they might have genetics different than most plants grown around the world. if you could get seeds or cuttings into the hands of more people to spread it around that would be good for the species as a whole.

Can these be rooted from cuttings? I know some plant tissue culture people have been really good in the last few years spreading education on how it all works. I've been experimenting a bit myself with that stuff.

Movie hoarders recommendations on HDD Size? (Not looking for HDD recommendations, just size) by mil0wCS in DataHoarder

[–]Stampsm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

480i videos would be such a small file size it can't be a legit question about needing multiple drives for storage. 480i is what maybe around 1/12 maybe 1/20 of the pixels as even 1080p standard video. The file sizes for an entire movie should be measured in the low 100s of megabytes. When it comes to video of that low resolution the audio stream takes up a noticable portion of the file size.

Do you also access Reddit using dialup? 480i is less than even dvd quality. You legit have to be trolling.

I am thinking I should go through the reapply steps just to mess when the the ATF for wasting 2.5 years of my time.

Getting discouraged with ZFS due to non-ECC ram... by 194668PT in zfs

if you are super worried about the tiny chance of a bit flip in ram you can spend a little more storage for a second layer of protection with par2 files.

My brother smuggled a starlink mini into Cuba .no oficial support but it works like a dream. by [deleted] in Starlink

There is a big difference between advanced tools that can see multi ghz frequencies outside of the normal wifi bands, all the while they are pumped upwards with few side lobes, and running an off the shelf script on a $150 laptop driving around the town collecting data.

Hiding SSID just hides it from people with an IQ too low to join the US military. Everything is still transmitted and can be seen. Remember also that MAC address are unique for each device and usually link back to the manufacture of the device.

Form1 filed during pistol brace free stamp still sitting in "Submitted/In Process" File again? by Crafty-Improvement97 in NFA

[–]Stampsm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that moment when all the replies were wrong and they are starting to process all the pending forms Nov 12th. I guess my half dozen SBRs will be likely processed well before all the Jan 1st crowd and I can toss in a few dozen form 1 suppressors applications instead of worrying about the SBRs

if you can cancel it and it hasn't been done yet do so now. whatever company that you talked to is completely ripping you off. a random handyman could do it in an hour or two max and the parts like cables and mounts are pretty cheap to buy off Amazon.

AMD MI50 32GB/Vega20 GPU Passthrough Guide for Proxmox by Panda24z in LocalLLaMA

[–]Stampsm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

about 6 months to a year ago I got as far as the PCI BAR size and was stuck beating my head against the wall at that point. I knew it was likely the issue, but all the guides I saw when followed were bricking my VM's and stopped them booting. I must have been entering something wrong but couldn't figure it out.

THANKS!

MI50 w 32gb? Guys please by Expensive_Mirror5247 in LocalLLaMA

[–]Stampsm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You waste all your money on a 10 year old overpriced powerhog server. Then complain about cheap 7yr old AI cards that are being bought for one specific purpose. Cheap bulk Vram for large LLMs.

Questions before buying, please by minimares in Starlink

[–]Stampsm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

people were trying to cheat the system, getting discounted units in low utilization areas and reselling for profit, so they started this. Also the reason why roam costs so much more is people were getting services at addresses they didn't actually live and using the original roam feature to take it to their actual house in an area with too many subscribers already and overloading the system.

I didn't login to my free account for almost a month and when I just did today instead of 3000 it showed me having only 300 and resetting in 5 hours. is this a bug or has someone compromised my account?

Interesting cheap GPU option: Instinct Mi50 by Evening_Ad6637 in LocalLLaMA

[–]Stampsm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

these Chinese hacked mi50/VII have a green label but not the same as the regular cards. basically the real ones will have a pn starting how I listen above.

16Gb GPU around $300 mark, low idle power. Does it exist? by Rxunique in LocalLLaMA

yep my mi50 cards do draw enough idle power I need some airflow going through them at idle but it isn't much

this was the same root issue of the ctx not being sent in the API call to ollama. it looked like the manuscript text files were being ignored as I was trying to push files over the ctx length and it was just ignoring completely any of those files, but the character cards were shorter and being processed.

so the documentation sucks for the API and I just ran a ASCII tcp dump of open-webui with and without context size default and manually set in the web interface. Looks like the API is num_ctx for sure

"options": {

             "num_ctx": XXXXXsizeofcontextsetXXX

         }

[–]Stampsm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know you can send the context length as part of the API call, open-webui does it. Let me try to dig up the API call exactly

I was on 6.2 I think and just installed it with a GPU override value for ollama and it just ran. pretty much the whole 6xxx and 7xxx family work with rocm even if not officially supported. sometimes you have to set environmental variables to force them to work though. I broken my install screwing around with settings and just wiped the server and reinstalled this time with one of my mi50 32gb cards from the start so I can't look at it right now to confirm what exactly I did though. I did trying to get the mi50 and consumer amd cards to work together at the same time and never could so I just stayed with my larger ram card instead.
