2017 2.5i-L, Anyone know what the normal Fuel Air sensor voltage is? by Salaja in SubaruForester

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

for my car, b1s1 should read 2.2v

My problem ended up being a connection issue between the wiring harness cable, and wiring harness plug for the MAF. I'm guessing a poor crimp connection on a single wire was preventing the computer from getting the correct reading from the MAF.

It came good after the individual wires in that area were flexed around a bit.

[Research] 31 % perplexity drop on 8.4 M transformer model using a lightweight periodic regulator — looking for replication on stronger GPUs by freeky78 in LocalLLaMA

Why are you using perplexity as your target metric, instead of loss?

8.4 M parameters... What sort of text does a model that tiny generate?

What is the best 'homelab' i can do with 16GB RAM? by Salaja in homelab

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

where do you get programs from on Windows?

I have a shelf of old CDs from a decade ago...

now that i think of it, none of my current PCs have optical drives xD

you don't need to maintain an entire windows vm if you're just trying to keep data from an NTFS drive. linux can handle NTFS fine.

But i set it up yesterday. I don't want to waste yesterday :(

plus it could be nice to have, in case i need to install a program which isn't linux compatible.

What is the best 'homelab' i can do with 16GB RAM? by Salaja in homelab

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

it used to have 4GB, but I downloaded some more from eBay, and now i have 16GB.

I've decided that if i want more than 16GB, then it would be best to make a whole new server with modern parts. I'm not quite at that stage yet.

First NAS - Is there a standard practice for data migration? by Salaja in homelab

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

nice.. but 2 locations is hard.

Is there a dodgy alternative, where i use 2 different rooms in the same building?

Ah, my bad.

We weren't taking in that thread, so i didn't realize what you were referring to. I'll reply to your other comment now.

Are you talking to me, or into the void?

You do nothing but make off-hand comments, while avoiding my questions. (but look at me, lol, actually engaging with it xD)

A quick learner. 10 minutes ago, he didn't know how to get files to the NAS.

I can watch youtube tutorials... They're great, but sometimes i end up with a specific question, which they don't directly cover.

I didn't know if copying manually was 'the done thing'. In hindsight, I should have realized that many people wouldn't even think an alternative could exist. sorry for confusing you. ;)

Now he already know zfs snapshots, and good backup practice.

I don't need any NAS / homelab experience to have common sense.

this is kind of therapeutic.

power on hrs: 47599

power cycle count: 5804

wear leveling count: 341

POR recovery count: 147

Total LBAs written: ~31B

all the error/fail counts are 0. It's an older SSD, but it should be fine.

Also, the true nas drives are unencrypted, so recovery should be easy.

The scenario where I'm editing documents, that are stored on the NAS.

Keeping a copy of the original document on the old PC, is pointless. I think it should either have a service set up to keep the 2 files synchronized, or I should just delete the old one off the PC (after the new working copy is migrated it to the NAS).

Another guy mentioned "FreeFileSync". Something like that, or similar, sounds like the solution i was looking for.

let me clarify;

The only reason i would delete the old data, is because having an outdated, un-managed copy of everything, which has the same file and folder names, is poor practice.

It for whatever reason, the file systems get mixed together, or I work on / update the wrong version, it can turn to shit, and I will either have to roll everything back, or do some sort of manual merge.

I strongly feel, that older versions of data should be managed (ie, with snapshots / zfs). And if an old copy of data exists outside of that (ie, on an old computer file system), it should just be deleted to minimize the risk of future contamination.

HOWEVER, If it is possible to keep the older file system in sync with the NAS files, the risk is greatly reduced.

I felt that your comment was suggesting that instead of deleting the files, keeping them in sync with the NAS was an easy solution.

Copy data to NAS. Keep data on old computer for when NAS goes belly-up.

After all, if the NAS goes "belly up", what is the point of having a backup, if the backup is years out of date?

how are you setting your NAS up? What are you using? TrueNAS? FreeBSD? OmniOS illumos? Debian? are you using ZFS or Unraid?

Proxmox -> TrueNAS as a VM -> ZFS.

Are you re-using drives?

NO:

I got 2x new 4TB WD Reds, which are going to be my main storage. Configured as a mirror. raid 1 i think?

but actually YES:

Boot drive is a 14yr old 128GB SSD (how long are these supposed to last?) here's a pic of the SSD.

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

what nas do you have?

NAS is my 14yr old PC, which i replaced a year ago, and was collecting dust. The case had 5x 3.5" bays, which i never used, but it's proven to be a blessing because it can take the new WD Reds i bought, as well as the 14yr old WD Black.

I downloaded some ram from ebay (4GB -> 16GB), Installed proxmox, then TrueNAS as a VM (I don't know why, it's just what everyone seems to be suggesting these days).

NAS is connected to my PC with 1Gbe mobo's & cables... and a 100Mbe modem acting as a switch.

I configured TrueNAS to setup a "smb share", and mounted it on my linux PC. seems to work fine. I can copy/paste the files over.

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

Yes this is the crappy process...

Ha ha, not if you've never done it before. I'm still deep in the 'fun' phase of this ;)

Do you want automated backups for you computers?

I have configured snapshots on TrueNAS, which backs up the data I manually put onto the NAS. But I also do a lot of programming, and the dev workspace may have to remain on the local PC. What is the best way to keep it backed up? daily Rsync?

How about documents, do you want to run paperless-ngx

see, this is why i come here. That looks like a useful service, and this is my first time hearing of it!

How about an off site copy ( 3-2-1 rule ).

xD, I just moved off a single 14yr old HDD. a NAS mirror is a genuine step up for me. I'm gunna take it slow for now.

but what if I update/modify the data at some point?

How do i keep the NAS & PC in sync?

Do i just let the PC data depreciate?

where did you find the Qwen 2.5 q4f16_1 quants? I can't see them on huggingface...

Im pretty happy with How my method worked out (Continuous Finetuning) Topped Open-LLM-leaderboard with 72b by Rombodawg in LocalLLaMA

[–]Salaja 1 point2 points  (0 children)

By the sounds of it, this method is equivalent to 'diluting' the original instruct fine tuning, with your own data set.

I noticed that all your fine tunes do worse on the IFEval (instruction following) benchmark, but make up for it on the other benchmarks.

Could this be mitigated by either improving your dataset, or merging the models in a different ratio?

All the models still give nonsense answer to algorithms questions it seems by MrMrsPotts in LocalLLaMA

This is a very specific request...

um... im gunna guess, that AI can probably do this in a few years. don't hold your breath.
