>I figure that if I can convert the whole thing to an expression it can compute it without branching:
you are fucking yourself over and avoiding all of the hardware and shader compiler support for handling this sort of thing without branching by using ancient branchless programming tricks
and if you're going to try and actively do that sort of thing in case you don't trust the shader compiler make use of the dedicated shader builtins for avoiding/reducing branches and not CPU SIMD techniques from back when SIMD instructions were literally only capable of arithmetic
like the balloting related APIs or some of the features of subgroups (i don't know what HLSL calls them)

also even if it doesn't avoid it gpu hardware can handle branching considerably better now

The z-fighting issue was caused by a noise function in the fragment that was being used for per face color variation. Opus asked if the z-fighting was flickering or not and deduced it was a shader issue and not a depth precision issue. I asked it about potentially implementing jolt physics and it was excited so I’ll do that after I make dinner. I’ll post a video when it’s complete. Looks like it won’t take long. Jolt simply needs a list of triangles to make a custom collider for each chunk and it already provides a “player” present which I assume is just a capsule collider. Certainly easier than rolling your own physics.

What distro would you recommend if you are mainly concerned with privacy. I was led to believe Debian was really good for that but after several months of frustration with Debian and noticing on my second laptop that I never have those issues with Fedora, I changed debian to fedora, but now worried if it will come at a cost of privacy

>>107736061
Data privacy was my reason for switching from Windows and a concern moving forward for me, but not a chief concern. Anyone invading my privacy less than Windows 11 is potentially fine, so my bar is low. More than anything, other than not having cyberpunk dystopian monitoring and ad performance software on my machine, I want stability and to not have to screw with my system once it's set up, so I'm on Debian but probably would take a look at Fedora or Arch if I were inconvenienced by anything.

As for privacy... those concerns might be overblown. There's sometimes a spirit of privacy that bucks any and all monitoring which is admirable in a way, but also guaranteed to make your life difficult. If Red Hat is collecting some simple data to improve their product, then selling that improved product to someone else I might not have a problem with that depending on what they gather, but I'd have a problem with them selling that same data to someone else, as an example. It's worth researching what it is they actually take and what they can do with it; if you're low on the schizo scale it might not be important.

It's really surprising to hear that you had trouble with installation especially, Debian was dead nuts simple for me to get running and only gave me a bit of trouble when I changed some hardware. I have it on three computers and it just werks.

>>107732908
Mozilla moved to supporting the XDG standard last year (fucking finally) so that's not an issue now if you want to snapshot the config files in ~/. config/Mozilla but not the cache, etc.

Ironically they are better than Chrome now which stores its fucking databases in ~/.config like that's a totally normal thing it should be doing.

>>107736205

>You lose 50% of the storage space since all data is duplicated

Yup that makes sense, I meant more like hypothetically if I had a pool of storage using RAID, the usage size is limited to the smallest drive in the pool. From what I've read so far that's only the case for stuff like RAID5, etc.? Like I said I only plan on using raid1 on identical drive sizes.

In regards to btrfs: I assume that'd it'd use the matching drives (8+8) (16+16) as raid 1 pairs, and present the pair as individual devices that are then added to the pool for 24tb total, but I figured I would ask to be 100% sure.

>>107735848
>btrfs has a lot fewer restrictions about adding new disks and rotating out old ones out
I think I'll do btrfs then.

>>107735848
>it's not out of tree
I didn't know what this meant so I googled it.
Is the issue here mainly that the out of tree module developers are at the whim of the upstream kernel developers, and shit can break at any time? So BTRFS would just be more reliable since Debian supports it naturally?

Firefox is bloated crap. Try a couple windows with a bunch of tabs and you're already filling up 16 gb. It wasn't so long ago that 8 gb would keep you in the clear for most tasks. Now we all ideally need 64 gb+ to handle AI and stuff.

Totally get your situation anon - would recommend something which would I would normally have never given a second glance - but did specifically for this exact same reason - x13 thinkpad gen1 amd. They're cheap and work 100% fine with openbsd. I didn't want to break out past the x230 and while it does work just fine its too slow. with the x13 and used bsdfreq keeping it at nice - zero fan - frequencies I can get just slightly slower speeds than the x230 on parabola.

They spoke of the process a little, so basically they're just shilling their own and I shouldn't worry about whatever woes WAI, JANKU, Hassaku, or whatever else has? At the very least, the rate of horror hands wasn't any lower (or higher for that matter) between WAI v12 and richyrichMixIXL-v1.fp16. Granted, I suspect you'd need to prompt something especially elaborate involving hands for that to happen these days. Hands clasped together in prayer invokes images of spaghetti.

>>107736187
i would have to have seen the full convo to know for sure. i barely check the server nowdays though. something like interlocked fingers giving spaghetti is an SDXL limitation i believe due to the VAE. NAI doesn't do it very well either honestly. thats something youll either need to draw over manually and inpaint the area with a low denoise or ask a big model like nano banana to fix assuming the image is sfw

Rather not dox myself, so no screencaps. Hell, even their faq channel ends with it saying that if any issue is encountered and WAI is the checkpoint, then ditch WAI. Not a good selling point but I have been sticking with the CFG at 5 and steps at 25, which makes batch gens come out a little faster. Though while I'm here, I'd like a second opinion on prompt order and prompt mixing. They say the former has no bearing on the final result, while the latter varies. "short black hair" in lieu of "short hair, black hair" is bad while replacing "pleated skirt, white skirt" with "white pleated skirt" sometimes works but my experiences tell me it radically depends more on the LoRA. Without any character LoRA and relying solely on the checkpoint, I can gen miniskirts true micro skirts without issue. Throw in a character LoRA and even "sling bikini top" is a crapshoot with most character LoRAs, which is a pet peeve considering what I'm trying to do.

>>107736353
i believe it depends solely on how the data was captioned. i remember that angel (illustrious creator) said they condensed redundant tags for illustrious, so black hair and long hair would be long black hair or black long hair (cant remember which). the lora creator probably just used a danbooru auto tagger and didnt condense the tags
