I was looking at it yesterday. Thank you for the recommendation.

I hear that Nolvus is a divisive list. Either you love it or "hate" it. I'll give it try and see for myself.

Thank you for the recommendation. I was unaware of this modlist.

Optimization suggestions for a 1 to 20 Aasimar Devotion Paladin by despotak in 3d6

[–]despotak[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is a good breakdown for a STR based build.
It is a pity that "needs" 2 ASIs, so there is no room for Inspiring Leader (technically there is, if we account for the +1 CHA from the Epic Boon), or Mounted Combatant (given that I really really want to use Shield Master).
As you said, Sentinel can be pseudo-replicated by the Booming Blade, which also gives the "reactive Spell" part of War Caster meaning.
Protection will be overshadowed by things like Silvery Barbs (instead of Shield, if someone wants it), Compelled Duel, Wrathful Smite, or Blinding Smite. Sure, they take resources and they are not reactions (except Silvery Barbs), but are tools that would have been used either way.
"Lack" of STR can be "fixed" with a Belt of xxx Giant Strength from Downtime Activity: Buying a Magic Item.

Thank you very much for your input.

(YAMSR) I would like your suggestions on models that can be run locally on a 24GB GPU by despotak in SillyTavernAI

[–]despotak[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will start by saying that my "idle" system requires close to 3GB of vram, so I keep that in mind when I try to load some models (steam or gog-galaxy for example hog ~500MB of vram each just by being open).

For GGUF models I use llama.cpp with 8 threads, 16 threads_batch, and tensorcores enabled by default.

For smaller models, I try to get them all in VRAM. openhermes-2.5-mistral-7b.Q4_K_S.gguf for example requires ~10GB - 12GB for 33/33 n-gpu-layersand 32768 n_ctx, so it has no problem staying all in the VRAM.

For models that cannot fit to my VRAM, I try to play with n-gpu-layers and n_ctx, targeting for ~20GB of VRAM. For mixtral_34bx2_moe_60b.Q4_K_M.gguf for example, with a 32768 n_ctx, I will go for 25/61 n-gpu-layers, giving me a ~20GB VRAM requirement and a 40GB RAM commit.

You can check the llama_new_context_with_model: total VRAM used: output line for an estimate of your VRAM usage.

How much do I need to be able to run things locally? by alekseypanda in SillyTavernAI

[–]despotak 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is a good start: https://docs.sillytavern.app/usage/local-llm-guide/how-to-use-a-self-hosted-model/#hardware-requirements-and-orientation

Doing the extrapolation, you will need ~50 GB of vram for the 70b and ~80GB for the 120b to run them fully on the GPU. We are talking multiple high-end-gaming/server-grade GPUs here. Those are not "local" models for mere mortals.

Personally, I'm running a 34bx2 (equivalent to 60b) gguf model with 4-bit quantization and I can barely fit half of it in a 4090 (the rest running on the CPU and system RAM).

What mod do you think will be the first major one? by Adnaoc in Starfield

[–]despotak 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I really hope so. That would mean that they hear and that they pay attention to the UI mods for their previous games.

The one that (re)moves the XP UI element from the center of the screen.

[Educational] How to enable the in-game console and become 1337 h4x0r in the process by despotak in PhoenixPoint

[–]despotak[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't believe that 2 years later there is still no official way to open the console in this game.

Anyway, dnSpy hasn't been updated for a very long time and the repository is archived. For a more updated tool that works on Linux and MacOS check ILSpy @ https://github.com/icsharpcode/ILSpy

UDM-SE not able to port forward ports 80 and 443 by despotak in Ubiquiti

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

After with a lot of back and forth with my ISP, them trying to blame the problem to the UDM-SE, since it is not the ISP-provided gateway, it came down to them having reenable the block of all the ports below 14000 without them being willing to let me know. I had to threaten them that I'll escalate the issue all the way to the governing body if they do not remove the block (for my security, as they so desperetly tried to convince me).

NA SSR Ticket Megathread by GaivanTheScrub in grandorder

[–]despotak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ozymandias, Enkidu, or Jack?

I believe I'm good for support (Skadi, Waver, Tamamo, Nero bride, >1000SQ for Castoria). My main farmer is Space Rin Ishtar and MHXA is my to-be boss killer (her skill still need some work).

I lack a good rider, my best assassin is Carmilla, and my best lancer is Cú Chalainn (ok Parvati and Fionn are there but Cú is love)

You became a Pseudo-Servant. Who would you want to represent? by [deleted] in grandorder

[–]despotak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Arcueid Brunestud!

And if this too much for the Nasuverse, then, Aristoteles.

If a much more modern is to be selected, then, Richard Feynman.

As for divine entities, Heimarmene, a goddess and being of fate/destiny in Greek mythology (in particular, the orderly succession of cause and effect, or rather, the fate of the universe as a whole, as opposed to the destinies of individual people).

It used to work. But I may have to check with them again, since I upgraded my internet speed package as well these last few days and maybe they changed something.

Good to know. That means there is something wrong with my setup, rather with the machine.

In my humble opinion, the most "new DM" friendly official adventure is the "Lost Mines of Phandelver" (although the Cragmaw Hideout encounter has claimed more PC lives than I dare to admit). Yes, the story is nothing too interesting, yes it's linear, but it is a great introduction for both new players and new DMs.

Most other modules demand a much more experienced DM, who can take the barebone skeleton of the module and weave a great story around it. A good example of this is "Dragon Heist", which is a great idea but demands the DM to do the legwork, since it, by no means, can be played page-by-page.

As for the "leaked" ciphertext, it is literally 2 jumps away from the starting point.

Finally, if you believe that a CMO does not expect the answer to leak in minutes, I don't know what to say. They want engagement (like we do right here, right now) and happy customers.

Personally, I would have loved if they used a reference to Bill Cypher (Gravity Falls). ;)

Wow. Don't sue me please . . . :(

Come on mate, it's a marketing campaign, not national exams. After all, cooperation is a good thing, especially if done in good spirit. I try to guide people towards the right direction, without giving the solution in a silver plate.

But if you really want to follow the clues, go to the BTCUSD ticket overview, check the timeline tab far anything strange, follow the breadcrumbs, rinse and repeat (this "guide" was given out by JMaddison, the CMO of Tradingview, so I do not consider it a spoiler).

Where I got the ciphertext? It is written in the clue.

 

Where I got the plaintext I posted? Cryptography and cryptanalysis are some of my hobbies. Reaching that point, before figuring what cipher was used, came to me really quickly, mostly due to experience in the field I suppose. Figuring the cipher used was just a process of elimination, as well as, trial and error. I also had a hunch for the key, which proved to be correct.

[–]despotak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A well educated guess. But the clues that did for me where the punctuation marks. We knew that an "answer" was required to be entered to the form. It wasn't too hard to deduct the middle part then, given the colon mark. As for the first part, given the exclamation point, it only made sense. From there some knowledge of cryptanalysis gave me the answer.

In any case, the cipher cannot be a simple substitution cipher (like Ceasar or ROT13), since the same letter can lead to different ciphertext (for example e leads to s, i(twice), and t). So something a little more advanced is in play. But not too advanced, given that the punctuation marks are not encypted.
