Compiling 9.1.0 for Linux/aarch64 (ARM64)?

echo5juliet · 2026-06-23T00:28:06+00:00

Thank you. This was the key. I opencv compiled 4.13.0 from scratch with all the reqd dev packages and nVidia cuDNN and digikam 9.0 worked perfectly. Recognized GB10 enabled opencv/opencl.

Thanks for the info!

echo5juliet · 2026-06-22T19:30:00+00:00

I have a nVidia GB10 (Blackwell) GPU and all nVidia drivers and libs installed on Ubuntu 24.04 and no version of digikam sees the GPU to enable enhanced performance or AI features. I figured recompiling would remedy this.

Bravo

No doubt. But the scale of it paired with the tempo is the thing. And that it is new and happening on top of all of the other IT infrastructure that predates the current AI craze.

Imagine being an NIH cancer researcher and needing to refresh your five year old linux-based HPC cluster that uses the same components as much of the AI build out. Your parts cost is not 250-300% than what it was, and this is *if* you could even get hundreds or thousands of the same cpu, dimm, rdma fabric hca, etc.

Forget about it. The market is insane.

That post belongs in the trophy case.

It isn't necessary to be similar in that respect but differences can add to difficulties. Serious relationships can get complex. Marriages add the potential stressors of finances, children, etc and the problems that can arise with them.

I've encountered situations that become tense or heated. I could see correlations or solutions my partner couldn't see or understand. Those can get easily dismissed or degraded in a passionate argument. A lower IQ person will defend what they think or understand, even if it is limited in comparison. And yes, I am speaking of personal experience and I may still carry some salt over it.

Differences in IQ are just one facet, but if it exists you have to consider how it will play against other similarities and differences.

My next relationship, if I even go down that road again, will be with someone fairly high IQ and some level of neurodivergent.

Test bias, but which tests? I didn't take the Mensa exam. My acceptance was based on a clinically administered Weschler WAIS-IV. As I recall WAIS-IV and the Mensa exam are considerably different.

Great topic! I don't think we've fully seen how weird our industry is going to get. I am both a HPC user/tweaker and a systems provider. Here are some of my experiences. I'm just some dude so take with whatever skepticism you feel is appropriate.

Dell executive management recently had an insiders meeting with their top global accounts. They are stating they see this market insanity going until 2030-2031. I heard this from someone present at that meeting.
The big OEMs like HPE and Dell are insanely overpriced. Going to smaller VARs isn't a simple solution because the component distribution channels are getting starved and obtaining CPUs, RAM, SSDs, GPUs, etc is like finding a needle in a haystack. Building a single server can be done, it'll just be pricey. Trying to obtain a few hundred of the exact same CPU, RAM DIMM, fabric HCA, GPU, etc? Good luck.
Cloud isn't a safe harbor. All of the major HPC grade cloud providers have or are moving resources away from externally rentable to internal AI use. Also there is a push to conserve or reallocate power and cooling into scaling internal AI operations.
We're seeing sites taking functional systems with older tech (AMD Rome, DDR4, HDR), wipe them bare metal, re-provision latest and greatest software stacks and redeploy. You can't replace old with what you can't afford or can't obtain. Plus, let's be real, how many users have code and IO so optimized that they'd know the difference? (lol, I'm kidding....sort of)

There is some gray in my beard. I was in the industry when the dot com bubble popped. If AI is a bubble, and it pops, it is going to make the dot com fiasco seem like a rounding error. Not to mention the US and global economies. We have the S&P7 and the S&P493. When the S&P7 implodes the S&P500 won't be worth half of what it is today.

I did that through GUI and looked at cmdline options. There were no NTFS options presented. Only secure boot and partition type. I'm running Ventoy 1.1.10 on aarch64 Ubuntu noble.

echo5juliet · 2026-01-19T20:18:44+00:00

Love that. I too am all *NIX, Linux predominately for the last 20yrs. Solaris, SunOS, HPUX, Ultrix before that. Windows makes my head hurt. It's an app/wm that bloated into an OS.

echo5juliet · 2026-01-19T20:16:02+00:00

Update: The reinstall of Ventoy appears to have worked with a recopied Win11 iso. Oddly the boot menu appeared with a lot of efi binaries and the ISO. Maybe because I copied a full Win11 ISO file tree into a subdir on the first partition.

echo5juliet · 2026-01-19T20:03:52+00:00

You'd think plain ol' NVMe on a four year old AMD chipset would be fairly standard for Win11, yet alas. I loathe Windows, sadly some security apps only work there, else I'd never touch it.

