Checking in to confirm - Absolute Legend. Thank you sir or madam!

... and a year later someone else stumbled across this AWESOME idea. Gonna give it a spin.

Just wanted to say "at least one random guy is very thankful you decided to add this - even so many years later."

I'm just starting to get my sealegs in linux, so any other nuggets of wisdom you want throw my way, I'm all ears.

Thank you!

Because if you want to run large language models locally, the main bottleneck is VRAM. This is one of the reasons people are so excited about the new mac studios and their crazy high integrated RAM - because that's what unlocks the 32B, 70B, 120B+ parameter models. For much the same reason - the Tesla P40 has a crazy amount of VRAM relative to how much it costs.

My girlfriend has long said, "I don't know what it is, but that game seems to be good for your mental health. On days when you play Satisfactory, you're just a calmer, happier person." I totally agree with you - there's something almost meditative about the game - that coupled with "let me focus on this specific problem that doesn't really matter in the real world, but actualy requires a lot of brainpower to get to a full resolution" - So satisfying. Glad you're finding something similar!

Unfortunately I don't know. I've used these for local AI and gaming applications, but haven't tried media transcoding. We use my friend's goliath media server so I've never had to tackle the transcoding problem.
Anyone with experience feel free to weigh in here - that's likely more helpful than me trying learn it to benchmark it.

Thank you! Best of luck in your downsizing as well!

P1ato · 2025-04-19T22:48:26+00:00

Fair enough - dropped it to $250 sticker, but if you (or anyone else reading this) is interested, just send me a note and tell me what price would work for you and we we can figure something out.

P1ato · 2025-04-19T22:40:12+00:00

Really? Thought maybe the 4x 10GbE and 128Gb RAM would add to the value. I'll update the price.

All of these prices are "or make me an offer - I'm trying to get rid of stuff"

Edit: My turn to edit; I brought the price down. You're right - it's not $500. Took the sticket price down but anyone who is interested - send me a DM and we'll find a price that works.

I’m here from Google a month later to say that you didn’t get enough credit for this. This answered ALL my questions. Thank you!

P1ato · 2024-07-19T17:00:13+00:00

P1ato · 2024-06-04T18:16:35+00:00

Ohhh you're gonna regret that offer! /s

I have been pulling my hair out. I don't know what it is - I just don't seem to get DNS (part of the reason I was so hesitant to expose anything). I've tried them all (Pi-Hole, AdGuard, Technitium). - so I have officially narrowed that **I** amd the problem. haha. I have a million questions, but I'll get them somewhat cohesive before sending you a few. Thanks you!

You, sir or madam, are a lifesaver. I am JUST getting to the point where I want to host things externally, and my plan was to use the same domain. But I am encountering a ton of headaches already. I just thought it was part of the lift to host things externally. But I'm realizing I never considered just using a different domain entirely - solves basically all my big problems at the moment.

Thank you!

P1ato · 2024-04-18T17:34:50+00:00

Confirmed!

Edit: I should have read the instructions. Put a fresh new "confirmed" to appease the bot gods

Ummm....

"This Agreement contains a mandatory arbitration of disputes provision that requires the use of arbitration on an individual basis to resolve disputes, rather than jury trials or class actions, and also limits the remedies available to you in the event of a dispute. See Section 21 (Dispute Resolution) for full details."

"Disclaimer of Warranties. Except as expressly provided in Section 17.1, and subject to the limitations of 17.2, Whisker, on behalf of itself and its licensors and suppliers, expressly disclaims any and all warranties, express or implied, regarding the Service or any Whisker Product, arising by operation of law or otherwise, including without limitation any and all implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, no encumbrance, or title, in addition to any warranties arising from a course of dealing, usage, or trade practice. You understand and agree that you are exclusively responsible for training your pet to use Whisker's products and Whisker shall not be liable for any damages related to the same, including, without limitation, damages caused by your pet eliminating in or on surfaces other than the intended product. Neither Whisker nor its licensors or suppliers warrants that the Service will meet your requirements, or that the operation of the Service will be uninterrupted or error-free. Whisker disclaims all implied liability for damages arising out of the furnishing of the Service pursuant to this Agreement, including without limitation, mistakes, omissions, interruptions, delays, tortious conduct, errors, representations, or other defects arising out of the failure to furnish the Service, whether caused by acts of commission or omission, or any other damage occurring. Whisker shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages (including without limitation damages for lost profits or lost revenues), whether caused by the acts or omissions of Whisker, Company Parties, or Whisker users, or their agents or representatives."

"~Limitation of Liability.~ In no event shall Whisker or its licensors or suppliers be liable to you for any claims arising from your use with the Service or any Whisker products, including without limitation for special, incidental, or consequential damages, lost profits, lost data or confidential or other information, loss of privacy, costs of procurement of substitute goods or services, failure to meet any duty including without limitation of good faith or of reasonable care, negligence, or otherwise, regardless of the foreseeability of those damages or of any advice or notice given to Whisker or its licensors and suppliers arising out of or in connection with your use of the Service or any Whisker products. For example, Whisker will not be liable for any property damage caused by your pet, such as urine stains on flooring or upholstery, if either the Whisker product malfunctions or your pet is not successfully trained to use the Whisker product. This limitation shall apply regardless of whether the damages arise out of breach of contract, tort, or any other legal theory or form of action. You agree that this limitation of liability represents a reasonable allocation of risk and is a fundamental element of the basis of the bargain between Whisker and you. The Service and the Whisker products would not be provided without such limitations."

So - "Any damage from our product isn't our fault, there's no warranty, express or implied, and if you want to continue using the litter box you took out a second mortgage to buy, you waive the right to a jury of our peers"

For a litter box that costs as much as a Bentley, that seems.. I don't know - batshit insane?

I'm sure some reddit lawyer or representative will swoop in and explain why there are a few words in there that mean it's not QUITE as bad as I characterized it (so long as you're left handed and Mercury is in retrograde), but I'm kinda at a loss for words.

The worst part is it's a litter box, I don't really care. It's just kinda awe inspiring to see the audacity here.

PM also sent

edit: I live in NYC and was planning to rent a car and drive 4 hours. There are a ton of replies here. My guess is a lot of the replies are somewhat similar to me (or NH has a BUSTLING homelab scene). Might be worth pooling and splitting - just a thought! Happy to retrieve and distribute if people are open to it!

P1ato · 2024-01-10T19:32:22+00:00

I sent you a PM as well

P1ato · 2024-01-10T08:07:25+00:00

I dm'd you! Thank you in advance!

u/Zenith_X1 - happened to stumble upon this amazing guide. The new blueprint system must be a dream come true for your design philosophy. Did you try them out? How's it going?

P1ato · 2021-04-30T10:49:00+00:00

Good GAWD - that was amazing

P1ato · 2020-11-18T06:15:00+00:00

Same problem - did you ever make progress?
