I looked at your other comments on lemmy for 30 sec and found that you are clearly joking. So glad everyone understands sarcasm.

Yeah, I like it too. My only issue is ollama's lack of intel support. I have been looking at issue 1590 on their GitHub. For now I have a 1050ti in a cardboard box PC with other hardware being 10+ years old and a mixed set of RAM totalling 12G. It also has a 100Mbit nic, so I can't take advantage of full internet speed when downloading models. The worst part is they can support intel, but haven't merged the solution because of an issue with the windows intel drivers. Linux is fine but I can 't have it. I wasn't planning to rant, but I already typed it so... enjoy?

I'm not sure, but they're the only distro I've used that properly packages openrgb. It automatically does the udev rules and everything.

I think you might mean 4096.

I was thinking a vibrator from a device with haptics, but if that's what you want, go for it.

One of the rare cases where this is a serious option: just don't buy it. People say that for phones that spy on you, but that's ridiculous because that is quite hard for some people. This is not. Use a regular toothbrush. Duck tape a vibrator motor to the handle if you really feel like that helps. You don't need the ai, and it is unlikely that you will only ever be able to buy ai toothbrushes.

Ollama with open webui if you have a computer lying around. I'm able to run the 7b models on a 1050ti. Be warned if you haven't hosted stuff, it's a rabbit hole.

Username checks out.

Different one. Luckily nothing truly public facing.

I had one through them. I had an issue where the registry (not registrar, this was gen.xyz that did it) took the domain because abuse (I have no clue what). Njalla's support was completely unhelpful, so I moved to porkbun, and I must say, porkbun was indeed an oddly satisfying experience.

As for your questions, I don't know one or two, but I can tell you njalla wasn't a scam as of a month or two ago when I used it.

I agree. Ads are just completely scummy. If I am interested in buying something, I will research and decide for myself what I want to buy by looking at marketing material, specs, etc. The only thing ads are good for is making you subconsciously more likely to think of mc Donalds over bk when deciding where to stop for food, and that kind of subtle manipulation should be illegal. Sorry for ranting about something you seem to agree with me on, but a little circle jerking is nice every now and then.

Comedic value?

Nice.

You can say size, just say it's all old public domain stuff like mine is.

About 12 tb. 3 12 tb hdds, raid 5. Run arr suite, qbittorrent, jellyfin, and some non piracy related things. I should get a proper backup, but money.

I daily drive arc on linux. They're not as bad as people say. Not fully there, but opencl support requires one package that is in most distros repos, same for video. Not saying they're perfect, or even better than amd, but they are a lot better than people seem to think.

IMO, intel has underrated linux drivers. You get solid 3d, codecs, compute, etc. ootb. Assuming your distro supports it. You may be looking into something higher end, though.

I think you're talking about that public domain movie with a similar title.

Not who you asked, but I think some might argue that it would be a scam if you ordered it and it didn't arrive or something like that. If it works against one facial recognition model than technically it is just bad marketing. Either way is bad, though.

It's not great. I have one, and I am able to use it, but there are some issues. Battery life is the main one. It will probably get 6 hours or so of active use, but they don't have good idle power management, so you don't get much more by turning it off.

Their performance isn't bad. It wasn't ever all that great though. It was mainly ppw that people liked, and you wouldn't really get that benefit with asahi because of the previously mentioned power management issues. Newer AMD laptops will absolutely outperform it.

Another issue that you didn't ask about, but I feel is worth mentioning: apple's build quality is bad. On mine, the display flashes pink sometimes. It did this before I ever put asahi on it. There are many reports of other users with the same issue. When I fist noticed it, it only happened once a month or so. Now I notice it 5-10 times a day, and I don't use it that much (maybe an hour or so a day).

Also, according to Louis Rossmann, there is a data line next to a power line on the motherboard that can easily be shorted out in humidity. He has pointed out many design issues, and usually they persist for quite some time before apple does anything, if they ever do.

I know I am coming across as very biased against apple, but keep in mind that I bought one. I thought that M1 was a large step forward in the quality of their products, and thought it was worth it to get one. I was wrong.
