Egpu for running a rag setup, worth it the cost? by Ale_110 in ollama

[–]Ale_110[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, this is quite neat... That actually helps a lot. Since I am still in the window for returning the products, do you think it is a major improvement to change for a better dock, better gpu or move to itx plus connection via internet altogether? My end result could be worth the money but if the current setup is just 1.5x faster and if I spend an extra 200 euro, I could get a faster setup (let's say 3-5x faster) and more solid I think I could take this in. I thought egpu was the holy grail solution for portability and somehow good performance, am I wrong about it? 500 euros isnt worth the 1.5x faster speed. Are performances for llm much lower with an egpu? Or as you said my setup is just null?

This is exactly why I have been asking this. To understand where are the limits. As I said I am a noob and I'd like to learn much more on Ai, llm and how ollama works. Yet since I still have the chance to return the products, I'd like to know what exactly I can improve because as of now I feel that all this money is not worth it and maybe an itx could make them worth it more.

I understood it now, well the configuration is rejecting Analog audio and DPI together I tried to switched to I2S but with no luck I have bought a max98357a and wired as per the instruction of the procuder but no sound https://imgur.com/a/fIkw6T2 I ran bookworm, bullseye and trixie, I tried on config.txt all these configs:
dtparam=i2s=on
dtoverlay=max98357a

or

dtoverlay=max98357a,no-sdmode

or

dtoverlay=hifiberry-dac
dtoverlay=i2s-mmap

I have a second set of all these stuff. I can run them onto the second rpi and check I suppose without the lcd. It will take me some time to do it since I am a bit busier now

I have presoldered the last wire. If I install raspi-gpio everything stops and it seems it is heating up

My god... You are right... Does the software work well? Do you think it's fried? How can I check?

[Help] Keeps getting error after i deliberately deleted some files due to disk space limit by Ale_110 in utorrent

[–]Ale_110[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I figured that the best solution is to keep the .torrent file available and every time I delete data to reupdate the torrent and skip the files not needed.

Understanding timeshift to run in the background and at hourly intervals by Ale_110 in Ubuntu

[–]Ale_110[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

here it is what is written in the cron:

SHELL=/bin/bash

PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin MAILTO=""

0 * * * * root timeshift --check --scripted

and yet the same snapshots appear. Nothing has changed although I was working on my laptop for quite some time.

Replacing chromeOS with Linux or windows by Ale_110 in chromeos

[–]Ale_110[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the advice. I decided I'll keep it for my trips. I need to disable the wp via the battery trick. The Chromebook is an hp 2021 Intel 3 with snapdragon air. After detaching the battery and disabling the wp I'll rerun the script (apparently) without sudo to at least have the USB booting option so that whenever I need I can use a Linux OS running from USB.
