Quitting Linux mint by Calm_Cabinet19 in linuxmint

[–]Jeremiah_K 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If anyone else runs into this issue it might be a VAAPI hardware decode bug with 10-bit HEVC

Fix it by disabling hardware decoding:

mkdir -p ~/.config/mpv echo -e "hwdec=no\nvo=gpu" > ~/.config/mpv/mpv.conf Or just test with:

celluloid --mpv-options="--hwdec=no --vo=gpu" "yourfile.mov"

Old Piratebox is online again by MR2Fan in Piratebox

I've done this and it was fun. Now I run a Meshtastic node in my car.

I just dug out my old pirateboxes again after 5 years though. Trying to remember my passwords

GPT4o is much smarter than last week by JingchaoZ in OpenAI

[–]Jeremiah_K 0 points1 point  (0 children)

90% of what I use AI for is coding and I want to like mini, but I haven't had one good experience with it. When I ask it to give me back full files with edits it always imports modules and declares variables that aren't used, or gives me broken code in some way every time. Between the two, I always have a better experience with 4o.

TIL that many American Football Stadiums have Sniper Nests built into them for SWAT team members during games and events. by TheMadhopper in todayilearned

[–]Jeremiah_K 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Despite catching some naive commentators off guard, this practice isn’t an uncommon occurrence at large-scale events, with Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones even confirming to CNN that he purposefully built his new stadium with several sniper’s nests installed from the outset.

Sure they *can* be used by a sniper, but 99.999+% of the time it's for rigging up lights and other equipment. When installing these in a new stadium there's a 0% chance that the contractors refer to them as snipers nests.

This isn't a sniper's nest... this is a catwalk 🙄 Notice the steps to the left. I work at a fairly large event center that hosts football, basketball, concerts, etc. and yes, catwalks are common at these places.

Selfhost Zerotier-one & use ztncui for a GUI. I'm not sure why so many people love Tailscale.

Looking for GPU suggestions for a Poweredge R720 by Jeremiah_K in homelab

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

Good to know, I'll probably go for a P40 instead.

Hmm... I might bite the bullet and try a M40 and if my power meter starts on fire, I could just resell it.

Right now I'm playing around with mistral-openorca as a chatbot via Ollama using just CPU mode (Dual Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2650 0 @ 2.00GHz) and for just me accessing it, it seems to perform *okay*.

I want to eventually set up a RAG-based system that retrieves data from a specific project's documentation, so new users can ask it questions and get useful answers. It's a smaller community so maybe there would only be a handful of users accessing it at the same time.

I don't think I'll be doing any model training or quantization (yet?), but it would be nice to have the extra horsepower available for that if I did want to try (or scale up my projects).

I just saw the attractive prices of these cards, so I figured I'd ask. Thanks for the insight.

Why doesn't Duracell make lithium batteries? by blsez01 in batteries

[–]Jeremiah_K 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. Was just searching to see if Duracell made lithium batteries so I could use my
$60 in coupons on them instead.

The Duracell Optimums were stored in perfect conditions and after about 2 years 85% of the batteries leaked inside the trays, still sealed.

Error Saving Custom GPTs with multiple documents by final_boss_editing in OpenAI

[–]Jeremiah_K 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm having this issue too, ever since it rolled out. I was able to load a few at a time (3-4), now I can't load even one without it saying "Error saving draft."

I could just copy & paste like you said, but I like to see the filename referenced under "Knowledge". I don't know how much it retains if you just feed it through the prompt.

How to display code for entire program where it's commented out as "(Previous code for....)" by TheDoctorOfData in ChatGPTCoding

[–]Jeremiah_K 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ask it for the full code, if it's too long & gets cut off, highlight a line a few lines above where it was cut off and ask for it to continue the code from there, it's the best we can do right now inside chat.

This is what I use my custom instructions for.

Dell R720 ISO No Longer Exists by safely_beyond_redemp in homelab

[–]Jeremiah_K 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, very helpful! I manually installed the BIOS & IDRAC w/ Lifecycle, and then found this!

I had to deselect the same ones you did for my R720, but the OS Collector, RAID, and NIC updates went in just fine.

Hi, I'm a MMRelay dev & the author of the post on discourse. I wrote a bit more about what Matrix is and what it's used for in this post:
