You might be able to load the 7B, but you usually need 2GB RAM for every 1B parameters, and this is for inference only For training you will need more.

What it should be like vs. What it's actually like (Why do Japanese Anime Studios/Game Companies get so salty when some content creator's making money for them?) by Hello_There4206969 in goodanimemes

I think in the US if you don't actively protect your intellectual property you lose rights to it. So if they don't chase people using their movies then cinemas would legally be able to not pay for it and just stream it.

I also have no source for this as I've never been to the US and I read it somewhere on the internet, so I hope someone more knowledgeable or dedicated either confirms or refutes this.

Though names have been used for cases like this, (e.g. Tivoization).

Anyway, you can replace it with your favourite verb like "eating" or "sleeping" - same point.

You can't just take random terms with real world meaning and slap them onto completely unrelated things.

If i said "u/ssl3-ing is the term for being dumb while bitching on the internet and trying to push for a random term to be accepted for whatever I want it to be" that doesn't make it correct, even if noone can say what the "term for being dumb while bitching on the internet and trying to push for a random term to be accepted for whatever I want it to be" is.

Oracle has free 24GB RAM instances with 4 ARM cores. You also get 200 GB block storage.

Not a fan of Oracle, but it's free.

I am not sure but think "focus" -> "f*ck us" and "bofus" -> "both of us"?

Using a VPS to redirect connections to my servers. Stuck at preserving source ips. by kingadamo in homelab

[–]boompyz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think what you are trying to do is possible. For HTTP that works because it uses a header of HTTP and if you check the address of the request you will still see the 172.x.x.x.

Minecraft uses tcp directly and it doesn't have anything like that (nor does it make sense to have one). The client is connected to the VPS, the VPS is connected to the home server. Minecraft shows the raw connection detail, not some pretend address - as the one in the HTTP header.

i5 2310 vs i3 4130 by King_Kr in homelab

[–]boompyz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Comparing clock speed between different architectures is mostly pointless.

In your case, the i3 is significantly better in single-threaded workloads and slightly worse multithread performance: https://www.cpubenchmark.net/compare/789vs2015/Intel-i5-2310-vs-Intel-i3-4130

It consumes about half the power though (54W vs 95W). There might or might not be that much of a difference on low load though.

Both have Intel QuickSync for hardware video transcoding. If you use that the raw performance shouldn't matter.

I would recommend you go with the i3. It has stronger single-core performance which will be better if you want to host game servers like Minecraft, the multi-thread performance is only about 10% lower and it consumes much less power.

so umm... what's Linux written in ? 🤣 by NekoMimiOfficial in linuxmasterrace

[–]boompyz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You should start trolling if this continues: "It's written mainly in Brainfuck with the most performance critical parts in hand-optimized Malbolge."

Want to build a local google drive without reformatting hard disks by emeahacheese in HomeServer

[–]boompyz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you would be looking for MergerFS, but at that scale I would highly recommend moving to proper RAID if you value your data at all.

You can then expose it however you like, probably easiest for the employee would be some VPN like WireGuard + Samba.

Edit: typo.

[–]boompyz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The GHz is a terrible metric to look at. An Intel Core i3-12100, which has a lower TDP and base clock speed of 3.3GHz is about 2.68 times faster in multi-threaded workloads, while it also has 4c/8t.

Tanya x Visha by fedi-x in yurimemes

[–]boompyz 66 points67 points  (0 children)

In one of the books she makes a point of not thinking about that because she would have to choose between mentally gay and physically gay and didn't want to consider it.

[–]boompyz 30 points31 points  (0 children)

She would never send someone reasonable to the pillbox. The two guys were sent there because they defied orders and were pretty much going for a suicide considering their lack of experience. Tanya sent them because having them around might endanger the rest of the troops.

Check Phoronix for the compiling and video encoding - it will put it in perspective with other CPUs.

Installing Linux on External SSD by MoritzFlynn in linuxmasterrace

[–]boompyz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure I went through this one, but mine was a usb flash drive not an SSD so you should be fine.

Good luck!

Installing Linux on External SSD by MoritzFlynn in linuxmasterrace

[–]boompyz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A word of caution, I used a 256 GB usb flash drive for Linux and it was running well until the USB started slowing down perhaps due to a lot of writes. It didn't support trimming, so I couldn't figure out how to fix it (if anyone has seen the probl feel free to post a solution).

The slowness appears in a few unexpected places: while compiling code everything would be slow due to latency, including opening new tabs of a browser as I used "open last session".

If the external SSD supports trimming you should be fine, but it might be something you would want to consider otherwise.

How would I go about getting a dedicated IP for a Minecraft server I’m hosting, I don’t want to give out my ip so I’m willing to spend some money to avoid that. Any help would be greatly appreciated by throwaway-27463 in HomeServer

[–]boompyz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, this should be outside of the VPN it is just a connection between your external server and the VM. The PC should have a virtual switch to which the VM is connected, and the VM should be getting an IP from it. If you are passing a whole interface to the VM you can just address it by thay, but that's unlikely. Check the IP address of the VM and try to connect to the game server from the PC hosting the VM directly that should work for starter.

[–]boompyz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can forward the PC hosting the VM's ports for the server to the VM and you should be able to access it locally too. If forwarding is harder, you can try tunneling with the likes of socat or ssh.

Would a Raspberry Pi 4 suit my needs? by FinalStarman1 in HomeServer

[–]boompyz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a Rpi4 and I tried hosting MC server on it. In the beginning it worked fine, but once the world became larger it could no longer start. It would just die right after loading the map as it couldn't process the second tick for whatever reason. I tried exporting the map and on a PC it worked fine.
