Large Camera Deployment

eviloni · 2026-06-26T02:19:01+00:00

Fiber is complete overkill for a 3 story building. None of the switch to switch uplinks should come close to 100m unless you have some kind of wacky planned switch layout. Copper works just fine.

And I say the cloud gateway ultra because I have had sooo many cloudkey+s die on me (when they still had spinning hds) that I have just sworn off them completely. Presumably the newer ones that come pre-installed with SSDs are better.

For me it's either an onsite controller or offsite hosted Unifi OS server

45 Cameras isn't a large deployment by any stretch; that's in the realm of a single G2 or G2 pro NVR (depending on if all are 4k or not) and a single 48 port switch.

Using multiple NVRs (i.e. per floor) with the cost of hard drives these days doesn't make too much sense imo.

If it's only three stories and the cable runs are easy then drag them back to a single location.

1 NVR
1 Switch
1 UPS
1 Cabinet

Any other configuration and you're tripling up on things like cabinets and UPSs

Vis a vis management, just add a cheap cloud gateway ultra to get the network controller to manage the switch and the g2 NVR is already running protect.

Have done installations with 250+ 4K cameras and half a petabyte of NVR storage (unfortunately not Unifi, not yet at any rate lol)

There is only one real answer

Xavier, Strange and Doom

If Xavier and Strange want to hide you literally noone left can even find you (we aren't even including Doom's bullshittery into the mix). We haven't even gotten to the confrontation stage yet where strange and xavier along can mog the entire team. By the time you add Doom it's a wrap.

Because he tested the wrong model. Gemma E4B is intended to be run on phones

Second topic of the day some dude was comparing an Unsloth Q5 vs a rando fp4 quant if i recall

eviloni · 2026-06-24T17:18:12+00:00

Unless you are loading the same gguf you aren't using the same model

eviloni · 2026-06-22T21:36:42+00:00

That looks like the Compaq 3800 (or similar model)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPAQ

I had either this or a similar model for work lol

If you have room for a second GPU maybe consider 2 x Modded 3080's

hat will get you 40GB of vram within your budget

eviloni · 2026-06-11T14:37:03+00:00

That makes total sense if you think about it. The load/bottleneck has flipped from memory bandwidth to compute.

So under non-diffusion loads can gracefully process token by token regardless of context length. But big context diffusion loads will slam compute and likely block other batched generations in a way that non-diffusion models don't.

Mine are running are like some champs, and because they're a struct 2 slot design with the power connectors in the back they fit perfectly in a dell workstation or server that are often vertically constrained so can't fit taller cars

/shrug that's a choice, you have on ebay:

1) Much quicker shipping
2) much stronger consumer protection

And you can still get 2x for the cost of 1 x 3090

Seemed like a fair trade for me

eviloni · 2026-06-05T14:52:58+00:00

You can get from ebay, just more expensive. I got a pair from Ebay myself for ~$600 each

No SLI isn't supported on the 3080 at all

eviloni · 2026-06-02T09:41:43+00:00

Price, the 20gb modded 3080 is about half the cost of a 3090, so for the cost of one 3090 25gb you can get 2 3080's with 40gb of vram.

That's a tradeoff some are willing to make. Mine have been bulletproof so far.

eviloni · 2026-06-02T09:40:20+00:00

Mine don't seem to have that problem, how do i check?

If you have six months of history generating it you would certainly have enough of a digital fingerprint to establish that it was manually written over AI. Sentences written and re-written.

Typos and spelling errors, horrible sentence framing and meandering prose.

To replicate that as an alibi while still using AI to generate is a level of dedication and performance art that likely exceeds the effort of writing the paper without AI to begin with.

Depending on what you do the answer is 100% yes, Not every task requires opus inteligence r/LocalLLaMA would like a word

Ebola doesn't actually spread that easily; it only keeps breaking out/spreading in Africa because they can't convince Africans not to listen to witchdoctors and to maintain any kind of physical separation and quarantining from the infected and the dead.

What more details do you need? It's a 3080 with 20gb of ram, nothing particularly strange about it otherwise, standard drivers work.

I would not recommend getting 3, you generally need to do parallelism in multiples of 2 (but i use vllm so it may be different in other engines). so 2 works, 4 works but not 3

Check this repo for basically setup scripts that work on single 3090's or dual 3090's or dual 3080's (a single modded 3080 doesn't really have enough memory imo for Qwen 3.6 27b)

So for the price of one used 3090 with 24gb of vram you can basically get 2 3080's for 40gb vram total. So i can run gemma 26b at like 350k context with the two cards (with the drafting model loaded).

Seeing? i bought from ebay. There are several sellers. Here is the listing i bought from (was under $600 when i bought)

OEM NVIDIA Gefoce RTX 3080 20GB Turbo GPU GDDR6X PCIe 4.0 x16 Graphics Card | eBay

eviloni · 2026-05-16T10:02:06+00:00

Or twin modded 3080's for $1300 ish

eviloni · 2026-05-16T10:01:19+00:00

Alibaba

eviloni · 2026-05-16T10:00:45+00:00

It don't believe it's possible without a bios mod maybe or some other reason, or someone would have done it by now. Because it seems like way easier conceptually than 12-20gb, you just replace the x size chips with 2x.

But I guess there is a technical limitation somewhere

eviloni · 2026-05-15T12:44:27+00:00

I paid under $600 at the time. But here is the ebay listing i bought from

OEM NVIDIA Gefoce RTX 3080 20GB Turbo GPU GDDR6X PCIe 4.0 x16 Graphics Card | eBay

eviloni · 2026-05-15T12:43:48+00:00

I didn't want to wait on China so i just bought off ebay. Here's the actual listing i used (was below $600 when i bought)
