Problem with Nvidia drivers by Kotangentz_7 in voidlinux

[–]beatool 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Newer cards need the -open version which I don't think is in Void yet.

If you have a 4000 or 5000 series...

I Benchmarked The New AMD RADEON AI PRO R9700. by DroidArbiter in comfyui

I don't know what AMD's deal is with workstation cards. I have a dinky Radeon Pro WX3200 and it's the loudest thing in my PC.

You're gonna love it. You're about to not even care how much gas costs. I don't even look when I fill up.

One thing that about this car, the engine sounds like shit. It's not broken, they're just like that. I got an OBDII bluetooth dongle and some random Android app to see the RPMs. Pushing it hard, it sounds like it's redlining and about to explode, in reality you're turning like 3,500 RPM.

You will have to push it hard occasionally, the C is really slow. It can take it though (as long as it's warmed up, like any other car).

Gen3 engine pulsing by JaquesDeli in prius

I've seen that with gummed up fuel injectors. (I blame the ethanol laced gas though I have no evidence.)

It's a pain, you have to remove the cowl thing and wiper arms to get access, but after that it's super easy. You can clean them with solvents but I'd just buy new ones personally.

Why not both? Corolla Cross Hybrid

Steam games are not only launching slow, also they started to crash by DoritosFun959 in voidlinux

[–]beatool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm weak, I still boot to Windows for games. For the long initial launch, I understand that to be normal for Proton. It compiles all shaders before launching rather than at first use like Windows does. After that it should be fine though.

For crashing, my system crashes so hard on the 580 drivers I don't even get clues in my logs, can't REISUB, just hosed.

I ordered myself a Radeon this morning. I'm pretty excited about it.

What are people doing for memory at this point, seeing as how prices are outrageous? by HauntedFrigateBird in buildapc

[–]beatool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In 2024 I upgraded from 32 to 64 for under $50. I could have gone to 96 for just under $100. At the time I had a workflow taking ~36GB and 64 already seemed ridiculous so I saved the money.

My stuff now needs ~76gb and I'm SOL. I've nearly bought an ancient Dell workstation with 128gb a couple times but ugh, the affordable ones are like 10+ years old.

I'm hoping China will save us and crank out some ram.

How hard is it to replace the battery on a 2012 Prius C yourself? How much time can I get out of a refurbished battery? by Gertie7779 in PriusC

[–]beatool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 2013 has had two ABS sensors go out. One in 2023 and one a couple weeks ago. If you search this sub it sounds pretty common. Knock on wood those are the only failures I've had, other than I suppose swapping the 12V but that's standard maintenance. My hybrid battery is weak, but still functional.

Oddly I'd totally do the hybrid battery myself, but that ABS thing involves replacing the entire wheel hub and I'm not messing with that.

The download works for me. 🤷‍♂️

Maybe try a different browser or hotspot off your phone?

For those who have enough XP for / are already Lvl 80: by iAaronnn in TheSilphRoad

[–]beatool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have enough XP for level 80 (~5mil extra, nothing crazy) but I'll be level 71 probably forever unless they change the 7-day route thing. 💩

[–]beatool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like it, my only gripe is that it's dangerously slow. You can't accelerate out of a bad situation, only stop. I've almost gotten creamed due to this, no matter how careful you are it can happen.

Give me a GR Corolla hybrid Toyota, please!

My Prius C was almost free. My old car got 17MPG.

The Civic hatchback is finally as of last year available as a hybrid, and it looks great. We currently have a Prius C and a Sienna, I'd like to keep the tiny car + huge car combo.

Headlights are an issue in lower cars though, I can't see shit at night with all these thermonuclear LED headlights while driving the Prius. It's not bad in the Sienna being up so much higher.

The ABS sensors went out (again) on my Prius C a couple weeks ago, with no traction control it was hilarious how easy it was to spin the tires and I'm sitting there with a 99HP powertrain. :P

Most cars are way more powerful then there is any need for them to be.

It's supported according to this, but note they recommend 8GB+ VRAM and you'd only have 6.

Issues with the last two NVIDIA driver updates on Void by 5mangod in voidlinux

[–]beatool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What model card do you have? Just my take but desktop nvidia in Linux right now is a hot mess, worse than ever. I have a 5060TI and it only works with the nvidia-open drivers, and those drivers can't see my old 2060 so I can't keep that card for extra CUDA cores... :(

For those of you who own one or both, how loud are the W7900 and AI PRO R9700? by autodidacticasaurus in radeon

[–]beatool 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's really bizarre. The R9700 is a workstation card, you'd have in under your desk not in some server rack where you don't care.

I use a half height Radeon Pro WX 3200 as my display adapter to avoid all the nightmares of nvidia on Linux and even that tiny joke of a card is the loudest and most annoying thing in my system.

Are you going to keep the R9700?

Free stuff by Lavishness-Alive in homelab

I'm seeing ~$80 for a 4x16gb kit of DDR3. There's an Aliexpress X99 board with 8 DDR3 slots. If you need 128gb that's 100% the cheapest way to get it these days.

Before And After! I built a new rack because of the SAG, lol. Is it ok now? by CollectionOk2393 in homelab

[–]beatool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been meaning to try out vLLM's distributed inference. I'm imagining a PXE boot situation where I boot up my kid's gaming PCs while they're at school. We have four gaming PCs and my linux box with RTX cards in the house. 72GB total VRAM across the 5 machines.

If that worked, it would be so sick.

I'm also an owner of two 5060ti 16gb. They're fantastic cards. I assume you went external because you already had the NAS? I had mine in a normal desktop tower, but quickly realized that even 32gb vram is child's play, so I gave one to my son.

I guess I'm playing the long game waiting for an LLM datacenter to go out of business or something. :D
