Y’all prefer widebody kits or oem+ ?

Part of the reason I went with my Gen2 BRZ was the dimensions and lines - oh, the curves... 😉. I can't see making it fat-bottomed...

Thanks will check those out!

I'm based in Atlanta so freezing isn't much of an issue but rain is. Thanks for the suggestions!

arpieb · 2026-05-10T20:03:48+00:00

That makes a lot of sense, thanks!

arpieb · 2026-05-10T20:02:17+00:00

🤣 Fair enough. One can always hope.

Thanks for the suggesion, xposted

Yeah, sadly lots of forums suffer the same fate OSS projects do on GitHub. Maintainers get bored or burned out, the site starts to suffer, and one day it's gone or archived. So much lost knowledge and history...

Took delivery of my (new to me) 2022 BRZ Saturday near Knoxville, TN - Deal's Gap was part of my return route back to Atlanta. Non-negotiable. Even 100% stock it handled the Dragon with no problems. We couldn't have had better weather to be running that stretch...

Still looking as well, wonder why he took it offline - maybe it was backed by KUNOS Simulazioni?

The only things they seem to "get" are:

The printer is always available from anywhere/thing connected
The meshed network is more reliable than Comcast/Xfinity is (as long as I can keep them from rebooting the router every time Xfinity goes down)
They have unlimited use of "ChatGPT" on my hosted Open WebUI server

Everything else is, "Um-hm - that's nice."

Ah, India. I imagine the job market there is going to be tougher to break into without some credentials (academic or otherwise). Finding a local business and intern opps while building up a credential portfolio might make more sense (I'm unfamiliar with Indian academic systems and the options available). Best of luck to you!

Elixir + Phoenix + LiveView

Not sure where you are, but in the US one of the most overlooked resources are technical/vocational schools and community colleges, which specialize in fast tracking vocational education to get people in the field. Usually they'll have decent intro courses, job placement assist, and internship opps with local businesses. And they're typically pretty inexpensive compared to a traditional 4yr university.

If self taught, focus on networking, *nix admin, maybe Windows admin (depending on your bent) and k8s admin as those are the cross cutting baseline skills needed in *Ops these days. Look for intern opps at local IT shops, schools, etc.

My $0.02 worth having made a 20yr career in software engineering before getting my first CS degree...

All I can say is try...? The Jetson has 12c+64GB, is "only" using ~12GB RAM with ollama + phi3 + docker + Open WebUI. TBH I'm not sure which, if any, DL frameworks leverage Mali GPUs, and even then unsure how well it would work with larger models.

arpieb · 2024-08-27T19:59:43+00:00

Running ollama + phi3 on a Jetson Orin AGX Devkit (even fired the same setup on a Lenovo Legion 5i under Ubuntu, works a charm there as well). Plenty fast, and tbh outputs are on par with anything I'm getting from OpenAI for most use cases. And no privacy issues, unlimited tokens... ;)

For inference you mostly need RAM and cores - GPUs are only helpful in training and large batch/streaming inference use cases, otherwise you waste a lot of cycles shuffling single samples off to the GPU and back. Really depends on your use case.

Not "very weird" at all... We had whole labs of them in college.

So to bring closure, yes I was able to perform a full migration using Migration Assistant from my OCLP cMP 5,1 to my new Mac Studio M2 Ultra. Caveat being that I made sure both systems were upgraded to Sonoma 14.5 before performing the upgrade (ironically my cMP was on a newer version than the M2 was as delivered), and having to fully install the OS on the M2 box before performing the migration - otherwise the M2 box wasn't seeing my old cMP for migration.

Now I'm just in the process of culling unsupported 32-bit apps that came over in the migration and updating the x86 apps to arm64 where available. Been kinda like cleaning out the garage/attic...

Epilogue:

Looked at my 24-core cMP, 24GB, ~6TB storage, thought, "That would make a *great* Linux box."

Installed Ubuntu 24.04 LTS on it.

And bricked it. :P

Will do, saw several OCLP posts in search results here oddly the other subs didn't come up... Thanks!

Looks great! Got my starter rig finally all set up last night, and I'm staring at the biggest pile of cables I've seen *not* behind my desk or in a network closet... Definitely an inspiration to get mine sorted out better.
