we don't really have any car chase lol

Only in the best third world country where criminality is rampant do you need those big cars for the police

[boreal vine]

tbf when I went to the UK to drive, I was bored out of my mind

I had to keep reminding myself to only drive 70 + the motorway is just so fucking boring to drive in

[latent gull]

jackson tn used to have a police camaro they.... siezed... from someone selling drugs in the area. They wrecked it last year :P

[median warren]

And probably they don't want to risk anything either, budgets, lives and etc

[remote swallow]

alot of dutch police cars are still a Mercedes-Benz E450d AMG which is still far too fast for my country fam

[glossy veldt]

bro why did i choose mechanical engineering exams are in july and it's already looking grim

[boreal vine]

atleast you have risks here if you fuck up, you're going to end up tumbling in the mountain, or having an impromptu makeout session with a tree or a lamp post

[stark flicker]

This is just to show off Mercedes lol

[remote swallow]

you fuck up here and all you end up in is a canal 😭

[boreal vine]

The tree demands a group hug

[remote swallow]

or a small ditch

[glossy veldt]

did i read this right

i'm argentine do you think there are grand thefts here

your worst robbery case will hapen on a fiat 500

[remote swallow]

dw idk what point he was making either

[glossy veldt]

and if you're lucky a volkswagen

[odd marsh]

bro whatttttttt

[glossy veldt]

most of argentina is rural so every cop is issued a 4x4 hilux truck

[stark flicker]

Third world country = the USA

Argentina is more developed than the USA bro
My step sister lives there, lovely country

[odd marsh]

actual insane logic

[boreal vine]

in argentina they would drive away in a cow

[glossy veldt]

you know there were cases where people were robbed in horses

[boreal vine]

you guys love ice cream so much over there it's crazy

[boreal vine]

won't be surprised

[shrewd timber]

Found this in an old box in my room

[glossy veldt]

really lovely thank you

[median warren]

@boreal vine there's a group of people in America with modified corvettes (like 1600hp capable of 250mph+), and they remain completely anonymous and really privacy focused, but all they do is ragebait cops and get into cop chases and then lose them, and post it on Instagram. Their cars are equipped with night vision cameras, black out button which turns off ALL the lights even inside, and also have radios to monitor the police radios, and have drones in the air to check for cops nearby

[boreal vine]

fucken robin hood ahh get away

[median warren]

They haven't been caught yet

[glossy veldt]

i can't believe yall rest of the world don't sell ice cream by the kilo?

[median warren]

They usually do it around 3/4am

[stark flicker]

i'd like to go there but the plane ticket is too expensive

[median warren]

And in different states

[boreal vine]

is that the group called silent or something?

[median warren]

Yesssss

[odd marsh]

the reason why we have big cars in the US is because it's a culture thing. The "American Dream" or macho men want these big tough cars to flex or to prove that they made it

[boreal vine]

yea I've seen them before

[glossy veldt]

in argentina citizens get mostly free healthcare and even without any insurance things aren't really expensive, like say not even 100 bucks to get your wisdom tooth removed

[median warren]

Really cool stuff, also playing with literal fire, imagine your entire brand and platform is based around ragebaiting the police lmao

[boreal vine]

fucking crazy, they even do a mod in their car that blinds people behind them and they fully black out so that they can't be seen

[fallow yacht]

also emission standards

[stark flicker]

also because in the US you can't do anything without a car so yeah

[median warren]

Yeah it's insane

I was PAID to go to college by the gov in france

[median warren]

France...

[remote swallow]

yeah they would need to pay me too to be in france

[stark flicker]

550eur/month + a small flat paid mostly by them

that's so cool

only thing all europeans can agree on is if we gotta nuke a country it's france

[boreal vine]

but then you'd have to live in france

they would also have to pay me to live in 'that'

[median warren]

Yep, I agree

[remote swallow]

UK is 2nd option for a nuke 😭

[median warren]

And don't give me no palit 5090, astral only

[remote swallow]

it's either get rid of the french or the british

[boreal vine]

imo india

[stark flicker]

only other thing we can agree on is that the only nukes in the european union are ... french 😉

And we love you so much we told you recently "our nukes are yours because our allies well being are as essential as ours"

[glossy veldt]

i get only basic benefits from studying like a discount on spotify, uhhhh, there are programs for low income households to get like 40 bucks monthly but that's really outdated, and there's free whatsitcalled public transport

we have nukes in my country buddy

[stark flicker]

Aren't you german ?

