Everyone is mentioning nvidia, but amds rocm has improved tremendously in the last few years, making a 6900xt 16gb an attractive option for me. I currently have a 6700xt 12gb that works no problem with ollama and comfyui, and an instinct mi25 16gb that works with some fiddling as well. From what I understand, an mi50 32gb requires less fiddling. However the instinct line is passively cooled, so finding a way to cool it might be a reason to stay away from them.

Edit: I should add, my experience is on a few Linux distributions, I can not attest to the experience on windows.

Almost everything I have runs Debian or NixOS, so……… once a month? Except for VMs I’m playing around with, which usually get updated every time I log into them, or instal stuff.

Yet they are having trouble hiring people, they are all too fat to pass the basic fitness test.

I use proxmox because I am a tinkerer and VMs help me tinker without worrying about making major mistakes that might brick my server. If I want to try something new, just spin up a test VM and try it out, the rest of my stacks are safe and if I muck up the test VM I’m tinkering with, just delete it and start again.

I started with KVM-QEMU, which proxmox is based on, with virt-manager front end. Can do all the same things, but can be installed on most distros. Will let you get your feet wet with VMs without having to format and install proxmox.

User error

Tdarr is what I use to unify my media. It does a good job of converting my files to h265. Runs in the background with my tesla p4 transcoding 3 streams at a time. Ripped through my 30ish tb library in a few days. It can change bitrate and resolution as well, but I haven’t had the time to play around with that yet. Can watch you library for change and transcode automatically, or you can run it when you like.

“A man is known by the company that he keeps”

Seems to me this guy is a sexual predator, seeing as he hung out with so many.

More defense spending? They can’t even afford rice

Did you see him repressing me?

No regurts!

Isn’t it like ~$310,000 to raise a kid to 17? That’s, what, 2% of what is needed after the poor child is born? And some woman is going to decide to let a guy nut in her for $5000?

Man, with in vitro, sex toys and men who aren’t incels, I’m sure women will be just fine without assholes like this guy.

I’m too busy living in a shotgun shack in another part of the world.

Know way to many people that like that movie solely for that scene.

Where are they getting the money for the games? Those are expensive as shit, I’m still making do with games I bought decades ago because I can’t afford new ones.

How are they eating? Food is fucking expensive, are they getting free food as well?

How are they paying rent? Have to have a roof over your head and electricity in your walls to play video games all day.

This mother fucker thinks all guys are like his son, lazy mother fuckers mooching off their parents. What a dumb, ignorant moron.

Is that Danny Devito from “Matilda”?

If this is all happening wirelessly, that could be your problem. Looks like you have a 4g modem with a built in router. Is anything in the aar stack connected to the router through Ethernet, or is everything using WiFi? Try hooking the laptop up to one of the lan ports on the back of your router, see if that helps things.

Could also just be all the aar apps doing their thing for the first time, pulling from databases, downloading cover art, etc. once your library is all set up, they should calm down. Only way to really check this is to log into your router and see who the loudest talker is.
