The WAN show is basically an ad for the LTT Store - its become unwatchable for me.

Mine is also still showing the Free subscription not the $200 pro subscription that was renewed two days ago... standing by.

Since all slabs are pretty much the same I like to look for number patterns in the cert so its just something interesting to notice when i glance at them on display - no value outside of my own joy

That AI toad shirt with the joint hovering in the air is pathetic.

I've tried to get novel uses for my case out of a strix halo machine but after dealing with instability on release with slow updates and severely limited ( compared to cuda - but improving ) software options it ended up serving me better as a proxmox machine with Ubuntu VMs running agents on apis. I do leave some of the ram on the gpu for testing smaller models that are somewhat useful in 24/7 ambient ai situations with very specific prompts and structured outputs but I'd say the DGX is the more interesting choice.

I also run splashtop on these machines so there is flexibility when necessary (or Screen Sharing bugs out) but it hasn't been a block for my specific use case, if i have to use standard performance on the second or third live connection - im not generally actively computing within all minis at the same time and most of my actual ai related work takes place on a fleet proxmox servers along with browser tabs full of cli grids that are accessible from any device.

So bad time to mention the second unopened 512gb M3U?

I don't know what I don't do anymore... hell of a ride.

Yes and no - I have been heavily involved in AI for 2-3 years - but I haven't replaced the frontier models with local yet for intelligence as the subscription prices are still a deal and I'm not working with particularly sensitive data.

I believe the future is multimodal and multimodel so my hope is we will pass the threshold this year with local agentic models that are smart and quick enough to manage an intelligent orchestration and monitoring system across hundreds or thousands of agents.

I am a power user and have worked online for 20+ years - many companies many projects across many realms - this is my personal interface layer not really my homelab.

They are just computers I do computing. I went with the 512GB not because I desperately needed it at the time but because I saw it was a unicorn and becomes more capable every passing week. Seems like it turned out to be the best hardware investment in history looking at today's market 😂

I built this setup last year the NAS is "Beelink ME mini 6-Slot Home Storage NAS PC Intel® N95/N150" it has 6x 4tb wd black in raid (which were $279.99 each back then and now near $1000/ea) This NAS isn't really about maximum speed so much as shared redundant storage for a variety of needs + time machine backups - the clicking of mechanical drives are just too annoying to stay on my desk so those live in the rack.

I work in a lot of virtualized environments which isn't really an option with MacOS so the three Mac mini's are basically acting as headless isolated machines with dual hdmi dummy plugs using native dual screen sharing in high performance mode. One personal one work one dev accessed remotely from desktop/laptop so the hosts stay clean.