[remote swallow]

[glossy veldt]

we have llamas with machineguns

[glossy veldt]

i forgot

[remote swallow]

nukes are like top 5 most pointless things to have

[glossy veldt]

i completed the entrance exam in like october or november

[fallow yacht]

iirc vector is like when relative distance is accounted no?

[remote swallow]

luckily i live far above sea level

[median warren]

Do you live in the mountains

[remote swallow]

we do not have mountains we barely have hills mate 😭

[glossy veldt]

iirc a vector is a line that shows a displacement or something

[median warren]

😭

[odd marsh]

nah it's a quantity with both direction and magnitude

[remote swallow]

have you seen my country??? it looks like a fucking minecraft flat world

[median warren]

Why is your country a Minecraft flat map

[fallow yacht]

we're just waterbenders

[fallow yacht]

like when u travel 500m and go back 500m to the same point it's 0m

[stark flicker]

A vector is a 1xn or nx1 matrix

[glossy veldt]

so all vectors are matrices but not all matrices are vectors

[fallow yacht]

this is reclaimed land in my country

[remote swallow]

this is a full province we made out of thin air

[fallow yacht]

clear contrast since it's privately developed

[stark flicker]

Yes and usually a vector is moreso used in the vertical form than the horizontal one, so nx1

[remote swallow]

we just hate water i think

[glossy veldt]

now i see why in third year you can get your licence

I don't mind the heat

Cause I'm not Brit

[glossy veldt]

problem is UK houses are made for insulation so the second heat gets in your cooking alive

[median warren]

Hell yeah

Yeah and humidity is like 90%

[fallow yacht]

ours is also concrete houses

[median warren]

And 0 air conditioning

[remote swallow]

its the same issue here

[fallow yacht]

although we use hollow blocks instead of bricks

[remote swallow]

it'll be like 25c and 95% humidity and you'll be dying

[glossy veldt]

there was a whole fucking week of over 40°c heat

[median warren]

Yeaah

[glossy veldt]

the heatwave was horrible

[remote swallow]

but it was a free trip so i couldn't complain

[glossy veldt]

is it true that asians are short

[remote swallow]

[fallow yacht]

oh so i'm 6cm short

[glossy veldt]

i'm sitting at 165cm and i'm lying by a centimeter right now

never use the word short again

[median warren]

Then 25C 90%

[median warren]

Nah

[fallow yacht]

yeah it's not heat it's humidity

it just makes me sweat more

[glossy veldt]

it's really humid here in argentina i believe

[median warren]

I'm debating investing in an air conditioner and a dehumidifier

[glossy veldt]

its 11°c with 77% humidity because it rained earlier

[remote swallow]

40c 10% humidity: light work no reaction
25c 90% humidity: 💦💦💦

you step out it sounds like the damn mario desert music

[glossy veldt]

did i mention

when the heatwave of 2024 hit argentina, humidity was high too

so you had like 35°c with 75% humidity

[fallow yacht]

i miss u hong kong

[remote swallow]

in 2019 we had a day with 40c and 80%+ humidity

Man I finally upgrade to optic fiber, from 100mbps to 500mbps

[remote swallow]

lifechanging

[stark flicker]

500mbps with optic fiber is super low

[remote swallow]

its still plenty fast

especially going from 100

[frigid topaz]

It was either 500 or 2gb

No in-between

[remote swallow]

no 1 gig option damn thats kinda stupid

1 gig is the sweetspot imo

[frigid topaz]

Yeah but guess how much I have to pay extra now per month

[stark flicker]

How much are you paying

[frigid topaz]

