Whoa there agent Smith

I’m italian so I guess it depends on when on the timeline they plucked him

Mecha comet

Yeah exactly. And despite this, and despite the US using its post-WWII influence to keep us a fascist state, we have resisted and we have better worker protections, universal healthcare, unemployment assistance, and so on. And we have the guts to do something, unlike Americans.

GDPR violation, ah no wait it’s the land of the free-to-do-as-they-fucking-want(-as-long-as-they-got-money)

whew, long name

well if you w98bsod you don’t need to reboot

Me: I never update. My immutable distro downloads new images in the background and they get mounted next boot.

Yeah I was lucky to buy a 6900XT when it was near the lowest price, so I sold that and added a couple hundred for the 7900, seemed like a good future-proofing move, given the times we’re living in.

I think Apple silicon is faster than my generation of Ryzen, but the newest (Strix something?) with the LPDDRGGFASEWARGH5 memory should be faster yet. Of course buying all that memory right now would be quite painful.

So I have a framework laptop with ryzen ai cpu that uses 48gb of shared ram, and it does run Q4 llms fine enough, but I’m not sure it compares to a real GPU.

On my desktop I have an RX 7900 XTX but I’ve only dabbled in image generation so far, so right now I couldn’t really tell you the difference.

Well it works anyway even with a bit of occupied vram, but you could also buy a cheap videocard to use as an output. I have small intel card like that in my server for jellyfin transcoding, I think I paid 60€ for it, it hardly uses any power

Time to put cannons on cargos. Call Oto Melara.

Why yes debian?

Even the ultra-fascist space marine is shocked?

Ok, watch and learn. By the time it’s done it may be too late for you tho.

If your MB has onboard graphics, maybe you could mask the GPU and just pass it off to a container running the LLMs I guess

Yeah, I’m glad I took the time to set up a separate VLAN for this. It wasn’t easy on my MikroTik router (nothing ever is with those), but it’s worth the effort.

it has to share VRAM with the DE. Maybe I’ll set it up for remote development from my laptop instead to free up VRAM.

eh, just systemctl isolate multi-user.target

What a great software

I still have my black Core 2 duo Black Macbook, it’s cut to a 4th of its size, a magnet is stuck near the lid sensor and it outputs video from the port on the side.

I mean it used to output, I haven’t tried turning it on in like a decade

267€? What are those, 4GB sticks?
