I’m not the OP, and yeah I saw that too. Thanks

I see. Thanks

How quantized? I don’t think 16GB of RAM is enough to run a full fat 12B model at FP16 but maybe I’m wrong.

Nvidia cards are just too expensive

How do you not configure the network stack? If you have an Intel NIC on the motherboard/any PCIE lanes in theory it should be able to connect.

What worries me is that someone could perform a reverse shell on my system with/in addition to a magic packet and get full ring 0 access to my system. I’m investigating network monitoring tools that can help me find traces of ME on my network.

Because it lets us disable Intel ME

I think Ollama supported ROCM especially with the older AMD cards?

I think pcpartpicker has different options to share with similar formatting that you could paste.

Why did you decide to change the motherboard? Is it because of Intel’s issues with their chips? Wouldn’t that problem be fixed with their microcode patch if you buy now?

I couldn’t find a 9070XT at around MSRP anywhere, I wanted to use them in a combination with other GPUs for AI. Know where I can find some?

Any alternatives to Facebook for local buy nothing groups?

It’s owned by a billionaire. I don’t think enshittification is far away

I work on Linux and use Linux at home. I’ll try to go through the problems you mentioned:

1. Just run the update command again in the GUI or terminal. If it doesn’t work, we’ll have to dig into apt with verbose logs but I haven’t had apt break on me for over a decade unless I deleted something I shouldn’t have.
2. Is Firefox installed as a snap/flatpak? That only happens with me occasionally when I installed flatpaks, they’re just slower. Canonical can be a real arse about this stuff, they might switch packages to snaps without telling you and you might only come to know about it once you dig deeper.
3. All of these issues seem to related to your storage medium. Is the SSD OK? Open up the process monitor, sort by ascending order of disk writes/reads and open your applications one by one to see which one of them is the culprit.
4. Rebooting suddenly is not normal. Unfortunately, you’ll have to go through logs for this one. Simple ones are dmesg and journalctl, we can dig deeper into them if you want to.

If I had my hands on your laptop I’d be running a vulnerability scan by now but I don’t think the problem is serious enough to warrant it.

Personally, Framework has become a bit too expensive for me. If you’re in the US I’d look at the older Dell precision and HP ZBook workstations from 2020 or earlier, they have amazing specs and go for $400 or so. Fairly repairable because enterprises demanded that they be and gobs of power for anything you want.

Older MacBooks still have that darned WiFi card which you need special proprietary drivers for. And basically nothing in that chassis is standard; everything is Apple-specific if you want to repair it. I don’t recommend MacBooks

True. I use a cheap computer monitor for myself, and since I live like a hermit it isn’t really a problem for me. Aren’t projectors more expensive than cheap 1080p TVs?

I will buy a Telly TV as long as I don’t have to give my ID and can desolder the WiFi chip.

I know what day it is but commenting on a hypothetical precedent

Rage-read until the third paragraph lol

I don’t know how PoW works but do you think that TOR and Dread’s PoW can be reused?

Honestly I have no idea how PoW works at all. I’m just happy to see the innovation in this space. With that said, people have raised the idea of using TOR’s PoW mechanism, or in my case, Dread’s PoW. I believe both of them work without JavaScript

Anubis without JavaScript is what I’m waiting for. I know that the Darknet forum Dread has a PoW system that doesn’t use JS (or maybe it does something else entirely and I completely missed it)