5 bucks more

[grizzled frost]

i'll be upgrading to fiber optic soon and it'll be a decrease in price

[remote swallow]

my fiber was cheaper

i'm currently paying 10$ for 2,5gb which is also kinda nuts but it was on a sale

[frigid topaz]

My town got fiber like a month ago so yk

[remote swallow]

we got it uhh oct last year

[frigid topaz]

Nice

[grizzled frost]

They've been laying fiber in my area for like 2 weeks now

[remote swallow]

they were supposed to lay fiber here i kid you not, APRIL 2020

[fallow yacht]

welcome to the future

[remote swallow]

covid kinda screwed that

[frigid topaz]

But for me to use the fiber I have to wait a week for a technician and then another week for the activation

[grizzled frost]

going from 500/20 to 1000/1000

[ocean axle]

i dont know what kind if internet i have, i just get an RJ45 out the wall

[fallow yacht]

shouldn't that be the opposite

[grizzled frost]

shame on you rogue

[ocean axle]

it does at least gigabit, haven't tried with anything capable of faster

[remote swallow]

i went from uhh 1200/150 to 2500/2500

[fallow yacht]

meanwhile mine is 300/300

[frigid topaz]

Going from 100 to 500 will be life changing for me, no more waiting overnight to download a game

[ocean axle]

im not joking, i dont have an ONT or anything in my unit, i just get an RJ45 termination

[grizzled frost]

ask your landlord or something

[fallow yacht]

what's ur isp

[ocean axle]

im assuming there is a backhaul link that is fiber to the entire building, with a switch

[remote swallow]

yeah it will be, i remember going from 40/10 to 750/75 and that was CRAZY

[ocean axle]

My GTX 1070 went from 82°C to 78°C at max after repasting. That temp is good, right?

[fallow yacht]

first time migrating to fibre in 2019 was life changing

life changing at 15 mbps definitely thank god it's improving rn

[frigid topaz]

40 is wild, I got like 5 people total in my house and all use their devices all the time so yk would be impossible here

[remote swallow]

we had 40/10 up until 2018

second i turned 18 i overruled my parents on it LOL

they had some plan they got in 2010 and never changed it

[frigid topaz]

Would my public ip be changed if I go from dsl to optic fiber?

[remote swallow]

most likely

[ocean axle]

unless your USP assigns you a static one, yes

[frigid topaz]

Okay okay, I'll ask the technician next Friday

[remote swallow]

why does it take so long for ur fiber tho

[fallow yacht]

cuz isps don't see profit in their location

[remote swallow]

for us they put it in the ground, to our house and activated it within a week

[frigid topaz]

No idea ngl it said on 8th of march is when the technician and inspection is and then on the 12th is the activation

My earbuds just stopped working now, like completely and I told my mum and said I'm gonna buy a new one (she has discounts for stores so was gonna ask her for a discount) and she said "I have bad news... Im gonna have to tell you what I bought for you now" 😭

Bro, if my earbuds didn't fuck up I wouldn't have known

[remote swallow]

i dont think i've had a surprise gift from anyone besides my gf since i've been 16

i just went tell me the budget and i'll buy something

[fallow yacht]

was it airpods

[queen crow]

Hmm

[median warren]

Yes it's good

[latent gull]

We do this kind of connection for apartment buildings, using an SFP connector that has the ONT logic built in, it plugs into a router that can then split out to the individual rj45 connections

[daring viper]

It's better

[median warren]

No, xm6

[frigid topaz]

Ngl I never ask for gifts, just money

[median warren]

Like that's what she's getting

[queen crow]

Used p17 on it. Idk if it was good or not

[ocean axle]

considering im in an apartment building, that checks out

my guess is a 10g or 25g link for the whole building, and then everyone is on 1g or 2.5g ports

[latent gull]

jakes newest video talks about something similarm, an SFP style ONT that can mimic his current ONT, which im interested to see how that works out

[median warren]

Don't know much about that but your temps got reduced by 4C and are below 80 on max load so that's good

[latent gull]

similarm

[queen crow]

Alr thx

I installed Windows 10 on My Steamdeck as a Dual Boot, installed the Drivers from the Steam Site for it, and games I want, it worked fine for a few months, but now, Task Manager shows the system using 90% RAM utilization without anything really running. I can't even open Edge anymore, as it freezes the moment I open it.

