Ghost was the re-imaging tool. Since Windows 98/XP would get very slow after running for a long time, users would re-image their CD to get back to the pristine state on a regular basis, usually with all their software installed. Of course this works best with your documents stored on another drive.

the $30 US shipping kills it
found a supplier for the base connector (they're sold as edge connectors, not free right-angle connectors), not that hard to 3d print a case around them
benefit of digikey is that this is all shipped together from the US too, gonna get some more items (they sell nice tweezers for work) but keeping this order sheet for the project
need to get some enameled mini wires too

no, zswap will do the same. zram for swap is to prevent you from swapping to disk, as you will have no disk backing in zram swap. zswap does the same thing but will swap to disk when needed.

What are some (somewhat exotic) smart wearables that are NOT shit? I don't mind a subscription but it has to be worth it.

Feel free to suggest wearables in the following categories but from what I've seen, in each category the most popular brand has a scammy business model :

>Smart wristbands

>Whoop 5.0
You pay $400 once for the device (which is probably just as good as any other wristband of the same price range) and then it's $30 per month to use their "algorithms" to get insights into your health metrics.
You're basically paying a company to exploit your health data.


>Smart rings

>Oura 4.0
Has shit battery life compared to competition, ring in itself is nothing really special and is also subscription based.

screens are just big enough to show weather radar/ maps/ typical phone notifications
but also the additional sensors like heart rate/ skin temp/ o2/ motion/ecg/ blood pressure

probably the best every day wearable
apple or samsung are obvious leaders but google and garmin are definitely still good options

/hsg/ is about learning and expanding your horizons. Know all about NAS? Learn virtualization. Spun up some VMs? Learn about networking by standing up a OPNsense/PFsense box and configuring some VLANs. There's always more to learn and chances to grow. Think you’re god-tier already? Setup OpenStack and report back.

Install Gentoo. Or whatever flavor of *nix is best for the job or most comfy for you. Jellyfin/Emby/Plex to replace Netflix, Nextcloud to replace Googlel, Ampache/Navidrome to replace Spotify, the list goes on. Look at the awesome self-hosted list and ask.

>Why should I have a home server?
De-botnet your life. Learn something new. Serving applications to yourself, your family, and your frens feels good. Put your tech skills to good use for yourself and those close to you. Store their data with proper availability redundancy and backups and serve it back to them with a /comfy/ easy to use interface.

>ABASI
For his petulant bickering with the fellow demigod Munir, Abasi has been cursed to have the body of a child for a few centuries while retaining his adult mind. What's worse, Munir has decided to make it even harder for people to take him seriously by making him retain his adult voice...and giving him a bit of a tummy. But this stern god of duels and honorable death will endure. He's faced harder challenges, after all. Four greetings:

1. A team of archaeologists explore the temple of this forgotten boy-god.
2. Abasi oversees an honor duel between you and your opponent of choice.
3. Why are you worshiping that RAT BITCH MUNIR?!
4. Let's get shredded together!

The code in that repo reads like AI slop and a lot of the "performance optimizations" don't make any sense to me.
But it does use the v_dot2_f32_f16 for FP16 multiplication with FP32 accumulation that I was previously unfamiliar with as I hadn't read the Vega ISA documentation in detail.
After applying the same instructions to mainline llama.cpp https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/pull/15884 I've found it to be faster.
It's getting to the point where I think Mi50s will soon be a universally better buy than P40s:

Oh man. First and last custom switch I bought and have been using them for what, 5 years? Is nice. You can still buy em new today?
The casings are weak as shit and fit badly in my K552, that's the only problems I have with them. I had replace a few, one or two of my keys are now the KTT stem in an Outemu blue housing, hilarious.
Also the spring could be better, putting the spring from an actual cherry mx blue made mine a lot better in my opinion. Shorter, therefore bigger ramp up, therefore more tactility.

Think I will replace the whole thing soon though. There is a Model M for $90 listed locally in good shape. Opinions? It's the best fucking deal I've seen in 5 years, short of magically finding one in a trash heap, that's just not happening. I've seen them sell for $200 with missing keys years ago.
>>
>>106529695
>Shorter, therefore bigger ramp up, therefore more tactility.
I've always found shorter springs had the opposite effect, since the tactile bump is near the top and you're taking away resistance up there.

In this case I'd bet it's because you went from a 45g spring to a 60g spring.

I think the supposed downsides to used cards are overstated. The one thing of value to me that LTT ever produced is his video on used mining cards, and he didn't find any flaws with the majority of the cards. Chips don't really fail in that way. Age related failure is more of a mechanical wear thing, but a conductive piece of silicon remains a conductive piece of silicon with usage.
I actually just recently bought a used 3090 because NVIDIA's sales strategy for the 50 series here has caused the price of 3090s to fall pretty hard. It's still in the post but I'm looking forward to it arriving for my server build.
That said, even though I like used, I'm going to be looking for used Arc next time around for sure.
I don't really feel any brand loyalty to any components company, so for me this is great because it's disruptive and hurts the notion that high VRAM should be really expensive. Feels like a bit of a price bubble might be about to burst.

>SR-IOV?
Thirding this, I just need proper confirmation it's a feature. Something slot-powered with 16GB VRAM and SR-IOV sounds perfect.

Very interesting, will probably buy on release to replace my aging nvidia card.

Looks perfect for a home server. Local LLM (for home assistant voice assistant), object detection on video streams, maybe even a simple game server for local streaming with moonlight/sunshine so the gf can play vidya on her laptop/tv while I'm using my desktop.
Will have to step up from the 1L mini PCs I've been using up until now though.
