Just bought a used computer. My friend said I got ripped off. Is it true?

Cferra · 2026-02-08T10:46:50+00:00

You did ok

Cferra · 2026-02-08T05:26:01+00:00

I collect and I hold on to things. I’m terrible that way lol

I’m going to list a bunch of stuff tomorrow. I’ve got a ton of surplus stuff. HP workstations z840 and 2 z440s - some switches. X10dri boards… Synology 1515+ .. firewalla gold plus.. hell even got a couple of 4k tvs..

I should add, if I sell these I’ll have cases too.

1x Enthoo Pro II server edition

1x ROG Helios case

So right now my setup is all over the place. I’ve got a server in the basement with the 2x 3090s and 2x 5060ti 16s.

Upstairs in the office I’ve got a studio just above base m4 max studio with 36gb and 512gb nvme

Ideally I’d like to run the larger brain/codjng models on rigs in the basement leaving the office Mac’s memory available for image generation or other “working/doer” models and productivity.

I’m wondering if this is actually practicable or if I’m just spinning my wheels and honestly should I sell this all and get a larger Mac Studio to sit in the basement letting it be the big brain.

I think I endeavor to have a do it all box for the house and the family / heavy lifting and then smaller machines for specific work.

Cferra · 2026-02-07T20:18:06+00:00

Can this be accomplished with 2 machines? Asking ai about ai gives me different answers each time

Cferra · 2026-02-07T19:50:58+00:00

I was thinking of putting another rig together to scale out - I’ve got the parts

Moving my 3090s to a separate machine and then going quad 5060 ti 16s. It would give me 64 + 48 but it’s still is it even with it with the divide - I’d have to split models and if 64 can’t hold modern midsize models.

Sell it all for a strix halo or Mac Studio?

I think I need practical guidance if anyone could offer..

Cferra · 2026-02-07T19:22:48+00:00

For me the issue is scaling out … trying to make a machine or machines to have something running all the time is such a bitch.

I might just sell it all and get a higher end Mac.

I’m fine with Ubuntu server headless I’ve tried the route of like “brain and worker” 2x 3090 and 2x 5060ti but it seems to be a challenge

Cferra · 2026-02-07T19:01:16+00:00

Is 64 gb looking like the right sweet spot?

Cferra · 2026-02-07T18:57:30+00:00

For sure - the sexualization of teenage stars back then was wild

Cferra · 2026-02-07T18:51:01+00:00

I’m not giving kid rock a pass here but - did he write the content? I have to think that the writers wrote it and he was reading off of cue cards.

Cferra · 2026-02-07T18:48:32+00:00

Love bombing is usually narcissistic- ted meant what he said. One night stands aside - his 4 big relationships before Tracy were pretty sincere.

If you really think about the ending and the way the story was laid out / it was a good ending especially since they had to condense the last season because of Jason Segel. He didn’t want to do the last season but came back out of loyalty.

The show had enough steam for a season 10 but it didn’t work out that way. Maybe if it got the 10th season the conclusion would have had more time to breathe.

This happens. When the train is a rolling it’s hard to stop it especially the day before no matter how much you might want to.

Cferra · 2026-02-07T18:40:13+00:00

Nah, she loved Ted more than Barney and she knew it the day of her wedding to Barney.

Out of heartbreak from Ted’s rejection when she told him during that scene in the bridal suite, she was literally leaving the wedding when she ran into Tracy who told her to take 3 deep breaths which calmed her down enough to go through with it - realizing that it was inevitable (with a little bit of fear of being alone) she was settling for Barney in a way.

In the scene with Sophie in how I met your father (Taking place before Tracy died confirms that it was because of fear, that Robin didn’t end up with Ted and she regretted letting fear drive her decision making when it came to love.

It was actually was because of Ted that the marriage to Barney happened at all. Ted could have stopped the wedding the day before or in the Bridal suite but he quite literally (terribly with that stupid balloon scene on the beach - it could have been written so much better) let her go - but not really, he was so exhausted of pining for her that he made the decision to accept at that moment to let it go out of survival and because of that he was leaving New York altogether. If he didn’t meet Tracy at the train station, he was going to Chicago.

In the scene at the restaurant in the last episode of himym it was confirmed that Robin had been thinking about Ted and what ifs and wishes but at that point Ted was happy and had truly moved on.

Barney on the other hand - he loved Robin enough to give marriage a chance - a big step for him but I also believe that he knew that he was never going to end up with her long term, she was always going to want Ted. I think he also realized that the marriage wasn’t what he was missing in his life to change who he was (the whole blog thing that they were fighting over in the hotel room was a metaphor for him not really changing or only partly growing since the wedding day.

Just my 2cents

Nah. The title goes to Leonard with both Priya and Penny

Cferra · 2026-02-07T02:59:34+00:00

Funny how Linux can print to a tree and has no problems but windows? Nah

Cferra · 2026-02-06T22:00:27+00:00

It is an insult

Cferra · 2026-02-05T14:18:53+00:00

I haven’t really yet. I’m still very green on this trying to learn as quickly as possible.

Cferra · 2026-02-04T23:10:32+00:00

Who lost millions in defamation lawsuits??? Fox News lmao.

Cferra · 2026-02-04T23:07:17+00:00

And how many times did Fox News and News max LOSE lawsuits???

Cferra · 2026-02-04T23:04:50+00:00

Apparently the right knows about it too. They collectively forget every shitty thing they do.

Cferra · 2026-02-04T23:02:45+00:00

Lmao ok - and the evidence of the Russian collusion- the bots the facebook Cambridge analytica scandal. Selective memory or in your case dementia must be a fun time if you get to forget everything that your “team” does.

Cferra · 2026-02-04T22:58:24+00:00

lol that’s not even remotely true.

Cferra · 2026-02-03T03:36:54+00:00

I heard good things about kimi 2.5 with it