[daring viper]

Yeah, most apartment buildings I've lived in have a connection like this. My current apartment has FttH, though

Still have to use the stupid ISP box to turn the fiber into ethernet, though. Might look into getting a GPON SFP module to spoof the ISP unit

[latent gull]

i recommend not but cant speak to the legality of it

[daring viper]

Yeah, I'd rather not go that way, but I also don't like a box with a TR-069 service open to the internet

A box I have little control over, may I add

those are not conflicting statements

it can be a good value and still cost arm and leg and kidney 😄

[craggy cove]

well ehhhhhhhhh

[brave brook]

a 5090 at MSRP was too expensive, but still excelent price/performance ratio

[craggy cove]

though i was intentionally omitting context, this was a 3070 review during the shortage

[craggy cove]

5090 at msrp 😭

[daring viper]

Ehh, is it? Cheaper cards have better price/performance ratios, imo

[brave brook]

not for LLMs, no

[daring viper]

llmao

[craggy cove]

rtx 5090 vs 75x rx 580 8gb

[median warren]

Vs the one and only

1080ti

The card that still continues to hold world records

Well, 3/4 of them together do

[daring viper]

But for graphics, meh, tbh

I've got a 5070Ti, already an expensive card

[brave brook]

i use those for LLM

[daring viper]

For 3x the price, I doubt a 5090 would run games 3x better than a 5070Ti. I don't deal with local LLMs

I've got TPUs for that

[brave brook]

say hi to pair of them

[remote swallow]

i miss my 1080Ti, legends

[remote swallow]

i just went for a 4080 to avoid paying the 5070Ti tax

[median warren]

Room to breathe? None

And I'd be worried about sag

That's a cramped ass system

[remote swallow]

dw about breathing it's a mesh case

[median warren]

Oh yeah that's how that works ofc

[remote swallow]

hey it's better than nothing

[median warren]

Well actually, no

If there was nothing, it would get more air

[remote swallow]

matter of fact i still have that case and a random am5 mobo in the attic

[median warren]

Just collecting dust

[remote swallow]

if it was nothing it would not get air because it would not exist

[remote swallow]

yeah basically

i havent touched it in over a year

[brave brook]

it's the camera, there is no sag. Also there is half slot of breathing space, and the card barely goes above 60C at full LLM load

[gaunt spade]

what

[median warren]

Okay good

[oblique shoal]

The rx 7900 xtx a good GPU. And how much better than my current rx 6750 xt? I game 1440p

How would you guys go about installing windows 11 on a system that's cpu is so bad it doesn't support it?

[gaunt spade]

not doing so

[remote swallow]

bypassing it with rufus idgaf

[median warren]

Yep good idea

[remote swallow]

how i feel not caring about no minimum requirements #lowcortisollife

[gaunt spade]

how i hate windows 11

[median warren]

They need to reinstall windows because viruses

And they want to upgrade to 11 because 10 yk

No longer receives support

[gaunt spade]

10 superior

[daring viper]

Fair enough, but I've got stock in Nvidia so it'll pay itself back, right, right???

[median warren]

Not in terms of support and security

[remote swallow]

not really

11 is just bloated but also is better optimized for gaming

[gaunt spade]

[ionic peak]

I'm going ali express

[gaunt spade]

what in the ichill gpu

[snow mauve]

anybody have good success with text to image creation stuff and found a good model that works? i only have these 2 thus far and they are not 'fantastic'

how much can i get away with a p40 tesla

[brave brook]

pair of 5070 Ti's for LLM duties. Runs Qwen3.6-27B with max context length (with quantization obviously) really well.

