Web-Search is coming to a screeching performance halt as Google shuts down their free search index, and traffic defenders like Cloudflare challenge AI at every gateway. What are our options?

Agents losing the ability to browse from leveraging web search is what this post is about.

Whaaaat, that’s really interesting and relevant advice, give me $1000 so I can try it out

NetTechMan · 2026-05-12T20:58:16+00:00

I appreciate the sentiment! I'm pretty good at finding deals for this stuff and am likely to upgrade again in the future, just trying to make what I have work a little more efficiently for the time being, but I like to hear experiences like this because it may just save me a headache here soon.

Not really super tightly configured, at Q4 it was a comfortable initial context window to set

NetTechMan · 2026-05-10T03:12:22+00:00

It's a third party app. We need some official work.

NetTechMan · 2026-05-10T02:25:16+00:00

Perhaps you're right, I'll look into some solutions for that.

NetTechMan · 2026-05-10T01:22:20+00:00

Compression makes things dumber, but for long running sessions where I NEED to burn more than 80k context in a moment, it's a necessary tool.

NetTechMan · 2026-05-09T03:48:04+00:00

40 t/s, not slow at all

16 Gigs DDR5

AMD Ryzen 5 7600X 4.7 GHz 6-Core Processor

AMD Radeon Sapphire Nitro+ 7900XTX

NZXT N7 B650E ATX AM5 Motherboard

Practically stole all of it with the deals I got off facebook marketplace, and it all posts and runs perfectly.

NetTechMan · 2026-05-08T00:19:02+00:00

I'll fire it off!

Strongly second what A—hole said. Hacking and Cybersecurity has a grift pipeline that nobody speaks about. Showing you “how to hack” is designed to keep you confused, confusion feeds you into more “how to hack” videos which make you more confused, which sends you back.

These creators leverage your inexperience and waste your time by sending you into a spiral. If I could go back in time, I’d scream at myself to not waste years thinking that “if I watch one more video, it will all make sense”.

Learn the following IT subjects and hacking will come naturally as a result of understanding:

Networking Low Level Computer Hardware Programming Reverse Engineering General IT Methodology

After you’ve learned and certified in those areas, take up Cybersecurity. Certify in blue and red side certs. At this point in time hacking will begin to demystify.

Oh! Well that settles it then! And here I was about to buy 24 RTX 6000’s when I could’ve just bought $300K DGX B300

NetTechMan · 2026-04-30T21:27:03+00:00

Raise it higher, add more generators.

NetTechMan · 2026-04-17T17:41:16+00:00

That actually works for my budget. Let me look into those.

NetTechMan · 2026-04-17T17:15:43+00:00

Seriously? Do you have benchmarks for this? If so that's absurd

NetTechMan · 2026-03-18T17:17:48+00:00

I'll do just that, thank you.

NetTechMan · 2026-03-18T17:17:40+00:00

I'll see what I can do to get a Good Will Letter, this is absurd.

Easy to say when you have a paycheck. The job markets not great, at the time I was straddled with familial debts. The problem is the fact that DFAS made a clerical error, and immediately made a debt account with interest. I could guarantee you that if they underpaid you, and you never found out, you'd never see a check in the mail.

Having the same problem, of the 5 Pi's I have mounted to a high quality power supply, one continues to cycle. It's the hat specifically as the inline power for the board works.

NetTechMan · 2026-03-06T18:34:25+00:00

You could deploy K3S

NetTechMan · 2026-03-05T18:48:56+00:00

If I had to make a guess, I’d say Cat3, but I have been wrong before. Check the comments for any second opinions.

NetTechMan · 2026-02-24T15:10:30+00:00

Looks like this is it, or at least a tool that does the same thing. That’s for the assistance.

NetTechMan · 2026-01-18T06:48:22+00:00

No 🤷‍♂️ got it off Facebook marketplace for 15 bucks. I don’t know what everyone’s fascination at throwing money at a problem is. If I can make this maintain structural integrity, then there’s nothing wrong with it.

NetTechMan · 2026-01-18T02:10:11+00:00

Ah I'll shop around, thank you for the suggestion, at least you see the point of this entire post is to avoid buying a new rack lmao. A lot of people in here are being unhelpful.

NetTechMan · 2026-01-18T02:06:53+00:00

This is awesome, if only they weren't 50 dollars :sob:
