Sometimes when I’m browsing unixporn I get the impression that Linux users have no clue what the fuck padding even is.

@s1m0n4@ohai.social @jon_bon@toot.cat When I moved over another machine that was using windows it took me maybe 20 minutes to get it to be exactly like my other machine, including all keybinds, wallpapers, theme files, etc. And I break something i can always roll back to the last working version! Only difficulty is managing space on something like an old laptop - you’re gonna need at least 50GB just for basic system files and packages.

@s1m0n4@ohai.social @jon_bon@toot.cat Yes, Nix (the package manager) and NixOS are amazing! I’ve been daily driving NixOS for almost a year now. Tbh it’s a very steep learning curve but if you want to tinker a little and have some patience to gradually build your config over time it really pays off, especially the reproducability and stability. It’s super easy to create a config that you can use across devices, so your system and user config are consistent.

@s1m0n4@ohai.social @jon_bon@toot.cat big news for NixOS!

Just made a Plymouth splash animation with some UI elements from Evangelion so I can feel like I'm a hacker whenever I boot up my machine.

@Lydie@tech.lgbt and have you tried using quantized models as well?

@Lydie@tech.lgbt How much RAM do you reckon is needed for Local LLM? I saw you were offloading the models partially to system RAM. Is there any rule of thumb what works best?
Also probably good to factor in offloading CLIP/VAE to RAM for image generation…

@Lydie@tech.lgbt actually the tip with the 2080 is great! Seems like a lot of bang for your buck.

@gamingonlinux Sad! I guess OpenAI cares more about automating the kill chain and helping the government spy on its citizens than creating some good old American slop.

I’m coining a new phrase: “Sloptop”
This is an old laptop that you considered using as a small homeserver but now you’re using it to sandbox openclaw since you’re too lazy to spin up a VM

@MostlyHarmless “Nooo you can’t tax billionaires, they’re going to just leave to another country” Okay, then let’s also tax capital and assets being relocated to fill any loopholes. Let them move away once they’ve paid their fair share, we don’t need them 🤷‍♂️

@birkenhack @DoESLiverpool Oh man, I can’t believe printers (or in this case fax machines) used to actually work without vendor locked ink cartridges, overpriced subscriptions and remote kill switches 🥴

@thaacomo wie schlägt sich wero denn im Gegensatz zu Paypal? Ich persönlich würde auch wechseln aber habe die Befürchtung dass nicht alle onlineshops es anbieten