[brave brook]

Pascal stuff is often not supported by python libraries these days

[snow mauve]

this may be dumb question but what exactly is the contrast with a lowre qwen family, high params, vs higher qwen family, lower params? i'm currently using for now qwen 2.5 7 and 14b for my 2 projects

[brave brook]

and most of this image generation runs through pytorch

[snow mauve]

well what i have works 'fine' plumbing wise, it's just not great

[random gyro]

Bruh why tf does apple sell the apple pencil without pressure sensitivity

[snow mauve]

as it is i'm already technically not even supposed to be running this p40 on a 730xd 😄

[gaunt spade]

yea whatever you said ai man

[brave brook]

newer version = better. Bigger parameters = more domain and world knowledge. What is your use case

[sharp ivy]

what

so you guys use graphics card to make ai?

how does this work

[brave brook]

$200/month Claude Code vs 2200 euros once for a system which gets you 90% there

[random gyro]

in what world is that comparable to you

[brave brook]

graphics cards are great at vector matrix multiplication. LLM interference aka AI is guess what... vector matrix multiplication

[snow mauve]

ironically i've been using openai for most things. but private things like the book i'm writing and siem / log analysis domain will be internal, but openai has helped me stitch the platform together with a lot of debugging. i'm using it to write a book from my own notes and mind dumps, it's more helping me organize and su mmarize. at the time openai (after knowing my hardware specs) suggested to start with qwen 2.5 7/14b

[rigid fjord]

one off payment vs constant payment for the same thing

[random gyro]

cuz you don't pay for electricity

[sharp ivy]

Ah I see

[rigid fjord]

says you with an assumption there

[snow mauve]

also i dont know why some people knock openai. i love it...but you gotta be on the pro version at least $20/mo. i do'nt discuss politics or world events or stuff like that. just tech stuff

[random gyro]

and you won't be able to run a model as good as that

[random gyro]

they're directly related

[snow mauve]

but looking at my card stats even on a task that 'pegs' my gpu i'm really only at 9gb of usage on my 24gb card, i know i can do more

[sharp ivy]

does your gpu power matter for the quality of the response or just the time?

[gaunt spade]

yea good investment

[brave brook]

for creative stuff i would say go with Gemma 4, and try either 31B or 26B-A4B. With certain settings, i was able to put the 26B-A4B down to ~5-6GB VRAM used with barely any performance loss (because you can offload many parts requiring simpler math to CPU)

[rigid fjord]

besides all this, you can host claude on a system you built as it is

[random gyro]

both

[sharp ivy]

I see

[brave brook]

the electricity is a factor, but again, at $200/month subscription you own nothing. meanwhile i got a pair 5070 Ti's i could sell at any time, and in 1 year i get their value back compared to owning a limited $200/month sub - because even at that level, you will hit limits

[snow mauve]

i assume you mean for the image gen stuff? what about for my siem/log ingestion (had to get that perfect first, wazuh/graylog), and book writing? it recommended i have a 'mind dump mode' which is less intensive and then a more coherant. i honestly don't think the models suggested were intended to be final but more get my feet wet.

[sharp ivy]

So how bad would a response and time be if I ran AI on my industrial quadro card?

Quadro NVS 420

[random gyro]

there's no use for either lol

[brave brook]

you are faster doing AI on CPU

[ionic peak]

I kinda like it

[gaunt spade]

prety neat

[rigid fjord]

https://github.com/tanbiralam/claude-code <- the source code that got leaked for claude as it is

[sharp ivy]

but like about how long would it take to make a few sentances

[snow mauve]

para, what do you think about a few folks out there saying the 'way' we have been training AI from the start is wrong, and trying to redefine the game on how this is done to better utilize hardware/power? i think everybody just rolled with A way to do this. doesnt mean it's the best

[rigid fjord]

for that i would presume you'd have to look at the docs for it, but possibly a nas set up for siem logging

[brave brook]

forever. It has 11.2GB/s memory bandwidth and 256MB VRAM. You have no model which can be loaded into that, and 11.2GB/s is 1/5 of the performance of a decade old CPU

[snow mauve]

it's like building the most efficient but expensive combustionp engine then somebody comes out with an engine that takes bananas. one of two things happens. the guy is killed, or he becomes successful lol

[snow mauve]

no the siem plumbing is good. i'm now adding a layer on top for ai analytics

[brave brook]

i am not trying to even understand the tech behind the LLM. I scratch the surface on user level, maybe on configuring harness level. Not trying to understand models, that is for others 😄

[sharp ivy]

ah ok. if AI could run on its VRAM, would it be better than some other gpus because it's dual die

like it could do 2 parts of the AI ing at once

[brave brook]

NVS420 is a lowend part from 17 years ago. It is not usable for anything. It has CUDA HW level 1.1; many LLM stuff is already dropping anything pre CUDA HW level 7

[snow mauve]

lol for a sec i was like wtf do you mean 256gb is great

[rigid fjord]

would be likely 1 inference per 60 minutes instead of 60 inference per minute

[snow mauve]

but that's 256 MB :/

[open rock]

hello i bought a rasberry pi 5 4gb do u gus know of cool things i can do with it i will be running a very striped down guiless linux on it

[rigid fjord]

pihole, pikvm,octoprint,vaultwarden, to name a few you could run on it

there's even LLM's you could run on it using an AI hat for the ras pi 4/5

[open rock]

do u guys think the 4gb ram is ok (the 8gb is way overpriced were i live)

[rose stream]

Should be, for a Pi anyway.

[stray portal]

Yall i might pay for one drive

Its actually cheap 2 dollars for 100 jigabytes

[open rock]

true but even the orange pi or patato pi is also overwpiced here we have crazy import tax

[gaunt spade]

how many gb is one jigabyte

[brave brook]

how long context do you use at one sitting ? with 24GB VRAM these days i would go with:
https://huggingface.co/unsloth/Qwen3.6-27B-GGUF with IQ4_XS quant and whatever context you can get in there (it is going to be slower tho, but has more world knowledge)
https://huggingface.co/unsloth/Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-GGUF with UD-IQ3_XXS or IQ4_XS or any of 3-bit/4-bit quants and whatever context you can get in there - it's going to be fast, but might not always get the best results
https://huggingface.co/unsloth/gemma-4-26B-A4B-it-GGUF again with UD-IQ3_XXS or UD-IQ4_XS quants or other 3/4-bit quants with whatever context you can get in there - from people's statements and my own experience it is somewhat better at 'writing', a lot worse at coding than Qwen3.6

[frigid rapids]

The PC and set up

[snow mauve]

para, to be honest, i'm writing a sc ifi book, so ANY context with physics, even controversial, ufo tech, etc would be great lol

[brave brook]

i mean i was able to have Qwen3.5-27B with 115k context on 2x 1080 Ti, which is faster in terms of memory bandwidth. Of course i had K/V cache quantized to Q4, or Q8/Q4 K/V, but oh well, that is often needed with limited VRAM

[snow mauve]

it'll be rag centric

[stray portal]

1 to 1

[snow mauve]

i think the problem is i've not really 'taxed' my setup yet. i took some benchmarks, wrote a few paragraphs and then had the model s ummarize it for me. i pegged my gpu for 5 sec each time max

the stable difussion stuff on the LONG parsing took 2 min

[stray portal]

You see the joke is people dont know how to say gif and say jif , and it is a funny joke to do the same with gigabytes 🤯 😎

[snow mauve]

i think the context/tokens stuff for me is honestly a bit abstract for me still

[brave brook]

i mean, just try gemma-26B and see how it goes. All you pay for the try is your network bandwidth to download the <20GB model

[ember spire]

Thinking about a laptop for college as a mechanical engineering major, I wanted to know if there’s a middle ground between legion 7i pro and a XPs 16, I need a discrete graphics card but not as heavy as the legion 7i

[gaunt spade]

sarcasm

i say bobabyte

[snow mauve]

that's fine, willing to get what i need to get. what about when it comes to the image stuff? something better you recommend? i have a bunch of nerd knobs that impact the image too, but this is a bit more raw than the normal platforms i've used

[stray portal]

I would use it all the time but theres no way to sync it to my phone 😔 so i just use it for tests

[brave brook]

for most use cases, think of a token is equal to about 2-3 letters. These typical models can be configured up to 262144 tokens, so that is equal to about 130-170k words ? Tho that includes your whole chat session, so sometimes it is better to just start from scratch with clean state.

