Hey, my knee jerk answer was what I have always dreamed of doing it if I was immortal - cozy up with all the books ever written.

Please help me understand this. Let’s say I’m a daredevil. My job is to jump from planes and ride bikes over running helicopters, etc.

So let’s say I’m prepping for my latest stunt and there’s a high probability that it’ll kill me. What will be the alternative? Do I just, not do the stunt? Or rather, fate finds a way for that stunt to not happen, perhaps. Maybe by breaking my leg one day before the event?

OR, I can tweak that in my favor and say that there are two options - jumping over a line of burning school buses vs. over a line of running helicopters. Then am I triggering fate to pick only one of these two options (and not the option of breaking my leg a day before)?

If the latter is the case, then I would set up ever increasing death defying stunts and flood the betting market with bets that I won’t die. After all, either stunt is impressive. If the betting process won’t cut it, at least the Red Bull YouTube channel viewership will bring in the moolah for me.

If it is the former, where fate just chickens out and causes me some minor harm (or distraction) so I don’t go get myself killed the next day or the next moment, then what’s the point? Live your life and accept that if you stub your toe, it’s so that you don’t kill yourself of an embolism later. If you miss the bus, assume the bus would have fallen in the water had you been on it.

And now it’s down 2.26%

No price for FREEDUMB!

Fuck you those are skittles.

Oh yeah, I’ve got an external 140 TB nigh impossible to fill up! I don’t have download ware any more though. So there’s that. I’ve yet to explore unraid. I’m stuck with windows for now because I got on windows 11 bleeding edge for some reason I can’t remember. Stepping away means I’d have to wipe or dual boot. And I’m… lazy… haha!

Yeah I just read up a little on it. Seems it doesn’t have video out? So it only does processing? That’s kinda cool!

I don’t shy away from buying refurb electronics. But is there a problem with buying used GPUs?

Not looking forward to buying new during this tariff era. So perhaps my local marketplaces might be best…

Wow; thanks for finding that doc. Yeah, I’ve made it work on my system. But I’d like to use some of the bigger models.

Thank you for that! I’ll look at the AMD. I thought most ML tools don’t have outright compatibility with AMD though? Is that no longer the case?

The 4060 Ti 16 GB version… that sounds good. About $500?

This thing is just a 150 euro… what is it? A GPU on top of my GPU?

Sure. I'm just a bystander though. Gonna make jokes till you guys get your act together.

Which third world country are you talking abou… oh, wait.

$28 a year???? Woah.

My recommendation (sorry for the delay in response) would be not to use it as a base. Use the image as such. It has in-built features for screenshots, for using puppeteer, etc. So just use those. Any issues with that approach?

Costco is next, which is even funnier because Costco stock is on a roll.

By the way, if you get XVfb running for puppeteer (a little further down in the readme), let me know.

Try using this following project as your base image before throwing puppeteer on it (or use the inbuilt functionality to take screenshots). It includes Jessie Frazelle’s seccomp profile. If you want nightmares, go read her blogpost about it. Otherwise just let it be and follow the setup guide in the readme of this project -

First rule of the Fight Club app, dude.

Oddly specific.
