What're some of the dumbest things you've done to yourself in Linux?
  • Messing around with system python/pip and newly installed versions till all was broken and then looking at documentation.
    This was way back on the 00's and I'm still ashamed on how fast completely I messed it up.

  • WeatherStar 4000+ Emulator
  • Just figured out there are 10 places called Lisbon dotted around the US, according to the search.

  • Linode Alternative Suggestions for Small Projects
  • I got cancelled too and chose Hetzner instead. Will not do business with a company that can't get their filters working decently.

  • Pyradion, internet radio TUI client, with recording functionality, written in Python
  • Lovely! I'll go read the code as soon as I have some coffee.

  • Why it’ll be hard to tell if AI ever becomes conscious
  • That is extremely better. It is a very interesting problem, as you put it.

  • Why it’ll be hard to tell if AI ever becomes conscious
  • We know remarkably little about how AI systems work

    Every single time I see this argument used, I stop reading.

  • SSD-1B: 50% smaller and 60% faster Open-Source SDXL Distilled Model
  • I do SDXL generation in 4GB at extreme expense of speed, by using a number of memory optimizations.
    I've done this kind of stuff since SD 1.4, for the fun of it. I like to see how low I can push vram use.

    SDXL takes around 3 to 4 minutes per generation including refiner but it works within constraints.
    Graphics cards used are hilariously bad for the task, a 1050ti with 4GB and a 1060 with 3GB vram.

    Have an implementation running on the 3GB card, inside a podman container, with no ram offloading, 1 vcpu and 4GB ram.
    Graphical UI (streamlit) run on a laptop outside of server to save resources.

    Working on a example implementation of SDXL as we speak and also working on SDXL generation on mobile.
    That is the reason I've looked into this news, SSD-1B might be a good candidate for my dumb experiments.

  • Microsoft Needs So Much Power to Train AI That It's Considering Small Nuclear Reactors
  • Oh my Gwyn, this comment section is just amazing.

  • Deleted

  • Goddammit! Don't tell that one, I use it to impress random people at parties.

  • What’s a game you consider cozy that others might not?
  • Not joking, although I understand it seems very silly at face value.
    Dark Souls 3 PvP specifically SL60+6 at gank town (after pontiff).
    It used to be my go-to wind down after a work day.
    It made me smile and actually relaxed me enough to go to bed and sleep, especially after a hard day.

  • How to set up Podman with NVIDIA GPU acceleration and macvlan networking on Gentoo
  • That's wonderful to know! Thank you again.
    I'll follow your instructions, this implementation is exactly what I was looking for.

  • How to set up Podman with NVIDIA GPU acceleration and macvlan networking on Gentoo
  • Absolutely stellar write up. Thank you!

    I have a couple of questions.
    Imagine I have a powerful consumer gpu card to trow at this solution, 4090ti for the sake of example.
    - How many containers can share one physical card, taking into account total vram memory will not be exceeded?
    - How does one virtual gpu look like in the container? Can I run standard stuff like PyTorch, Tensorflow, and CUDA stuff in general?

  • Just pip install mscandy -U

  • The First Room-Temperature Ambient-Pressure Superconductor
  • If at all true this would be world-changing news.