[brave brook]

i haven't really tried image generation yet. Tried comfyui on my 4080 Super, was weirded out by how complicated it is, never tried again 😄

[gaunt spade]

https://giphy.com/gifs/laugh-tongue-patrick-kwPUjfyC1JvInfDcfu

yea probably explains why my openai chat sessions bog down hard after days of chatting and log analysis 🙂

i will literally paste json log output, dozens while we're developing the log schema

[stray portal]

Still using open ai 😡

[snow mauve]

using openai to help steer me to local ai 😄

[rigid fjord]

back in late 90's to mid 2005 for that one

[brave brook]

maybe try to use them with agentic tools ? Like opencode and such instead of doing chat sessions

[stray portal]

Theres a theory that since chatgpt was the first on the market, other companies used chatgpt to train their AI so now every other ai is extra liberal because of chatgpt

[iron glen]

wsg rauko

[rigid fjord]

not much, feeling like i'm trying to breath under water currently, you?

[iron glen]

having a monster

[brave brook]

that is a dumb theory. In general, internet is rather liberal, so when you use internet as majority of your training dataset (because you exhaused other options like books), your result will be similar.

[snow mauve]

trying a baseline lol

[rigid fjord]

alcohol and chicken my help get rid of this feeling currently

[snow mauve]

not bad :d took 10s and my gpu barely got hot

[iron glen]

first time hearing that combo

[rigid fjord]

well chicken helps for colds, and alcohol just helps burn shit away so...

what about just alcoholic chicken? 2 birds you know (no pun intended)

what distros u u all recomend for a 4gb pi 5 i dont need a gui im used to arch and i dont mind it bing time intensive or breaking my install

[restive plinth]

"Including apps, settings and user files" How is that going to work without creating a massive backup file 🤔

[formal sonnet]

It likely won't? Like... This is how System Restore has worked all these years. Also, one should not rely on the OS or a single storage device or system as a means of restoring their user files anyway. It's nice to have the option, but an offline backup you regularly test is the way to go.

[restive plinth]

Yeah I am asking what kinda compression or what kinda storage technique is it using to prevent the space from ballooning up? (for system restore also)

[frigid blade]

You can actually preset a WiFi config when creating the PiOS image, it can install on its own and connect to the Internet, you can also pre enable remote access and you can remote in from another for example windows machine

That’s how I used mine because I don’t have the micro HDMI either

[open rock]

thats cool i wont be running pios on it tho

[formal sonnet]

Who knows. You'd have to check Microsoft's documentation, if they have any published yet.

[frigid blade]

What will you run?

[open rock]

arch btw

[frigid blade]

You can set up a similar headless install on a lot of different OS’s

I also did it on Windows for ARM when I tested it in the Pi

[frigid blade]

Just gotta look around on how to do it, it’s definitely possible

[open rock]

ok il try and do u know if it hade a tini fan header i took out a 40mm fan from a old psu

thanks for your help

[teal sphinx]

I am curious why my friend 3600 is running at 1.4v constantly when gaming while mine run only at like 1.32v but only hit 3.9ghz while he did 4.1ghz
no manual overclocking

[frigid blade]

Mine never needed any fan cooling, but it has a small heatsink

I’m sure they sell them online though the fans

[open rock]

i probably wont ether but i have this lying around so i might as well use it

[frigid blade]

It probably does have a fan header yah

[lean flame]

My PC was built Scrapyard wars style, where whatever was cheap or on sale i bought!

[frigid blade]

Is it a pi4 or 5 or what

[lean flame]

in hindsight i could've done a bit better.

[frigid blade]

Ah ok it’s not a header

https://picockpit.com/raspberry-pi/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/raspberry-pi-fan-pins.jpg

[open rock]

its a pi 5 4gb

[frigid blade]

Yours might then

[formal sonnet]

Ah it's just an extension of the existing Volume Shadow Copy Service. So yeah, you get to decide how much disk space it uses, and it just does its thing with whatever compression it has always been using. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/configuration/quick-machine-recovery/point-in-time-restore
