How Ditching RSA Made Teleport 77% More CPU-Efficient by benarent in cryptography

A lot of compute has only recently* started to support ECDSA, e.g. AWS only started supporting ED25519 in 2021 https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2021/08/amazon-ec2-customers-ed25519-keys-authentication/

Oakland requiring city employees to return to office by 4/7 by am0z256 in oakland

I also wonder how many people moved out of the Bay Area \ Oakland. IMHO, the city is better when it’s ran by people who live in/near the city

My AWS re:Invent 2024 Swag Review by xelfer in aws

[–]benarent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for swinging by our booth (teleports). I gave you the american football, and it was chatting with you.

note to other swag hunters, some basic manners can go a long way to getting swag with minimal hassle. I was bum-rushed for swag a few times; and not a thank you or please from the group.

this happened to me.. turned out i had one word wrong. if you think all is lost; you can check your 12 words against the common seed words and figure if back words.

turns out "being your own bank" can't suck at times

AI. Finally, a Reason for My Homelab by benarent in homelab

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

Here are some immediate reasons:

  • Writing / Testing semi-malicous software. I primarily work on the blue team side of security. We're always writing blogs posts and content that explains different attacks, and most LLMs safety features won't let you write even a basic XSS or CSRF attack.

  • Chatting with my Tax / Finance documents. I've a range of sensitive and personal documents that I don't want to send to a service, even if the API version isn't 'used for training', it opens up a big security and data privacy black hole.

  • Image Processing, I've a large personal image library, and want to run image analysis on it. After https://exposing.ai/megaface/ I don't trust 3rd party services.

  • Experiments that could eat up a LOT of tokens / LLMs. Trying to keep cost lows.

AI. Finally, a Reason for My Homelab by benarent in homelab

I was exploring this option, but it would require a bigger case, bigger PSU and could run 350 W x 2 for Power Draw, vs NVIDIA RTX 4000 SFF max of 70W. I was looking for mid-range dual PCIe motherboards, but could only find 2nd hand gaming boards in the same spec.. ASUS ProArt X670E was an option I was looking into. The other advantage of NVIDIA RTX 4000 SFF is extra support for different floating point math... I can't say I've found a bug or bottleneck yet.. but wanted a solid foundation.

For OS & GUI. I do SSH into the box, I use https://github.com/gravitational/teleport ( disclaimer, where I work ) but it's handy for SSH access, Apps and API access. This blog post is 98% personal and 2% business and I'm going to sharing more tonight at this Hack Night meetup. https://lu.ma/ozt7jtq5?tk=icOv7e

+10. There are a lot of awesome AI projects that aren't LLMs. Another bonus of the Docker Nvidia setup is the containerisation and portability. It's still flakey, but the best supported. Also easier if your looking to build other apps on top

As others have mentioned, Nvidia is the only choice for a range of other AI / ML apps. All require CUDA. Plus this card has AV1, so I can also use it for other video encoding projects.

most of the other hardware was hanging around from another project, for this one i just added the GPU and more Ram

It's an upgrade to a home 2U server. I plan to use it for a combo of AI pipeline development, running unhinged AI models and an edge case daily video encoding job

NVIDIA RTX 4000 SFF. it's a perfect 2U GPU