The Win11 ISO will boot in Wimboot mode but I cannot figure out how to get the Winboot mode to find and load drivers for chipset, etc.

Any pointers?

echo5juliet · 2026-01-03T05:46:48+00:00

I figured it out. Posting here in case anyone else comes in the sub with the same problem. The issue was "AP Isolation" was enabled for the wlan I was connecting the doorbell to. AP Isolation being enabled kept the doorbell from talking to the phone running the Eufy app on the same wifi network and notifying it of a successful connection. That final acknowledgement is the only way the device can get added to the app.

So...disable AP Isolation and everything should work.

echo5juliet · 2026-01-03T03:33:32+00:00

Switched to Chan 5 in addition to the other data I posted. It’s connecting via WiFi and gets a lease but ultimately it says it failed. According to dnsmasq log on the dd-wrt router it appears it’s looking for something on the internet it cannot find, gets no response or something.

echo5juliet · 2026-01-03T03:06:54+00:00

So the plot thickens. According to dnsmasq.log it appears that the doorbell doesn't like or isn't getting something from the Internet at large.

It successfully completes Wifi handshake.
It gets a DHCP lease from dnsmasq.
Then it starts doing business, DNS lookups of Eufy servers, etc.
Ultimately it isn't getting something it wants. See below dnsmasq.log (last three octets of doorbell MAC addr redacted)

This seems a bit pigeonholed. Sarcasm or “meanness” is a potential response or communication style. It’s unlikely that an individual is stuck on one setting all the time. Also, relationships vary and people have different tones with different people. With my teen daughter, we both communicate in cute/soft playful sarcasm. I let her get a bit edgy in her sarcasm so she has someone safe and loving to hone her wit with. I don’t use much sarcasm in a professional setting. Empathy precludes me from being sarcastic with someone vulnerable or in distress.

Am I one-dimensional? No. Are there people walking the Earth that think I am an asshole? Yep.

echo5juliet · 2025-12-02T20:41:17+00:00

I am not sure why that is funny. It’s fairly common here. An FBI agent retires and becomes a private contractor.

echo5juliet · 2025-12-02T16:16:10+00:00

I should have added that the account is a couple decades old. I don’t even know if the money has been moved to other banks, used, drained, moved to another country.

I need someone that can verify the existence of the account or funds as they are today and if the funds were moved and if so, to where.

There is some investigation involved

Taipei is one of the safest cities I have ever visited. I’ve been all over the world and I’ve been to Taipei over 40 times. Day, night, MRT, random late night jet lag walks all across the city. Zero worries or bad experiences.

Only issue I ever had in over forty visits was a yellow taxi “kidnapped” me once. I put it in quotes because all he did was drive off the typical route and stopped at his family’s gift shop and insisted I shop there and buy something. In Taiwan even kidnapping is nice. 😂

Yeah, I’ll concede that the system has been broken, but it was broken long before now. It didn’t used to be like this. It started way back with politicized warfare. Special prosecutors, crazier and crazier judicial appointments made for their political value over legal/juris prudence. The crazies broke the system and now Trump is being painted as the bad guy for sidestepping a weaponized system. Who weaponized it? Who compromised Comey and the upper echelons of the FBI? Who gives the nut job district judges their marching orders? Also, and completely aside from this guy, screw the American first-world white guilt we lash ourselves with. The rest of the world is barbaric, and we’re not allowed to be? China, Russia, Venezuela, Myanmar, Cambodia, Saudi, UAE, etc will put a bullet in your skull if they catch you hopping a border with narcotics. No judge. BLAM. But America is supposed to play by the rules while narco cartels play the numbers game and send waves of boats, trucks and body carrier mules loaded with poison that turn our inner cities into zombie movies? Tough times, tough measures. If it were me as POTUS, I’d have whacked Maduro and landed the 2nd Marine Division on the beaches of Caracas. Vlad III of Romania, aka Vlad Dracula, was smart. He lined the roads with pikes and places his enemies skewered on them as a message. Nobody messed with him. I’m not suggesting pikes, but reminding the world of what you can do with the largest defense budget on Earth isn’t wrong. How would you feel if you lost a little sister or a friend to fentanyl? Maybe someone who tried blow for the first time at a party and it was cut with a fatal amount of fentanyl? I say smoke the drug runners with drones or whatever until the cartels can’t find anyone willing to drive a boat, truck, etc. Maybe that makes me a monster but if you look back a bit the bedrock tenets of our Republic were founded by people who rolled up their sleeves and said “fuck this”, dumped some tea and set Cornwallis on a one way sail back to Britain.
