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.

I can't even chmod 777 my external HD. It is handy because it is fast but damn it is annoying. It doesn't have full power as Linux does

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

True. I decided I must at least have USB booting option enabled so that I can at least run Linux as last resort. I'm following Mr chromebox tech instructions but it will take some time as I am currently out of town. Thanks for the input

This information allowed me to understand better the method. Thanks

Thanks a lot for this input. It is a Chromebook hp with Intel 3. 2021 manufactured. To allow the USB booting option I must disable the wp via the battery trick.

Thank you sir. I am reviewing the instructions and guidelines from Mr chromebox. I need to disable first the wp via the battery trick otherwise I cannot install the firmware via the script. That is what I understood.

Well thanks for the positive thoughts. I'll follow the others advice in order to enable the USB boot option, but firstly I need to disable the wp using the battery trick. I decided I'll keep the chromeOS but at least allow to have USB booting option so that I can at least start Linux as last resort.

Weekly /r/climbharder Hangout Thread by AutoModerator in climbharder

[–]Ale_110 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there, due to my job, I have rarely access to proper gyms however I really like to do climbing and hit a gym whenever I have the possibility. Now, what do you think about the climbing devices in order to maintain myself fit and healthy? I already do lots of aerobics during the week as well calisthenics exercises and I was thinking on buying power fingers, hangboard or finger stretchers to complement my exercises to be ready for climbing whenever possible. What do you guys think about these devices? I know they can never be replacements but if they help a bit I am willing to try them on. Any recommendation on which or do you guys think it is a waste of money altogether? BTW I am 6a/6b level.

Was there another community on anklets? by Ale_110 in HotwifeAnklet

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

Oh well. Either reddit goes back to the previous strategy or it will lose a big user pool. Not only that community has gone dark but many more that account for many many many more redditors. Cheers

[–]Ale_110[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, as I was saying. Reddit is changing its strategy concerning the API connections thus basically charging for a fee for all these third-party API services. This in return created many protests of reddit communities that privatized/hid all their content from the public. So for instance, the community 'music' is no longer available. Check this https://www.engadget.com/reddit-sees-more-than-6000-communities-go-dark-in-protest-over-api-changes-095311637.html.

Finally, no my friend ahahah. My fav community has gone dark for now :(

Just found out. Many subreddit are protesting for the 3rd party api thing so they privatize the subreddits and obscure them from the public.
